RR With Diesel Engine???

Rolls-Royce dementierte die Pläne auf Nachfrage nicht: "In den letzten hundert Jahren hat es viele ungewöhnliche Dinge bei Rolls- Royce gegeben", sagte Markensprecher Frank Tiemann in München. "Das will ich für die Zukunft nicht ausschließen." Allerdings sei es wenig wahrscheinlich, dass die neue Limousine gleich zu Beginn mit einem Dieselmotor startet. Auf den Markt bringen will die britische Luxusmarke den "Baby"- Rolls laut Tiemann noch bis zum Jahr 2010.

I honestly wonder why the ultra-luxurious still have no diesel.

I think it is technically possible to make a big diesel as silent as a petrol one. The even bigger torque could allow a more silent ride because it would allow to drive with less downshifting. And given the lower consumption it will have a much better autonomy, so all this make a diesel perfect for that kinf of cars.

I heared about a project of V12 cdi for the Maybach some times ago...But nothing followed.

RR / BMW are playing with this idea. Researches show customers in RR4 segment are warming up to diesel ultra-luxury. If diesel in a sportscar (Audi R8), why not in an ultra-luxury car. Times are changing. Time will tell wheter the RR diesel will be really offered. It's a strong possibility ...

Diesel = Torque = Good for luxury cars.

I give it a thumb up as long as they manage to keep the engine noise down.

They've already managed it.
