BMW Launches worlds most powerful diesel 6

[FiRi@Rennzport]

Hmmmm 290 odd KW from a 6 cylinder with 4 turbo charges seams a bit low on power if you ask me...... or are my expectation set too high?

Diesels don't make horsepower. They make torque.

Areas 330d pre lci made more then 600 torque....I also expected 4 turbos to be much more torque. But as MSO said, they targeting low down. Nice none the less.

Remember power to weight... These figures are launching a 2.5 ton luxobarge.

I bet if the limiter were removed it would accelerate at a constant speed right up to and beyond 300kph with hardly a drop in power delivery.

You also need to take into consideration the emissions limitations and the goals of fuel economy. Some tuning could unlock the true power of the beast

They actually building them much lighter now. Under 2 tons when i last checked :coolShake:

This is cool, but why so many turbos? Surely two would suffice..

If you only want power figures, then yes. For response, the more the better. How it delivers power is just as important as the headline figure.
