Simonl Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 What's the audi 4.2d - is that a twin turbo V8 or V6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterS Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Definitely a 4 litre V8, but non twin turbo AFAIK. A quick google shows 259PS and 600NM of torque. Now replaced by the 745d, with 700NM (according to the BMW Russia press release which google through up ) Edited to add, only in LHD I think Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanG Posted March 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 That would make sense as I am in the US. Interesting this is the first diesel engine I have seen for BMW in the US. VW and MB produce them at the moment, but no offerings from BMW or Audi as yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I think the 740d has been out in europe for a good while previous generation as well but BMW have never brought it over here and only offer the 3.0d in a 7 series. I have read that is going to change but I don't know when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 With Audi being the only marque with a V8 diesel over here, there really is no choice but for Merc and BM to follow suit. Merc is working on a V8 diesel for over here too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonl Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 VW have a V10 diesel. That needs to be the benchmark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
