Audi Diesel Wins Twelve Hours of Sebring Race (#)

„I don't think it's the same customer though. I think the person buying a diesel GC has more in common with those who buy diesel cars. And those customers I would argue do not have torque at the top of the list. The Jetta TDI definitely does not fit in that category or the Benz's either for that matter.“
