My remapped 4.2TDI sport would eat 535D mapped cars, it had 380BHP 785NM.

I tell you what the 4.2 V8 TDI chipped will give your RS4 a real shock.

At just shy of 2 tonnes it's a bit of a heavy lump! I'd want something as agile as the B7 RS4 with the V10 tdi engine from the le mans car under the bonnet!

I don't doubt that the 4.2 TDi would be mental but Audi will not do it. They will not pollute their sports car channel with Diesel. If they do, it will set a precident that other marques may follow.

Can you imagine BMW creating a real M diesel? Or Ferrari having a 430 F1 D. It just won't happen, there needs to be a major shift in perception before they'll do that.

I'm not saying it is not a bad idea at all and I would have one too but.............

Didn't Audi win LeMans running diesel??? I can't think of anything much more sports car than that!
