Yeah, Its got a HEMI! Believe it or not, it was early experimentation with hemispherical head tank engines like this that started Chryslers legacy of the HEMI engine. In stock form, this engine was rated at 810 horsepower on 80 octane gasoline.
With its giant air horns, the Patton sounds like a diesel train. Actually, everybody thinks it is a diesel. One hot-rod magazine ran a photo of the car with a caption that read, "Diesel!" Believe me, it has a gasoline engine. Before we modified it, the car ran just fine on regular. Now, I fill it with premium, even though we're limiting the turbos to only 6 psi of boost. We're kicking around the idea of cranking up that boost to see if we can get another couple of hundred horsepower out of it.
I don't think the Megane is a diesel. I'm pretty sure the only diesel is the 120d. I did some research on this a while back, 'cause I was looking for more diesel cars.
We can simplify this by saying that the BMW 120d is the one and only diesel engined car in the game.
That's why it received so much publicity before the game's release, as (if I recall correctly) it is the first diesel-engined car to be in a Gran Turismo game.
Any thirty-litre engine behaves 'like a diesel', as it produces waves of torque at extremely low revs and not as much power as you might expect, hence Jay Leno's 'Tank Car's characteristics, but it is also a petrol-fuelled engine. Although I didn't know where it came from until now 👍
Of course i meant the 120d.
