Faster than the Benz, More comfortable, better handling, semi-cult car status.
I'm restoring one with a fuel injection, looks quite exactly the same.

I've had two wagons and a coupe. They are great.
They are not fast, not fast at all. They are just faster than stopped.

Really? The only one I've driven hauled ass! I really dig the w124 body style.

No Glenderwagens here with diesel power unless they were grey market.

Nissan made a Maxima diesel powered? wow.

Volvo 240D boost it and add some propane injection.

No it's a diesel, German Leopard 2

Propulsion


Leopard 2 MTU Engine
The Leopard 2 is propelled by the MTU MB 873 diesel engine, which provides 1,100 kW (1,500 hp). The MTU MB 873 diesel engine is a four-stroke, 47.6 litre, 12-cylinder multi-fuel, exhaust turbo-charged, liquid-cooled engine. The engine is a multi-fueled design, has a fuel consumption that is estimated at around 300 litres per 100 km on roads and 500 litres per 100 km across country, and is coupled to the Renk HSWL 354 gear and brake system.[6][14] The Renk HSWL 354 transmission has 4 forward, 2 reverse gears with a torque converter and is completely automatic, with the driver selecting the range.[6] The Leopard 2 has 4 fuel tanks, which have a total capacity of approximately 1,160 litres, giving a maximum road range of about 500 km.[6] Together, the propulsion pack is capable of driving the Leopard 2 to a top road speed of 68 km/h (which is limited to 50 km/h during peacetime), and top reverse is 31 km/h.[6] The power pack can be changed in the field in 15 minutes.[6] The engine and transmission is separated from the crew compartment through a fireproof bulkhead.[14] An enhanced version of the EuroPowerPack, with a 1,210 kW (1,650 hp) MTU MT883 engine has also been trialled by the Leopard 2.[14]
The Leopard 2 has a torsion bar suspension, and has advanced friction dampers. The running gear consists of seven dual rubber-tyred road wheels and four return rollers per side, with the idler wheel at the front and drive sprocket at the rear.[6] The tracks are Diehl 570F tracks, with rubber-bashed end connectors, which have removable rubber pads and use 82 links on each track. For use in icy ground, up to 18 rubber pads can be replaced by the same number of grousers, which are stored in the vehicle's bow when not in use.[6] The upper part of the tracks are covered with side skirts, with the first two road wheels and idler covered by an armoured skirt.[12]
The Leopard 2 can drive through water 4 meters (13 ft) deep using a snorkel or 1.2 meters (3 ft 11 in) without any preparation and climb vertical obstacles over one metre high.
