Post Fastest Diesel Estate (Wagon) ??

If you take a close look at the performance figures (Below) the E320CDI Diesel Wagon (Not sold in USA. Poor choice by MB) out-performs the E320 V6 Petrol version.

I have one and it goes like a bat out of hell.
The advantage to a Diesel is that the torque kicks in at about 1400 rpm and is there all the way to the max revs (4500 rpm).
Also there is no Turbo lag.

NOTE the Miles per Gallon figures. If you are in USA this might not matter, but in UK both petrol and Diesel is over $5.00 a gallon

Anyone know of a faster/better performance diesel Wagon. Or for that matter a E320CDI saloon car. (The BMW is not as fast! before someone puts their foot in it)

S400 CDI V8

In response to your question:

The Mercedes-Benz S400 CDI V8.

Displacement: 3,996 c.c., 8-V, twin turbodiesel
Horsepower: 250 @ 4,000 r.p.m.
Torque: 560 Nm @ 1,700-2,600 r.p.m.
(30 Nm MORE than the Mercedes-Benz S600 V12 gas engine!)
0-100 km/h (0-62 m.p.h): 7.8 sec (factory figure), about 7.1 timed at race track
Fuel comsuption:
City 11.4 liters/100 kms.
Highway 6.0 liters/100 kms
Mix 8.0 liters/100 kms

The new B.M.W. 740d V8 should also be very close on the race.

And just to combine the best of the two mentioend above...Brabus modified a E320CDI and spooned in a tuned 400CDI engine!!! THUMBS UP for Brabus!!!

I saw the E400CDI as a saloon on the IAA in Frankfurt, but I am sure that this modded engine can be ordered in a wagon/estate as well .
