Diesel Power Wins Again

Audi continued their domination of the ALMS yesterday in winning their second Le Mans in a diesel powered race car. Car geeks will also be interested to learn that Aston Martin defeated the mighty Corvettes to break GM’s ownership of the GT1 class.
On a related note, I was talking to a guy at Mercedes Benz a few weeks ago and he said that Daimler/Audi/VW have further developed the Bluetec diesel to be Tier II Bin 5 compliant, meaning that it will be a 50 state vehicle at last. A Bluetec E class and GL420 (with 290 hp, 24 mpg) will be available in the 2008 model year, meaning later this year.
