sure you get good torque figures from a diesel engine, but at that end of the performace scale its a waste of time running on diesel i reckon?

i mean i only run a diesel because its got good economy, that v12 well, wont, itl probly be worse than the equivalent petrol, or at least cost more because of diesel prices.....

If i had that money to spend on a car id go for a big petrol version, at least youd ge a nice sound! who wants a car that looks awesome, sounds like a tractor and costs more to run that the petrol version :S

IF you read the link it does not sound like a tractor, its quiet, very quiet, due to the multipul bursts of fuel and exhausts that meet 2014 emissions regs.
