BMW has announced the introduction of a new diesel engine at the 7th International Vienna Motor Symposium. However, this is no ordinary diesel engine as it features an incredible quad-turbo set up.
The 3-litre quad-turbo unit will first arrive in the latest-gen 7 Series, namely the 750d xDrive. It gets two low-pressure and two high-pressure turbos, all together helping the engine develop 394bhp and as much as 760Nm of torque.
The massively torquey engine will be paired to the familiar 8-speed ZF automatic gearbox. Thanks to all that pulling power, the 750d xDrive can accelerate from 0-100kmph in just 4.5 seconds. Following its debut in the 7 Series, BMW is likely to offer this quad-turbo unit in smaller models including the 5 Series.
