It’s difficult to pin down exactly what we like about the DB11, but if we had to pick one thing, it would be all the car’s clever aerodynamic elements. The strake just about the front wheel arches relieves the high-pressure air pocket there, reducing front-end lift. At the rear, the AeroBlade virtual spoiler through intakes at the base of the C-pillars and venting it out over the rear deck.

Also atypical of a diesel is the BMW ALPINA XD3 Bi-Turbo’s high horsepower to engine displacement ratio (117bhp per litre), a product of Alpina’s engineering wizardry, utilising such techniques as optimised air intakes and cooling solutions.

What’s unique to this particular Bentayga is its engine. Specifically, a triple-charged 4-litre V8 that uses a pair of sequential turbochargers in conjunction with an electrically powered “supercharger” for lag-free performance. The Bentley Bentayga Diesel is conclusive proof that ultra-luxury and diesel power can very happily co-exist.

The Huracan is the follow-up to the Gallardo, the best-selling Lamborghini of all time. The second ‘baby Lambo’ rolls in with more power, less weight and stunning angular design informed by its bigger brother, the Aventador. The Huracan is just as dramatic on the inside, thanks to a cockpit festooned with switches reminiscent of a jet fighter’s controls.

A 3-litre turbo-diesel provides the Maserati Levante Diesel up to 600Nm from 2,000rpm and a zero to 100km/hr time of 6.9 seconds. That engine paired to a silky eight-speed automatic transmission, which is appropriate, owing to the silkiness of the diesel powerplant. Gone are the days of smoky, rattly diesels.

Like all Ghiblis before it, the third-generation model is rather capable when the roads get twisty. Its twin-turbocharged 3-litre V6 engine develops 350bhp and is mounted well behind the front axle for better weight distribution. It is, for all intents and purposes, like a mid-engined supercar.

No matter the terrain, the Range Rover Sport Diesel delivers imperiousness. That’s helped along by the monster pulling power of its diesel engine that delivers peak torque of 700Nm and thanks to the low-rev punch of a diesel powerplant, you can be spared engine histrionics when charging hard.
