With some diesel cars getting into performance leagues of very fast petrol cars - with acceleration times of 0-62mph in under 5 seconds, there's still the issue of a crap exhaust noise. So, can diesel cars ever sound as good or even close to the sound of a V8?

My wife has a twin turbo V8 Diesel in the Cayenne. Sounds great - nice woofle esp. when it starts.. 850nm (more than a P1) and 385bhp. Goes ok too...

626lb/ft of torque. That's insane!
