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.

im not even talking V8 diesels here. Them V6 diesels are much better than that crappy mustang V8.
 
Well when people buy a V8 then don't necessarly care about fuel economy. :p
Also there aren't too many modern v6 diesels on the market that are cheaper then the Mustang V8.

even Diesel engines are better than the mustang V8. They rev just as high , have more torque, last longer, give better fuel economy and many have a higher output too! The mustangs V8 is just terrible. It belongs in the 80's.

Diesels do 6.5krpm?
 
youngwarrior dislikes Mustangs so much he won't even ride a horse of that breed. :roll:
 
The Mustang is a great car, I always liked it.
Looks nice, V8, cheap. Power to the people. If I had the money i'd buy one. Sadly you pay about 30.000? here which is a bit too much. Only thing I don't like is the weight, everything else can be solved.
 
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:
 
No they couldn't. You have no idea how much work and know-how and expensive parts are in these high tech engines. But you also can't compare these concepts. Of course the Audi is technically better, but you don't compare a Fiat Coupe to a Ferrari either and I still like the Fiat Coupe.

They don't and they won't for several reasons. One of those reasons is costs. You have also forgotten just how versatile the engine in the Mustang actually is.

lolollolol yes they could the engine costs about 5 grand to make. that leaves 25 grand left.

And if you want to talk about versatility the 4.2L V8 is in the A4, A6, A8 and Q7, oh and the gumpert apollo. So the engine ranges from 340hp up to 1000hp (the 1000hp being the gumpert)

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.
 
Along with the Chevrolet V8 the Ford Modular engine is one of the most versatile engines today. Used in everything from trucks, vans, 2 door coupes, 4 door sedans, $100,000+ supercars.

Eg. BMW:

I4 2.0L petrol: 150HP, I4 2.0L diesel: 163HP ... +16HP

I6 3.0L petrol engine: 272HP, 3.0L diesel 231HP ... -41HP
I6 3.0L bi turbo petrol: 306HP, 3.0L twin turbo diesel 286HP ... -20HP

4.4L V8 petrol: 333HP, 4.4L V8 diesel: 330HP ... -3HP

And because of it the engine isnt class leading in any of those vehicles. The ford GT using that engine is a joke. Couldnt ford have just made a seperate engine for it that doesnt drink fuel like a dragster
