After driving both the Golf and Focus Diesels i can understand how they pump out so much grunt. The torque on tap is huuugge. Bring it on i say. Imagine flogging a V8 diesel around Bathurst with the Supercars in tow!

I would have loved to see that. I have heard Ford has a supercharged diesel they are hiding for next year!

Pretty cool. It’s obviously not intended to be like a performance diesel you could buy in a showroom, but all the same it’s a bit irrelevant

Diesel is definitely one of the “now” technologies – Audi’s R10 TDI is currently dominating Le Mans for instance.
