  Never heard of this project, and done by Porsche!
  Diesel performance sure has come a long way in 50 years, 1300cc - 23hp - 0-60 in 60 sec. :shock:

  I don't have to. Lister/petter corporation has been building small direct injection air cooled diesels for years. They are often used on generators and on conveyors for gravel and such. They are desirable in some applications because of their simplicity. They don't have a radiator or cooling system, no ignition and a minimal fuel system (unit pump) so there are few things to go wrong. We have a few around the shop and they are indeed loud. They sound like they are going to blow up at any second, but they run like that for years...

• Reminds me of those air cooled Deutz farm tractors that used to be around.
  
  I don't know if they still make them or not

• I doubt I'll go supersonic with any car whatsoever.
