Corrected entry: Brian compares Shaw's cars to "something you'd hear at Le Mans, a turbo diesel." However, a turbo-diesel is simply a turbocharged diesel engine, fairly popular (and common) in Europe like its non-charged counterpart, due to much better gas mileage and lower price of diesel fuel. On the other hand, WEC (World endurance championship, under which Le Mans 24 belongs) allows lot of variability in engine design. TDI engine was only used by Audi teams and for a short time, by Peugeot. Others used petrol turbo or NA engines.

Correction: Even according to the wording of this mistake, Brian is technically correct. What's more, of the preceding 7 years to this movie, Audi won Le Mans 6 times with turbo diesel engines, so it's not strange to put some focus on that.
