Torque and diesels

Ford's Dagenham plant to the east of London manufactures a four cylinder 2.2l diesel engine that generates 310 (330 with transient overboost) ft lb of torque. This engine sips fuel and pulls like a train! In the Mondeo, it gives a top speed of 143mph. The problem? Its expensive, and for this reason it'll probably never be available in the US. Achieving 2k bar (c. 30k psi) in the common rail is an engineering feat and doesn't come cheap. In Europe, fuel is expensive so it works out cheaper in the long run. Also, these engines last forever....
