The flying Bio Beast

Does 5.9 cummins with ht custom turbo, diesel dynamics injectors, sheid cam, industrial injection cp3 pump, turbonetics intercooler make you curious?? Does a third place finish in the SCORE 2006 Baja 1000 in November of 2006 speaks for itself?? Loren Worthington and his Bio-diesel Dodge Ram 2500 participated and showed in many other races also that bio diesel, perfomance engines and motorsport fit together. This truck is for sale.

Audi improves the clean diesel breed

Over the last two decades, Audi has been particularly active in motorsports, first in rallying- where its Quattro all wheel drive was spawned – and later on race tracks – where it debuted gasoline direct injection on the R8. Most recently, the R10 and the R15 have taken diesel technology to new heights with three consecutive wins at Le Mans.

Audi’s now using that racing success to boost its first U.S. clean diesel vehicle, the Q7 TDI, which is finally going on sale about now. Last fall, in the cross country Mileage Marathon, the 50-state legal Q7s averaged about 29 mpg, far more than any of the big hybrid SUVs can manage. Yes, diesel contains more carbon than gasoline but the 30 percent improvement in efficiency far outweighs the extra carbon content and still yields about a 25 percent cut in CO2 emissions. While even clean diesels also produce more NOx than current gasoline engines, they are a huge improvement over they were and the particulate filters like those used on the race cars eliminate the soot.

Peugeot Bringing Diesel Hybrid to 2009 Le Mans Race

Peugeot intends to race a diesel hybrid version of its 908 prototype at this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans. Jean-Philippe Collin, the French automaker’s new CEO, revealed the plans in an interview with L-Equipe, revealing that the vehicle could see competition as early as November 2008 at the ACO 1,000km challenge in Shanghai. We predict success for the first diesel electric hybrid racecar, it’ll be able to combine the excellent fuel economy and torque characteristics of both diesels and hybrids and would be positioned to take advantage of any future rule changes that benefit hybrid technology. F1, for example, is actively working to bring power added by regenerative braking to the sport.
