A while ago I noticed reports of a Ferrari diesel Le Mans racer, code named 250 DTO, but as this came out in the spring, I put it down to an April Fools hoax.
However, the latest FOC (GB) publication has a report on the development of this vehicle. Ferrari engineers have taken an Alfa 2.4 diesel engine and tuned it to 400 BHP, it's painted green and sponsored by Philippo Bierro, so maybe it can run on olive oil too.
Audi have managed a cleansweep of Le Mans for the last few yrs with their R10 TDi, so why not Ferrari, it might keep the environmental lobby happy.
Should Ferrari make diesel versions of their road cars, and if they did would you buy one?
Personally, if I wanted a rosso diesel, I'd buy a Massey Ferguson
