Type R Diesel?

Looks like the Honda Civic Type R could be in line for the Japanese manufacturers’ 2.2-liter diesel engine within the next few years, according to Autocar.
With the oil burner churning out 320 lb/ft of torque in comparison to 142 in the current 2.0-liter petrol spec car, the diesel could (read: should) be significantly faster both top-end and through the power bands.
Powerful, stupidly fast and economical?
