I get the idea that Lamborghini has been testing a V10 diesel in the Gallardo. I'm not sure that it's appropriate - there's still some applications best left to petrol power. Supercars is one. If nothing else, diesel engines are very heavy.

And who wants a supercar where you have to change up at 4000rpm?
