Audi is considering adding more engine configurations for its S-model vehicles in the future, including more turbocharged and diesel engines.

"The next generation of the S6 could get a diesel," said Kirstin Englhardt, project manager for the new Audi S6.

Seems like diesel turbo'd cars are the future... It would be great to see it in production in the S6.

If you look at the trends, the future are multi-turbocharged engines (diesel & petrol) & dual-clutch transmissions. And petrol/diesel - electric hybrids.

The s Logo will lost much prestige.

The next generation of S6? Hasn't the current one only just come out?

Nevertheless, the way I hear that the Audi R10 LeMans diesel racer is going, diesel may yet have its time in the sun, even in a sports car (or, more accurately, if it's Audi 'S' range, luxury sports). I say, I'm all for it.

Yes, diesel performance cars are the reality - soon.

Audi are diesel-ing the S-line.

BMW have also registred the "sd" trademark - for performance diesel vehicles.

MB has showed some concepts: SLK with tri-turbo diesel, and SL with V8 diesel.

I really think its a bad idea....when I think of S and RS cars I think of free-revving naturally aspirited cars that don't sound like a freakin truck.

If car makers can make powerful turbodiesel engines as light as their petrol counterparts and able to produce meaningful urge at 5500 rpm before hitting the limit of the rev range, then diesels will be on their way to becoming sporting engines of note. Pity the poor manual transmissions that will need to cope with all of that torque mind you...

...oh but wait, manual transmissions are no longer mandatory inclusions in modern sporting automobiles. [:sigh:]
