SLK 230
They have left it open
Good article but interesting it states:
Leopold Mukulic, the man in charge of Benz's engine development, said that the Tri-Turbo engine was a breakthrough in diesel performance. He added, "We're confident about its ability in a production environment, but the cost of assembly is extremely high." While the cost prohibits the Tri-Turbo engine from being mass produced, at least for now, it doesn't rule out a limited or specialty run.
Let's hope so hey!
