" Volkswagen's D1 luxury saloon will be the first mainstream production model to feature a V10 diesel under the bonnet, it has been confirmed.
A 5.0-litre oil-burner will be optional when the car goes on sale in Germany next year and here in 2002.

The 0-60mph sprint time should be 5.5 seconds and the top speed 155mph." http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/DougR8/front_flash_ie.html
