[V8] 6.5 litre diesel?

[Bastian Homburg]

Oh, Audi offers diesel rockets, too: anything with a 4.2 TDI in it (A8, 
Q7). The current iteration offers 350 horsepower and 800 Nm (that should 
be  590 lb/ft if I recall correctly) - zero-to-sixty in five seconds 
while getting 30 mpg.... Now you only need to convince Audi to sell 
those on your side of the pond. Maybe they will when gas hits $8/gallon 
like it is over here...
