Thumbs up new Mercedes Diesel V8 Delivers More Power

http://www.greencarcongress.com/2005/05/new_mercedes_di.html

Quote:
The 231-kW (314-hp) V8 develops maximum torque of 730 Nm (538 lb-ft) at engine speeds as low as 2200 rpm. This allows the new E420 CDI to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.1 seconds on its way to a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). Combined fuel consumption stands at 9.3 litres per 100 kilometers, equivalent to 25.3 mpg.

Compared to its predecessor V8, the new engine delivers 20% more output, 30% more torque, burns 1% less fuel and meets the Euro4 emissions requirements.

Is that a hybrid? At the autoshow in NY in april MBUSA had a concept R-Class with a V-8 Diesel-electric hybrid. I assume the hybrid is a similar system as Honda uses in the Accord based on the statement on MBUSA website. The specs on the R-Class hybrid are very impressive. I hope we see in in 2007 or 08 model years

Obviously the engine itself is not a hybrid but can be used in hybrid applications. My guess is that is what was in the R concept vehicle. Diesel Hybrids are where it is at and I hope Benz gets out there soon!
