OK - I'm wrong. I just had a look at the specs on VWVortex. Sounds like an awesome drive.
  I don't know if maybe the earlier diesel rally car was based on the 4cyl TDI.

Naaah, I'm pretty sure that the VW Motorsport TDI's are 5 Cyls.
I was bench racing with my buddy who works at a dealership, and I mentioned 
buying a 5 door, silver TDI Flood car to make it into a 'replica-racer'. The 
first thing out of his mouth was- but where you gonna get the 5 cyl for it?

I'm pretty sure I saw it on http://www.vwvortex.com too...
