The diesel also came out as a manual. From 04, the diesel had a 6 speed manual with 150kw (201hp) power and 480nm (354lb ft) torque. This can then be "chipped up" to 180kw (241hp) and 560nm (413lb ft) about a 20% gain. This is more grunt (torque) than the 4.4L V8. All this and delivering a fuel economy of approximately 7.5L per 100km (32mpg US). The acceleration from 100kph (62mph) to 140kph (87mph) is astounding, and is great for passing.
