I saw the Bentleys this summer at the Nurburgring. They are based on the Audi's I believe and they were incredibly quiet as well as being reallllllly fast.

Edit: Did not notice the TDI sticker. My bad-- the Bentley's were still really quiet.

You wont see any unless the collectors or what ever they are using for filters fail.

I'm hoping to make the 12 hours in March.

They run ultra-clean fuel and very sophisticated ECUs and high pressure injectors. A big reason they're quieter is that they make HP with very low revs. Like about 5000rpm. A big problem for the diesel-powered cars is transaxle gearset longevity. Gas engines make big hp but very low torque at double the engine speed.
