LR would NOT be happy as I understand it.

In the case of a D4 with 255 horsepower and 8 speed gearbox, over 400 foot pounds of torque, twin turbo 3.0 diesel, and a 0-60 time of sub 9 secs - isn't that enough? Surely not worth a power boost to invalidate 3yrs manufacturers warranty.2023 Ineos Grenadier 3.0 Diesel Commercial

Yes, but ... new RRS with the 'same' (what is different?) engine is quoted at 292bhp, so that ought to be an easy gain. Of course, no one has answered on here quite what the differences are but it shows, as we know already, that the basic engine and transmission combo can handle +20% quite easily

What suggests to you that the transmission (a relatively new unit) can take +20% in the longer term?
I find it interesting that they have restrained all bhp options to 600 Nm.Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948
