It’s one of those spectacles where you don’t mind your idols going down. Sure, the Ferrari 458 is likely the most worshipped modern supercar in the Motoroids offices, but almost everyone rooted for that rickety old black smoke spewing VW Passat, burning the dirty fuel.
I am personally a big fan of the torquey character of diesel motors outside of the race track. The modern turbo diesels can equip you to go very fast in the real world without having to hold the engine by its neck. The video elaborates how properly tuned diesel engines with right weight distribution and traction can outrun their petrol counterparts right from the word go.
Check out this nondescript VW Passat B2 sleeper from the ‘80s take down the 562 bhp Italia dominantly. We’re sure you’d be amazed.
