Audi is taking TDI technology to a whole new level with the Audi Q7 V12 TDI quattro, the most powerful diesel-powered passenger vehicle in its class. The V12 engine under the hood generates 368 kW (500 hp) of power and 1,000 Nm (757.56 lb-ft) of torque from six liters of displacement, enabling the big SUV to perform like a sportscar. The new Audi Q7 V12 TDI quattro represents a combination of superior power and efficient fuel consumption, an Audi hallmark. With its sporty chassis, modified body and exclusive equipment, the Audi Q7 V12 TDI quattro is the consummate high-performance SUV. quattro GmbH, a wholly owned Audi subsidiary, is responsible for production and development of the vehicle. Series production of the Audi Q7 V12 TDI will begin this year.
Hate the vehicle, but that fuel economy is more than impressive!
Hell, my Saab gets worse mileage than this beast.
All fellow members of the Roman senate hear me. Shall we continue to build palace after palace for the rich? Or shall we aspire to a more noble purpose and build decent housing for the poor? How does the senate vote?
Something I originally did not understand...BUT...in europe, brakes are sized according to the minimum wheel which could be used to house them - ie...the minimum wheel size would be 20".
Same reason cars like the Ford Focus in Europe have 14" brakes etc.
You can get an 8.1-liter (V8) in the big GM trucks/SUVs.
I don't think you can anymore. I believe the option was dropped with the introduction of the new style HD trucks.
But I know they used to have them because I had a 8.1 Liter V8 work truck once. It was a terrible excuse for an automobile. 10MPG in the absolute BEST of situations. It also only made 340hp and 455lb-ft of torque.
Audi has been impressing more and more. Their designs are all awesome. The A5, the new A4 comin out, R8, The new A6/Avant, now this! to Audi. Watch out BMW.
You only get excess performance, this will be more fuel efficient than any Q7 sold in the US currently. The fuel economy isn't all that much worse than with the V6 TDI.

This place is is insane - the biggest complaint I hear in the Car Lounge is that VW's are too expensive when loaded up with options and yet when they want to decontent and lower the price, the complaints get even louder. You can't have it both ways.
