8 speed? Really? Lol imagine a btr with 8 gears, you'd never go anywhere cause the box would be always changing gears lol

i don't get the joke?

clearly its done for responce/efficiency purposes.

Bearing in mind it is still a diesel so there are obvious limits on peak KW numbers.

But its that torque figure thats the really impressive there. And to back that up with the fuel efficiency of a 1.6L petrol fiesta manual is a fantastic engineering feat.

tri turbos should be used for power, not efficiency!

This is diesel

[nothin suss]

6.3L per 100kms and 743 Nm are my favorite parts!

Funny though it will still come back on a tow truck as the rest
Of them do. Lol.
And the 8 speed gearboxes are shit clunk like a mother ****er.
What a waste with a tri turbo for effiency and there shit to work on to boot.
