Land Rover Introduces New V8 Diesel Engine With Compacted Graphite Iron Cylinder Block

  * New 4.4 litre V8 diesel engine with SinterCast-CGI cylinder block
  * Cylinder block production underway at the Tupy foundry in Brazil


[Stockholm, 21 June 2010] - Jaguar Land Rover, the first automotive company to
introduce a high volume engine based on a Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI) cylinder
block, has unveiled its fourth CGI engine - a 4.4 litre V8 turbodiesel. Similar
to the engine's 3.6 litre predecessor launched during 2006, the new 4.4 litre
turbodiesel upgrade is based on a SinterCast-CGI cylinder block produced at the
Tupy foundry in Brazil. The 4.4 litre upgrade delivers 230 kW (308 horsepower)
and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque, representing 15% and 10% improvements
respectively. Despite the larger displacement and the significant power
increases, the new engine provides a 10% reduction in CO(2) emissions compared
to the 3.6 litre predecessor. The engine satisfies Euro 5 emissions requirements
and is expected to be available in dealer showrooms during autumn 2010.

 "We are pleased that Jaguar Land Rover's positive experience with the 2.7, 3.0
and 3.6 litre SinterCast-CGI engines since 2003 has established CGI as the
material of choice for this new engine" said Dr. Steve Dawson, President & CEO
of SinterCast. "We look forward to expanding our collaboration with Jaguar land
Rover, Ford and Tupy as we continue to support the development and production of
high performance and environmentally friendly CGI diesel engines."
