4.5L Duramax – GTM Supercar
Posted by RyanG in Bio Diesel, Concept Projects, Supercars on November 18, 2008
Okay, if you thought the idea of a lightweight sports car with a big diesel v8 was exciting, consider this. There is a kit car company out there named Factory Five that makes various kit cars. Cobra replicas, hot rods, and perhaps most interestingly, a “build it yourself” super car. Now the GTM super car [...]
4.5L Duramax – Saturn Sky
Posted by RyanG in Bio Diesel, Concept Projects on November 3, 2008
Since the first time I saw the Saturn Sky Roadster I fell in love with it. Though, with my particular passion for diesel I’d love to see one with a diesel motor. Well, in 2010 GM is planning to release a 4.5L V8 Duramax. All of the marketing materials and announcements say that it’s being [...]
