It´s a Diesel but it is smoking way too much. Not a good sign for a new car...

All diesels blow black smoke when they're making power, unless they're fitted with particulate filters. I also wonder if they're using the same 5.5 liter V12 twin turbo they developed for sports car racing. That engine made mongo power.

I believe the rules of Dakar state no trailing smoke allowed.
