Most rempas do not do this.

or a new gearbox.........

Ok, true, my fault. There is a german SD4 Mod, that changes the engine hp from 190 to 220.

240HP Is really a lot, don't know how the engine can deal with this over a long period of time?

For cars that most of you have doubts about the reliability of I am surprised that you are so ready to bust your warranty ............................... even remaps cannot be hidden from the engineers these days as the EU required black box now fitted records all the engine operating parameters for use by LR Engineers, Police and Insurance companies in the event of a warranty claim or accident.

The theoretical top speed of the SD4 in 6th gear is approximately 175 mph. This is the gearing which is 35mph/1000 rmp X the max revs of about 5000.
Obvioulsy the car cant do this due to lack of power/torque and its aerodynamics.
Therefore adding more power will increase top speed, its just a matter of how much power you can add.
Also please note that the tyres are not rated for much higher than the standard top speed.
