Mercedes Benz Diesel SL 400 CDI
 

This thing is a bi-turbo V8 Diesel.

I don't think I've thought we'd see a Diesel engine in a sports car, much less an SL.

Interesting.

diesel actually fits a sports car better than petrol :) for example BMW 330D is not far away from M3...but much cheaper

I'm not hating on Diesel. I love Mercedes Benz and I've even owned a Diesel Mercedes in the past and I can say that Mercedes Benz does Diesel better than any other manufacturer, I'd love to see what the Torque in one of these is like.

I loveeeeee that car

I think BMW makes the best diesel cars, but thats just because Im BMW loyal. :)

that was sweet...nice style! i love it

so you would have to find diesel gas when you need a fillup? What a pain in the balls. Fuck that.

It't not that hard to find. I never had a problem finding Diesel fuel.

doesnt every gas station have diesel?

nothing wrong with diesel power ; take a look at the specs of this baby:

vw touareg v10 tdi.

Diesel cars are for square people.

I like it.

great cars...cool ride :thumbsup

That thing was sick for sure.

The price was up there though, VW has problems with selling cars much over $35-$40k. It contradicts the precepts on which VW became famous.

Hence the Phaeton which will be gone from the US market after this year.

nice ride!

If I was getting a benz, that'd be the one ;)

yeah the translation of "Volkswagen" is "a peoples car" . That name does not go well with large pricetags it seems. In Holland however Volkswagen is an expensive brand. The vag (volkswagen audi group) therefor took over Skoda and Seat a while ago and turned them into equal quality products. They all have the same engines, durability, safetyfeatures etc. the vw's and audi's have, but with way lower pricetags.

you have never driven a mercedes CDI now have you?

No and I don't plan to. :thumbsup

Definately a nice car!

that is hot

I would never go back to gas. Diesel is the only way to go. I'm hooked on the 48MPG and the amazing torque.

yeah I know, they are way too expensive for most people :winkwink:
