In 2002 a third generation model was introduced which saw the model move further up-market. Land Rover was now owned by Ford, after they took over from BMW in 2000. Range Rovers initially came with the BMW M62 V8 petrol with 282 bhp and 6-cylinder diesel engines because at that time, when the third generation Range Rover was being developed, it was still owned by BMW, although only the V8 gasoline is offered in North America. The last model has improved ground clearance and cross-linked air springs. This time, a unibody architecture was chosen, with many design cues from the original model.
From the Diesel engine of the 2006 model to the supercharged V8, the car can reach 60 mph from 14.8 seconds to 7.0 seconds (the Supercharged model is quicker than 91% of modern cars) and has a top speed from 109 to 140 mph (actual speed) respectively.
