The best diesel cars with acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h.
Diesel cars have actually earned a reputation for being not very fast sprinters when starting from traffic lights. But nevertheless, in today's modern car market you can still find cars with diesel engines, driving which you will not be ashamed to compete with many cars starting abruptly from a traffic light. Dear readers, friends, we have chosen the best of them for you. We will start with good diesel sprinters, and end with very fast car models that can safely and without exaggeration be called “diesel rockets”.
15) Jaguar XJ 3.0 V6 Diesel
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h: -6.2 seconds.
The most powerful production gasoline Jaguar currently is the 575-horsepower F-Type. This car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds.
The fastest diesel car model of the Jaguar brand is the 3.0-liter XJ car model with a power of 300 hp. Acceleration from zero to hundreds is 6.2 seconds.
TOP 5 fastest production cars of 2020
Speed is a drug.
Perhaps everyone who has ever driven a fast car will agree with this statement. In this review, we present to your attention the five fastest production cars in the world that are being produced in 2020. True, not every one of them will be able to be purchased, because, as is usual in such cases, such cars are produced in limited editions and are sold out on pre-orders long before the official premiere. V place: Ferrari LaFerrari
Maximum speed: 350 km/h
Acceleration 0–100 km/h: 3.0 s
Opens the list of the fastest Ferrari LaFerrari cars. This car is far from new; it debuted in 2013 and has not yet been discontinued: several dozen cars are produced per year within the stated total circulation of 499 copies.
LaFerrari is a hybrid: the power plant, consisting of a V12 6.3 naturally aspirated petrol unit and an auxiliary electric motor implanted into the transmission, develops a total of 963 hp. and over 900 Nm.
With a curb weight of 1350 kg, this is enough to reach 350 km/h, and accelerate to the first “hundred” in 3 seconds.
IV place: Pagani Huayra BC
Maximum speed: over 350 km/h
Acceleration 0–100 km/h: 3.0 s
Huayra is read as “Wayra” - the car is named after the Indian god Huayra Tata, who controls all the winds in the Andes. Shown in the spring of 2016 in Geneva, the Huayra BC is a lightweight and souped-up version of the Huayra, which will be produced in a meager edition of 20 copies.
The six-liter twin-turbo V12 engine from the Mercedes-AMG division now develops 800 hp. – against 730 hp at the base machine. And thanks to the reduction in the weight of many body elements, the use of a titanium exhaust system and other tricks, the curb weight was reduced from 1350 to 1218 kg.
The result? The Pagani Huayra BC accelerates to 100 km/h in 3 seconds, and the top speed exceeds 350 km/h.
3rd place: Lamborghini Centenario
Maximum speed – over 350 km/h
Acceleration 0–100 km/h: 2.8 s
The Lamborghini Centenario supercar, which debuted at the 2020 Geneva Motor Show, is a collector's item: the car was created on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the brand's founder Ferruccio Lamborghini and will be produced in coupe and roadster versions, 20 copies each. And they were all sold out before the premiere!
The car is built on the basis of the flagship Aventador model, but has a completely original body design. And in the engine compartment there is an improved V12 6.5 engine from the Aventador with an increase to 770 hp. power.
Interestingly, the Centenario is no faster than the Aventador in terms of dynamics: 2.8 seconds to 100 km/h and a top speed of “over 350 km/h”. The car reaches a speed of 300 km/h in 23.5 seconds.
2nd place : Koenigsegg Regera
Maximum speed – over 400 km/h
Acceleration 0–100 km/h: 2.8 s
The debut of the Koenigsegg Regera took place in the spring of 2020 at the Geneva Motor Show: then the car was shown in prototype status. Exactly a year passed - and there in Geneva the serial version was revealed to the world.
According to the latest fashion, which has already reached supercars, the Koenigsegg Regera is equipped with a hybrid power plant. Behind the seats are a five-liter V8 petrol turbo engine and three electric motors: two on the axle shafts and another on the flywheel. The side electric motors develop 180 kW each, the central one – 160 kW, and the internal combustion engine – 1115 hp. Total output – 1500 hp. and 2000 Nm.
The acceleration figures are read with aspiration: the car needs only 2.8 seconds to reach 100 km/h, it accelerates to 200 km/h in 6.6 seconds, and to 300 km/h in 10.9 seconds.
And - here it is, the apotheosis! — Regera reaches speeds of 400 km/h in just 20 seconds. For comparison: an average C-class sedan with an engine of one and a half hundred horsepower will barely get close to 150 km/h during this time.
14) VW Passat 2.0 TDI 4Motion DSG
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h: -6.1 seconds.
In our rating today there is only one diesel car with which you will not be ashamed to take off from a stop at a traffic light. We are talking about a VW Passat car model with a power of 240 hp. The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds.
Mitsubishi Lancer X and Outlander XL
Two Mitsubishi models look good in the ranking. These are the Lancer X passenger car and the Outlander XL crossover. Both cars have the same 1.5- and 1.8-liter engines, which after 4 years of operation require replacement of the oil rings. However, overall these are very reliable cars with few breakdowns. Both are in demand on the secondary market. Outlander was checked more than 11 thousand times in three months, and Lancer - 31 thousand times.

Of the 20 Lancers, only 4 were sold clean. The most common problem is road accidents. Of the 20 selected cars, 13 were damaged in accidents, and 5 out of 20 ended up with a duplicate title. Three Lancers had large unpaid fines.
The Outlander XL is less popular aftermarket. It was checked 11 thousand times. Only 4 crossovers in a sample of 20 cars turned out to have no problems. Exactly half went through unscheduled repairs, and 5 out of 20 were involved in an accident. 4 cars had unpaid fines (up to 18 thousand rubles), incorrect mileage and a duplicate title. Two crossovers had restrictions on registration with the traffic police.

]
The new Mercedes E-Class E350 d takes only 5.9 seconds to reach 100 km/h. This is the most powerful diesel model of the Mercedes E-Class with 258 hp.
It is worth immediately noting here that the same power unit is also installed on many other Mercedes cars. But in terms of the acceleration dynamics of this E350 d E-Class diesel sedan, it can be considered the fastest car of all other models.
12) Porsche Cayenne S Diesel
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h: -5.4 seconds.
You probably think that Porsche Cayenne S SUVs can only be fast if they have a gasoline turbo unit installed under the hood? You friends are wrong. For example, here is a diesel crossover Porsche Cayenne S with a power of 382 hp. (V8 engine), it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.4 seconds. Fans and connoisseurs of this Porsche brand also know that there is also a more powerful diesel car in the model line of this company. We certainly haven't forgotten about him. More on this below.
11) BMW X3 xDrive35d
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h: -5.3 seconds.
This is 0.1 seconds faster than the Cayenne S crossover. This diesel 313-horsepower model of the BMW X3, equipped with a six-cylinder diesel engine, can accelerate. I must say this is an amazing result. Do you know, friends, which car has the same acceleration dynamics from zero to 100 km/h? No? We answer. For example, the Nissan 370Z car model.
10) BMW 640d xDrive Gran Coupe
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h: -5.2 seconds.
Despite the fact that the engine in this car has the digital designations 40d and 35d, which by the way is also installed on the 313-horsepower diesel BMW X3, this model of the 640d Gran Coupe can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h faster than this car -crossover for 0.1 seconds. That is, it accelerates in 5.2 seconds.

Volkswagen Jetta Mk6 and Skoda Octavia A5
Both cars are most popular with naturally aspirated 1.6 MPI engines and Aisin automatic transmissions. Engines sometimes have stuck piston rings, and the problem unit in a Japanese gearbox is the valve body. At the same time, both cars drive 150-200 thousand almost without problems. But there are difficulties of a different nature.
The Jetta was checked almost 13.5 thousand times in three months. When analyzing reports from the database, it turned out that only 3 out of 20 machines did not have technical or legal problems. Others are full of pitfalls.

One had five problems at once: two accidents, repair work, a duplicate vehicle title, traffic police restrictions and unpaid fines. 7 out of 20 ended up after an accident. Four cars had restrictions on registration with the traffic police. Two had copies of the title, and one was listed as leasing and collateral. One copy was found after a taxi.
Skoda Octavia is less in demand on the secondary market. It has been checked 951 times. Only 5 cars out of 20 turned out to be problem-free. Half of the Octavias were repaired, five were in accidents, and four ended up with a duplicate title. Traffic police restrictions were imposed on two cars; they also had a twisted mileage. One car out of 20 worked as a taxi and was still listed on lease.
In general, the vast majority of cars sold on the secondary market end up with problems.
A duplicate PTS brings to mind thoughts of fraudulent withdrawals involving the sale of credit or leasing cars. After selling them, banks often seize cars from the new owners. Incorrect mileage and road accidents do not seem too scary against the backdrop of such fraudulent offers. Skoda Octavia. Photo: Shutterstock.com
9) BMW X6 M50d
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h: -5.2 seconds.
The BMW X6 diesel car has a 3.0-liter diesel engine producing 381 hp. By the way, this is basically the same engine that is installed on the 35d and 40D models. But this 50d engine allows this crossover (which, by the way, is heavier than the X3 and 640d Gran Coupe models) to accelerate to 100 km/h in just 5.2 seconds.
But the BMW model also has a more powerful 50d engine, which is already installed on the 7 Series of cars. More about her a little later.
The diesel unit vibrates, makes noise, takes a long time to warm up and accelerates the car slowly
The firmly ingrained habit in people's minds of associating all diesel engines with heavy or agricultural machinery is now a relic of the past. As for noise and vibrations, the “tractor” effect on modern diesel cars is completely absent. Moreover, European tests and measurements revealed the fact that modern diesel engines turned out to be 5-6 dB quieter than their gasoline counterparts in different operating modes.
One has to come to terms with the fact of weak diesel engine heating at low loads, but a high-quality solution has long been found to solve this problem. An additional electric heater is standardly installed in diesel cars, so the diesel is not afraid of icy windows and a cold interior in winter. Such heaters are also found on small-volume gasoline runabouts with a displacement of about 1.0 and 1.2 liters, which have gained enormous popularity over the past 5 years. Does the owner care where the heat in the cabin comes from? The main thing is that it is warm!
The acceleration characteristics of a modern diesel engine are quite enough to compete well with gasoline engines. The difference in acceleration is no more than 0.5 or 1 second. Have you heard about the triumph of the diesel Audi R10 in the Le Mans race? It was back in 2006!
Modern civilian diesel is inferior in power density to gasoline, but the torque of diesel is much higher. In urban “start-stop” modes from traffic light to traffic light, diesel turns out to be much more dynamic, because the engine has hurricane thrust at low speeds compared to gasoline. A common mistake that beginners make when getting acquainted with a diesel engine is the driving style is similar to a gasoline unit and the habit of turning the engine to high speeds, constantly going beyond the peak torque.
Audi A5 Coupe 3.0 TDI Quattro
Audi A5 Coupe 3.0 TDI QuattroAcceleration from 0 to 100 km/h: -5.2 seconds.
As you can see, friends, BMW diesel cars are well represented in our rating today. But BMW cars have quite a few competitors. For example, the Audi A5 coupe, which is also equipped with a 3.0-liter TDI diesel engine. From 0 to 100 km/h the car can accelerate in just 5.2 seconds.
Top 5 fastest diesel cars 2020
Those who call diesel cars slow and agricultural don't know what they're talking about
Those who call diesel cars slow and agricultural don't know what they're talking about. A quick look at the market offerings from automakers that traditionally know how to make diesels shows that in 2020 you can buy a couple of very fast "smoking and rattling" cars.
Since cars with diesel engines are especially popular in Europe, automakers have made special versions exclusively for this market. As you might expect, we are talking about premium brands that are interested in fast diesels, as well as fast gasolines. And we're not at all surprised that there are only two German brands in the top 5 fastest diesel models.
Other brands were also supposed to be on the list, but they failed to make it into the top 5. We should note that what is presented here is not so much the most powerful, but rather the fastest cars, accelerating to 100 km/h in figures that are not at all typical for a diesel engine.
As you may have guessed, two brands that pay special attention to diesel engines are Audi and BMW. Four of the five high-power diesel engines are 3-liter 6-cylinder units, and only one is a 4.2-liter V8. Cars with any form of aftermarket tuning were deliberately excluded from the list, so we won't see Alpina products here.
BMW 740d xDrive. Acceleration to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds. The first BMW on our list is the most powerful diesel version of the 7 Series. The flagship sedan is equipped with a 3-liter 6-cylinder unit with two turbines and direct injection producing 320 hp. With. The maximum torque of 680 Nm is achieved between 1,750 and 2,250 rpm.
Obviously, the engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and proprietary xDrive all-wheel drive. Believe it or not, combined fuel economy is 5.3L/100km. In terms of performance, it is slightly inferior to its main competitor from Audi, which will also appear on our list, but the BMW is more economical and demonstrates almost similar performance with a smaller volume and number of cylinders.
Audi SQ5 TDI Competition. Acceleration to 100 km/h in 5.1 s. The first and only crossover on our list. Let's try to understand its marketing name: before us is the S version of the Audi Q5 with a 3-liter V6 TDI. This block produces 326 hp. With. in the range from 4,000 to 4,500 rpm and 650 Nm in the range from 1,400 to 2,800 rpm. These two gaps are quite generous, and car owners are well aware of what to expect from this bad crossover.
7) BMW M550d Touring xDrive
Acceleration from 0 - 100 km/h: -4.9 seconds.
And again, once again, the BMW car brand appears in our rating. This time it is presented in the Touring body. We are talking, friends, about the M550d car with a power of 381 hp. This car is equipped with the same engine that powers the BMW X6 M50d crossover car. But the M550d is 200 kilograms lighter than its SUV predecessor. Therefore, we can say that the sprint is up to hundreds of kilometers. hour this passenger station wagon has an advantage. Thus, the BMW M550d Touring xDrive accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds.
Can you imagine, friends, this diesel crazy BMW is faster than the stunning and famous Porsche 718 Cayman.(?)
6) Audi A6 3.0 TDI Quattro Tiptronic
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h: -4.9 seconds.
Here is one of the most powerful six-cylinder diesel cars from Ingolstadt. We are talking about the Audi A6 car model, as well as the A6 Avant station wagon. The same engine is installed on the A7 Sportback. These cars are equipped with 3.0-liter diesel engines producing 326 hp.
The fastest of these three models is the A6 sedan. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds.
Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+
Maximum speed: 490.48 km/h. Base price: $3.9 million Number of units: 30
In August 2020, Andy Wallace, a professional racing driver, reached top speed in a pre-production prototype of the Chiron Super Sport 300+.
The car is powered by a W16 engine producing 1,578 hp. with four-cylinder turbocharging. Unlike the standard Bugatti Chiron, it has an increased top speed, an improved gearbox with longer ratios, and a special paint scheme with carbon fiber bodywork.
Both front and rear bumpers have been optimized for high-speed aerodynamics, increasing the overall vehicle length by 9.8 inches.
For safety reasons, the vehicle's top speed is electronically limited to 261 mph (420 km/h). However, the company will also customize the car for owners who want to test it to its full potential on the Ehra-Lessien circuit.
The company will produce 30 units, with deliveries likely to begin in mid-2021.
5) Audi SQ7 TDI
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h: -4.8 seconds.
Of course, it has something else to offer fans of powerful diesel cars. For example, the SQ7 model car, which is equipped with an eight-cylinder 4.0-liter diesel engine with an electric turbocharger. The power of this engine is 435 hp. It is worth noting here that this is currently the most powerful of all diesel engines on the production car market. This motor is capable of accelerating you and your car to 100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds.

3) Audi A8 4.2 TDI
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h: -4.7 seconds.
The flagship Audi A8 sedan, in addition to powerful gasoline engines, is also equipped with one of the stunning engines with a power of 385 hp. This is the same power unit that can be found today on the diesel auto-crossover model SQ7 TDI. But even though the Audi A8 diesel has less horsepower than the same SQ7 diesel SUV, this flagship sedan is still a little faster. This became possible due to the fact that the A8 model is 200 kilograms lighter than the crossover itself. Consequently, the dynamics of acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h for this car model have become faster. Thus, the diesel 385-horsepower Audi A8 accelerates to a speed of 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds.
The 5 most expensive and fastest diesel cars in Russia have been identified
A rating has been compiled of the fastest and most expensive models with diesel units, which, in addition to being powerful, consume less fuel than gasoline versions. The leader was a model from a German manufacturer.
The BMW M550D XDRIVE is the fastest diesel model not only in our country, but also in the world in general, oh.

2) BMW 750D xDrive
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h: -4.6 seconds.
The engine installed in the BMW 750d diesel car has already been mentioned in our rating when we talked about the X6 M50d crossover with a power of 381 hp. But this 750d car model with the same power unit already has a power of 400 hp. and can accelerate you to 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds.
Second place
The car that took second place in our “diesel” rating costs as much as 164,000 more. So, the second most popular among Russian motorists is the Citroen C4, worth 1,150,000 rubles. But in this car, the price already includes an air conditioning system, all the necessary airbags, and a number of auxiliary systems for trouble-free driving.
The power unit in the Citroen C4 is a 1.6-liter 115-horsepower turbodiesel engine. The declared fuel consumption is indicated as 5 liters per 100 kilometers, but according to user data, the real figure is 6–6.5 liters per 100 kilometers.
1) Porsche Panamera 4S Diesel
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h: -4.5 seconds.
The king of sprint cars among diesel production models today is the Porsche Panamera 4S Diesel with 422 hp. This car is equipped with a V8 diesel engine, which is capable of sending this sports car straight into the stratosphere, thus accelerating it to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds.
Amazing and stunning model. Just think, friends. The four-door model of the Porsche brand is faster than the Porsche 911 Carrera itself!
