      @@egg0534 English is more important because the americans have a lot of geopolitical influence, but before the beginning of the pax americana age, french was as important as english and it was used a lot more (still is) than it in treaty signings, french was the de facto diplomatic language of the world. Not used as much nowadays but still relevant since french is spoken fluently by 270 million people worldwide and is recognized as an official language in 29 countries making it the 5th most spoken language in the world.

    They have a new engine... It's a register-turbocharged 5l V10 Diesel!
    That ebgine makes
    about 540 hp (okay, a bit less than this one)
    1000Nm of torque already at 1500 RPM!!
    And this Diesel engine consumes way less than this one
    or any other engine above 500hp or above 600Nm.
    This new engine already drives the "Nanuk" prototype, shown on the IAA 2013.
    I hope this engine will be used also for other AUDI cars.
