E50 CDI AMG (W211)
Does anyone know any news about this "super-diesel" car????
The only thing I know is that it will have a V10 engine with 315Bhp and will do
0-62 in less than 6sec... :roll:

and the V10 Diesel is 100kg heavier than the gasoline V8, so make the handling go shitty

yep i agree with u
i like diesel engines, but there is no reason to use them in these cars
there is no diesel engine that sounds like a V8, V10, V12...

is this even true? I haven't seen or heard of an E50 cdi b4. I didn't even know AMGs are tuning diesel engines.

yeah, i don't think this is true, i don't think Merc and AMG would build something redundant to the E55...this guy usually posts up some unreliable stuff...

diesel engines are rather important for torque and power than fuel mileage...a diesel engine has so much more torque than a common gasoline or metanol engine....and even on a V10 or V12....

I think it is possibly true since they built the C30 CDI AMG, not that it would make too much sence though.

All I know is that diesel engines are very good for towing. My parents have a motorhome with a inline-6 tubo-diesel engine that packs an amazing 1200 ft/lbs. If the AMG came with this amount of torgue, then it would be a beast.

C30 aside...it's unlikely for AMG to churn out an Uber diesel benz. Let Brabus do that i say.
