Weightlifters: 6 Diesel Cars, Which Travel Faster Than Gasoline

7 Mar

 

What can you associate with the word “diesel”? With trucks, economical, good traction and a quiet but confident way. But there are diesel models, which will give odds to many gasoline sports car – we will tell you about the most prominent of them.

It would seem that a diesel in its original essence is far away from sport. Diesel, as we know, is not ignited by a spark, and overpressure. To withstand this pressure, diesel engine blocks are heavy and massive. So what sport are you talking about?

Even the most modern diesel engines are set primarily on the economy and rarely give true driving pleasure. Even with their high torque, they often require a good start when pulling away, have a narrow range of the bright Pick (1000 -2000 rev/min).

And anyway, why do we need a fast diesel car, if there is petrol one? There are two main reasons: a diesel one can provide good traction and it is economical.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class of last generation was presented in 2013. Despite the excellent dynamic performance, character of sedan does not adjust to active driving. It is built for the passenger, not the driver. All its electronics is designed specifically for its comfort.

Talking about adaptive suspension Magic Body Control (previously detects irregularities and prepares for it, “dismissing” the right shock absorber), and a set of functions of PRE-SAFE (blocking brakes at traffic lights, control fast approaching cars, etc.). For all that, the car can travel quickly, and despite the fact that the heavy and luxurious flagship by dynamics is on the last place in our review, its characteristics are unattainable for many other results.

Externally hot M5 is not worse than others and not better than most” – not everyone will be able to recognize in the usual business sedan irresistible road car. The most dynamic car in our ranking was able to “go” from the index in five seconds. Interestingly, M5 is equipped with the same diesel engine as the crossovers X5, X6 and other brand model.
