314hp, 730Nm, 0-100km/h 6.1s, limited to 250km/h. twinturbo V8.

240 kW (326 bhp): With this extremely impressive horsepower output, the new Audi A8 4.2 TDI quattro puts itself ahead of all the other diesel-engined cars on the international market. The entirely redeveloped 4.2-litre, eight-cylinder biturbo engine accelerates the lightweight saloon with its aluminium body from 0 to 100 km/h (0 – 62 mph) in just 5.9 seconds. The top speed is electronically restricted to 250 km/h. In addition to these dynamic qualities, the new power plant displays the kind of refinement that sets standards even in the top segment of the motoring world, and ennobles the A8 4.2 TDI quattro, turning it into the perfect long-distance touring saloon.

Luckily DMS offers a kit for 535D, that boasts output up to 344hp, still the torque is smaller(i guess).

Man, I still cant get over the BMW 3.0d output at 204hp, diesel technology really is looking promising!

I've driven the E320CDi and that wasn't slow at all!

I don`t like Merc`s but i`d like to own that one. While overtaking, you lost count, how many you overtook.

that Audi diesel is going to rock!
