Man, we're talking 553 lbs torque at 2,000 rpm which makes it a great road
car!

My latest Mercedes Benz Diesel, a 300D, 6-cylinder turbo, produced about
155hp in a vehicle weight of 3750lbs.  I could cruise at 100-110 mph all
day, or until the State Police took notice.
And I got upwards of 35 MPG in a 3750lb car using 20 year old Diesel
technology.  The TDI and CDI designs are certain to give better fuel
mileage!
