Re: air-cooled diesel 911, anyone?

Anyone knowledgeable in diesel engines would like to comment on this?
I like the idea, but it may be a long wait.

Not with the Audi R10 TDI giving Porsche all they can handle at ALMS events. After losing numerous races throughout the world to the Audi's, the Spyder teams are complaining of being "victimized" by rule bias aimed at favoring the diesel Audis.

In today's feminized world, even a great company like Porsche feels the urge to get caught up in post modernism.
