The closest thing that we have (not available in the US) to a driver's car powered by a diesel engine is the Mercedes SLK 250 CDI. In all honesty, I really thought about buying one but the problem is the weight is the same as the 1M - 1570 kg (1590 kg for the automatic gearbox version) - and it doesn't have a fully defeatable electronic traction/stability control, limited slip differential nor the 1M's ability to be thrown sideways in a sustained fashion. Also, its turn-in isn't particularly sharp as well which is a shame because the numbers are indeed VERY good but the SLK was never intended to be the best driver's car anyway... a real shame

:

204 hp, 500 Nm of torque (the same torque as the 1M when in overboost mode); fuel consumption of 4,9l/100 km, only 128 g/km of CO2 emissions (automatic version); max speed: 243 km/h and 6.7 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h. PERFECT!!!

The 250 SLK CDI is your best bet if you want to enjoy top-down fun with impressive fuel mileage... (now in different units) the emission rate is only 132 grams/4.66 oz of CO2 per km/.62 miles which gives the SLK an impressive 56.5 mpg with 0-62 mph in 6.7 seconds and 151 mph of max. speed.
