Porsche diesel
 

Man I would love to nose around under the hood of this jewel:).

Porsche diesel

Kinda makes the hybrid look bad doesn't it.

Imperial gallons....makes prolly less than thirty us.

My brother had one of these.

Complicated much?

32.66 USMPG
39.23 MP imperial gallon

:) - that's right they started out building tractors didn't they.

Thanks ED - that sucker has a heckuva alternator on it doesn't it.

There has been a black one getting around a town near here for about a year. looks like a local accountant's wife uses it to run the kids to school. looks good, seen it take of from the lights ~ it flies !!
I didnt know it was only a 3 ltr 6. the gasser comes as a V10.
Probably under the hood it would be plastic covers every where. The plumbing & wiring would be like a big city road map.
You would be welcome to the head ache Jim !!!

I wouldn't want to have to change the belt on that engine! It looks hard enough to do without it actually being installed in the car :eek:

They are big gallons & figures are for people with a weak right foot.
The car looks bigger than a full sized Toyota landcruser.

LOL

The ones that I hate to see come in the shop are the 160k+ miles BMWs with the lifetime fill tranny that has never had fluid/filter change. I find it hard to have to tell the owner that there is a probability that he will need a transmission rebuild if it gets changed. I won't touch them.

Had a BMW 545i in the shop today doing some service work on.

Over here young kids with too much $$$$ go for ~10 year old BMW's. I guess its a good way to get them off the road & into the wreaking yards. Average time till written off is about a year !!

LOL

There is good money to be made working on old BMW's:).

Pretty Sweet!! i'd bet it hauls A

I've seen a black one running back and forth on US 50 between I-495 and the bay for around a year and half now. It's got "DIESEL" written down each side near the bottom of the doors.

I've got a phone quality picture around here somewhere...

is that a SUPERCHARGER? JEEEEZ!! that's a big alternator... WTF is it rated at? 500 amps?

whiew... 4 belt idler pulleys... all plastic it looks like too...

Looks way overcomplicated.
