The modern V8 diesel is again more expensive then the Mustang V8. The Mustang V8 is built to a lower price then everything you have compared it to.

Oh really? Developing a maximum output of 420 bhp, the V8 revs up to a speed of 8250 rpm. With its displacement of 4163 cc, this engine exceeds the magical barrier of 100 bhp per litre - truly outstanding in a production saloon. Maximum torque of 317 lb-ft comes at 5500 rpm in this very compact engine, with 90 per cent of the engine?s torque consistently available between 2250 and 7600 rpm. The result is excellent muscle and pulling force at all times, enabling the driver whenever he ? or she ? wishes to drive in truly relaxed style without frequent gear changes.
A high revving V8 with plenty of torque in the low rev range
So this engine is smaller than the mustangs, revs alot higher than the mustangs, has basically the same torque as the mustang but alot more power than the mustang. It also has 90% of its torque available down low in the rev range. Whjat your saying doesnt match up.

Does Audi sell it in a car that costs under $30,000?

If they wanted to they could. But audi's are desirable so they dont have to :lol:
Many have higher output? What else makes 300+ horsepower besides the 4.2L diesel in the Audi A8? You'll have to forgive me if this seems like an ignorant question, as the only high-performance diesels I hear about are the ones shown on Top Gear.youngwarrior said:even Diesel engines are better than the mustang V8.
