Whats common in the following Le Mans Winners since 2005, fastest land speed record holder of 563kmph, and the latest Lamborghini Estoque all are Diesel powered. The fuel of Satan is taking over the world and purists and connoisseurs are helpless!
Traditionally all cars ran on petrol and ungainly and heavy things like buses and lorries and trains used Diesel for propulsion. But now even the little city cars are running on diesel. Whats the world coming to eh? Is this a good thing or a bad thing then? Don't ask me, cause I don't know myself. But even the Astons and the Lambos of the world are looking at diesels as an alternative to petrol. this can of course mean on thing, the world is going to end!
While the inventors of the petrol engine sat back and rested on their posteriors, the guys who made the diesels have been scratching their heads ever since and have come up with a plethora of newbies. Common rail technology, particulate filters, selective catalytic convertors and urea injection, all make the modern diesels quiet, effective, clean and efficient. Isnt that what everyone wants? U could however argue that diesels will never match the responsiveness of a petrol, but all i can urge you to do is to drive a modern diesel without knowing its a diesel and the common folk will be presented with a challenge. They are really that good. Does that
mean we shun the petrols from now and make a beeline for the diesels? Maybe its not that time yet, but surely that time is not far away. Enjoy while u can petrol heads, diesel heads will rule in no time..
