I was keeping track for awhile, then gave up, then found this vid from last year today. Everything they have done is a direct attack on old problems.
Being one that witnessed a supertuned straight six behemoth in the early 1990s get high 20s mpg in a 4 door ford pickup,80s mph on the highway at 1800rpm, loaded with junk and a truck cap...wow.
"The diesel could be amazing as a v8"
I really like it, and it is indeed a leap into ecomod. I bet a super tuner gets the 30s mpg easily...for alot of work potential.
I see the dakar race this year has vw madness engineering dieseled in (a crazy freakin race vehicle), but at least someone thought of the diesel for the tough situation.
that crank girdle! I want one for a small block Chevy build-up.
