New Diesel Engine

[scoobyseller555]

Had a visit yesterday,and cannot believe what a stunning bit of engineering this is.Must be the quietest diesel i have ever heard.Reading 55.1mpg and with a top speed of 129mph and 0-62 in 8.7 it isnt slow,ppp and what a car.

AMAZING

how much they going for then?

[terzo neil]

but its powered by the fuel of satan

and i work with big diesel engines pushing out over 1800 bhp

[scoobyseller555]

Start at £19995,it maybe the fuel of satan,but in september an impreza that can do 55mpg and be tweaked for performance,its got my vote.

It could be the way forward but its just WRONG

[RA Dunk]

would be a perfect daily driver and leave the real scoob for weekends though

[cullenmin]

How will it do towing my 'other' Impeza ?

would imagine with it being a torquey diesel burner it would do quite well

John,with such a large wave of torque i reckon it would be fab,its the fuel economy i was enjoying though,and its the quietest diesel engine i have ever heard.

wonder what sort of burble it would have if you gave it a full decat

I did read one roadtest that said it does have slightly unequal length headers and there is indeed a hint of burble on the diesel.

Its a bit ironic however that Subaru build an engine that 'should' knock and its apparently whisper quiet, meanwhile on the petrol version.....

[billyboy]

Not convinced.Just wait till those plastic timing chain tensioners -uck up and your engine goes bang!!

Is it the 3 litre deisel non turbo your on about ?

When you mention PPP has it been improved by prodrive or balk standard for that price ?

Have to admit in white, the new WRX is - well - actually a'right looks wise.

I suppose its just the getting to the new market look that doesn't really impress me.

However , at Ian Grieves today, me and Fab-1 saw the new legacy outback Hawkeye estate.

That car rocks. I can now understand why Gus the Bus chose a leggy for his next project.

Honestly though, we've got the old bus fron Gus and what a WRX in sheeps clothing. It's an extreme laugh at the lights when your typical 'back to front hat brigade' Nova driver pulls up wi' all his mates' wanting a pint and a fight just off the green light.

Fab-1 melted an 'older' 535 BMW the day. (safely I must add).

Happy motoring folks !

this is the 2.0 turbocharged engine with 150ps as standard,long term upgrade in the future probably 200ps..........sounds good to me.

SOUNDS LIKE A POTENTIAL, FOR THE BTCC.

Funny Brian,we were just speaking about that in the garage,think the test mule had around 220ps.

How you doing anyway long time no see!
