My standard 3.0sd (3.5d) is faster from 0-60 mph than my brothers new LCI 3.5i.
We have not raced to each other at higher speed, but I am pretty sure I could kick his a$$.

I have owned them both, the 35i is quicker. But the tranny is different in the two, so that can have some impact on the shifting/revs.

In Aussie spec the 35i is a bee's dick faster pedal-to-metal than the 35d (27.0 seconds verses 27.4 seconds for the standing-start kilometre), but the 35d is stronger in give and take driving given its mid-range power advantage.

That's an Aussie native bee. They are slightly better endowed than their North American or European counterparts ... that's the way things are down here.

Being a tech you should know that you can't measure anything fine with an African bee. Too big.

On a more serious note, the 35i also beats the 35d (again, this is Aussie spec) to 100km/h (62mph) by 0.4 sec from a standing start (6.8 vs 7.2 second). Given that there's also a 0.4 second difference for the standing start kilometre (27.0 vs 27.4 secs) you would have to think that the 35i gains its advantage on take-off but once rolling the 35d is every bit as fast. How much of this advantage is due to the 8-speed gearbox, or just the difference between turbo-diesel and turbo-petrol power is difficult to say.

PS: The 40d we have Down Under now does a claimed 6.6 secs for the 0-100km/h sprint and 27.0 secs for the standing start kilometre.

That spec sheet gives the data for the 30d, not the 35d although the 35i is still faster in standing-start acceleration than the 35d.
