Should be interesting to see what they come up, mercedes has been making some of the best diesels since the 1930s. I predict it will be better than the audi 5L V12 Diesel.

But how will you get all that torque to the road? MB cars already require significant ASR intervention to accelerate from a standstill. Does anyone really need anymore?

i hope things like that will set the trend for most automakers and will help US legislature guys to finally realize there is no better solution right now for car makers then to start shifting their focus to eco friendly bio-diesel engines and electric motors with batteries that have enough capacity for a long sunny drives. If performance automakers will create enough following with those engines, then it would pretty much be a ticket for a mass acceptance leading to mass production.
