R-Class Question: R-Class with V8 diesel?

[rightnow]

Hello guys,

My father asked me if I could ask some of you, if anyone have heard when the R-Class is coming with the V8 diesel engine?

Best regards,

Christopher

Hello Rightnow,

As far as I know, there are no plans of equipping the R-Class with the '420 CDI V8 diesel engine. Sales in Europe have been poor and there is no need to add an engine to an R-Class model which will sell in even poorer numbers.

The R320 CDI 4Matic should be powerful enough. I've driven it and it's not slouch. Here's the review:
