Mercedes-Benz’s in house high performance division AMG may use diesel fuel to power its engines in the future. Talking to Whatcar, AMG’s product manager Oliver Wiech said the following when asked about using diesel: “We are taking an open view and looking at lots of options, but if you look at our (official) announcement on the electric SLS, you can see what is in the future.” I have started to like very recent diesel engines. They are very efficient and these engines also feature a high dose of torque which, in some engines can be felt beyond 4,000 rpm.
