It's beyond me to understand how anyone would miss a discontinued 4-cyl diesel engine? It's a shame that they were allowed to be built in the first place

Agree that it would be a shame On-Track as it really is a stunning engine. However, I was told at the OPC that Porsche are trying to sort out problems with it being too powerful for the PDK box and once resolved they'll be back on sale. We shall see.

Luke the 4 litre is a V8 which is part of what makes it so special

Ah, of course, I read that incorrect

. I don't have much love for diesels in general, but a lot more so for a V8 than a 4-cyl

I agree! I drove several hundred miles in a new Panamera SD with the V8 4.0 diesel and it was amazing! Like engaging the warp speed drive on the Starship Enterprise!

Hope this won’t spoil the parties!

There was a strike last week at the factory- the first of a series!

28 hour week - FFS - that's 3 days at a push or 2 days if you are a hospital worker

Imagine the chances of blagging a GT3, if they actually carry this out?

It's hard enough on a 40 hour week!
