I rode in the V8 diesel Cayenne in Leipzig. Amazing torque!

Doesn't sound like a diesel and drives like a gasoline car, if I don't look at the tachometer I would not have known it was a diesel.

 

I think you've been drinking way too much of the Porsche Kool Aid recently Smiley. You need to spend more time in the V12 Italian cars to remind yourself of what an engine should sound like Smiley.  This claim about the diesel is made way too often. Its a sudden hit of torque I'll grant you, but then it flattens out completely and is a big disappointment , and if your window is open rather than shut it sounds very much a diesel even from start up, less than a diesel did 10 year a go but still a diesel. There is only one abomination greater than a diesel and that is a Prius Smiley.

 

Lol, well I did ordered a Cayenne TTS! Confirmed June production, delivery date is scheduled to be Sept 2nd :)

Anyway, I didn't say the V8 diesel sounds good, I just say it doesn't sounds like a normal diesel. Smiley
