Maybe not the power, but maximum torque kicks in very early on the power/torque curve which gives you that pick up and feeling of power. Also, the modern diesel turbos have almost no lag and the twin turbos even better with low and high pressure turbos.

peastman 28th Jun, 2012 #24 That would be interesting, a V6 diesel clubman. No traction control so tyres would spin a bit.
