That Merc engine is a stump puller.

2.14litre and produces 369lb/ft torque (500nm) :brag:

Well in excess of 100lb/ft more than the 'new' Audi 2.0tdi 170

Over 70lb/ft more than BMWs best 2litre Diesel

To put into perspective, thats the same torque as Audis 3.0 V6 Tdi, or a BMW 4.8 l V8 petrol engine as seen in a BMW 550i.

Come on Audi ...What are you waiting for? ;)
