RR Sport Automatic shifter

Just looking at the UK Landrover website regarding the 2013 RR Sport, and i noticed that they display both the Automatic Dial shifter (as in Evoque,2013 RR Vogue,Jags),and also the traditional stick shifter.....so whats the story here?
Would'nt they all be the dial shifter for the 2013 model update?

Ah o.k. thanks, that makes sense now.....interesting that here in Australia, along with the V8's, they are delivering all 2013 (3.0 diesels) with the gear lever 6-speed. The 8-speed auto and it's rotary selector with paddleshifts, is NOT offered as an option,or even mentioned anywhere.

The V6 with rotary shifter was introduced here in 2012MY, ie in October 2011, so it must be something market specific for LR Australia or you are getting all our unwanted old stock out there........................

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Yep i think your right ....i checked other countries websites, and found it is market specific, sighting South Africa, Singapore, china just to name a few that are like Australia, and only offer the 6-speed for the V6 Diesel.
