Europeans get yet another kick-ass diesel

Put this one in the “Oh, why don’t we get the good stuff over here?” category. Mercedes’ new E420 sedan for the European market will come with a 4.0L V8 turbodiesel making 314 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque. That’s enough in both categories to shame most of the diesel pickup trucks on the road here in the US. It’s also enough to generate 0-60 MPH times around six seconds flat. DCX, I’m begging you – please offer this engine in the Dodge Magnum. The two dudes in the Hemi commercials won’t know what hit them.
