4400 cc V8 petrol does not make sense. Turbo charged petrols are limited to 4000 cc.
So it must be a diesel, but that does not seem right either. Normally you use the maximum displacement for a certain restrictor size/boost pressure: 4000 cc, 4250 cc, 4500 cc, ..., 5500 cc.
Next year diesels get 10% less air, hence my guess for 10% less displacement = 5000 cc.
