27.77 km/l or 65 mpg. That's pretty good, even for a turbodiesel. Any english info?

I'd buy one, if I could get a bodykit for it.

DQuaN · Oct 19, 2005

I think it looks great! I want one!

barryl85 · Oct 19, 2005

It's certainly different! i'll give it that! not too keen on its looks.

I dont think i'll ever have a diesel - i just dont seem to like them.

Nice spec tho and nice Mpg!

1) It's German so of course I'd buy it.
2) It's German so of course I'd b...oh already said that one.
3) It looks fantastic.
4) With decent speed like that who cares if it's a diesel...hopefully it won't SOUND like a diesel.

A seven-speed DSG transmission, lifted straight from the Veyron, I guess. The car's looks don't work on me, but I wouldn't mind seeing some of those technical features on road cars (other than the Veyron, that is)

Young_Warrior · Oct 20, 2005

lol no definetly not lifted fromthe veyron. The veyron transmission and engine weighs 1400kg.

More like out of the upcomign S6 audi which will have a 7 speed dsg gearbox.

More likely from the Audi TT 3.2 liter.. I assume that a 1.5 TD makes almost the same amount om torque as the 3.2...

Buy an Audi

Or the new Golf R32...

A Mini copy?

Giancarlo · Oct 20, 2005

Looks like a HotWheels car.

I see I slipped my tongue (wasn't thinking), except for the tranny... Remember the 3.2 only has six speeds.💡 :sly:

Oh you people! (i.e public in general)
:rolleyes:

The Citroen C3 1.4 HDi will already do 65 mpg, albeit less quickly.

Young_Warrior · Oct 21, 2005

Volkwagen made a car about 3 years ago that did 100mpg out of a 1.4
Also the tranny will most likey be similiar to the upcoming s6 with 7 gears.

Why the hell are all the cars that give excellent gas mileage always looks so ****ty?

Danny · Oct 21, 2005

Air resistance is lowered because air rushes out of the way of the ugly cars.

Blackbird. · Oct 21, 2005

That's actually quite a plausible theory.

Look up the MB "Blowfish" concept. 0.19 cd!
