More recently, AVL List, a leading European engine design company, has designed a three cylinder diesel engine with a magnesium block weighing 14kg. This has been fitted into a Volkswagen Lupo and is currently being road tested in and around Graz, Austria. The magnesium engine block could soon become as common as alloy wheels in the list of desirable attributes for new vehicles.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">

Is this what you mean?

That may be it ... thanks for the find. I think there be another one out there b/c I think I read about a 6 cylinder petrol Magnesium block engine. It might have been BMW but I doubt it since it would have gotten better press if it were the bavarians

RU, come to think of it, I think I read the same thing about BMW.... if you get Road & Track, check that out.... that is about all I read, and I think it was about 3-4 issues ago.
