Slighty off topic, but relevant:

In the past 6 months, this part of scoobynet, have been discussing performance oil burners more and more, and I doubt any of us would of imagined that a year ago, but it looks like we'll be seeing it more and more.


The launch of Eco-Speedster marks the start of this new emphasis on diesel power. It demonstrates how lightweight aerodynamic bodywork and a new 1.3 litre CDTI common-rail diesel engine can achieve an impressive top speed combined with fuel consumption that will make cardigan wearers everywhere drop their pipes in amazement.

During initial testing the 112 hp concept car reached a maximum speed of more than 155 mph while fuel consumption on the combined cycle was an incredible 113 mpg.

Cue a 330d 'Sport' owner claiming they have more torque....

That much torque you can probably just go in a straight line and flatten anything that gets in the way ;)
