hmmm V10 diesel super car!!

Quote, "the problem lies with the power delivery, in part due to the narrow rev-range characteristics of a diesel engine."

Stand by for the first 16-speed gearbox in the world!

Stick a clever enough version of DSG in that keeps it in the range, and you have a very usable little supercar.

apart from the fact that people buy supercars cos of the noise......

and anyone who can afford a gallardo doesnt really care if it uses less fuel.. lovely idea but would be surprised if it ever comes to market

true paul, it's probably just a marketing ploy! though a V10 in a supercar does sound good

I think with enough playing it could sound good at full chat, just idle would be, well, like a 1.8T

It's the VW Towrag more powerfull though ?
