OOoooooh... Tempting.

Forget the BHP, what about the tyre shredding torque!

I had a modified D3 4.0V8 TDi that had a massive 900NM!! It was by far the quikest car I've spent any time in, and I make cars faster for a living!!!

The 4.2 is better than the 4.0 too!

It was truely awesome! Sounded great too!

Best timings I ever got were around 4.1 sec to 60 and it hit rev limit in top at 188mph!
On a run I could avaerage 40mpg too! The perfect super car!

I destroyed a V10 M5 on lanes in it and a Porsche 911 GT2 in a drag race from ###mph - ###mph on the M6!

I really miss that car!
