Did you know Porsche designed an air-cooled flat 4 diesel for the Beetle back in the early 50's? Apparently it used the same crankcase as the Porsche 356...

I am on a bit of a Tatra binge at the moment, it seems they developed an air-cooled flat-4 for their Tatraplan model, it is just like a fancy Volkswagen!

Oh and Tatra have just released the first air-cooled diesel engine that meets the stringent Euro 5 emission limits
