a diesel mustang? hell no .. not gonna happen.

Yes, we couldn’t believe it either when we saw this Mustang parked in a booth outside Hall 3.0 in Frankfurt. Is it possible, a race-ready Mustang equipped with an eco-friendly, 4cylinder, 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that runs on bio-diesel? Yes and it delivers 280 Hp and a maximum torque of 500 Nm or 368.8 lbs/ft. allowing the race car to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5,0 sec and to achieve a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).
