Audi has announced that the Q7 is about to become the world's most powerful production diesel car, with what it claims is the first twelve-cylinder diesel engine in a passenger car.
5934cc, 60º V12 engine gushing out 496 PS at 4000 revs and 1000Nm (!!!!!!) from 1750 to 3000rpm. I am not talking about a truck here but about Audi's Q7 monster. Audi quotes a 0-100km/h sprint of 5.5sec and an electronically governed top speed of 250 km/h. Good its electronically governed, imagine letting the beast loose on the road. Damm, 1000Nm of torque....
The company claims a combined fuel consumption of 8.4 kms to a litre (not bad at all) by using piezo-electronic direct fuel-injection on a common rail system that operates at up to 2000 bar.
The power is transmitted via a six-speed semi-automatic transmission with manual sequential shift to a quattro permanent four-wheel drive system with a 40-60 torque split.
Audi has started selling the Q7 here in India for around at a little over 60 lakhs but dont jump right now because thats with the smaller engines and it seems that this 6.0 L mill wont be coming to our shores in the near future (or ever?? ...)
Feast your eye balls on the pictures.
The 6.0 L diesel, good for almost 500 PS and 1000Nm of torque
The special underbody panels look great. This is what shocked people would be seeing when this creature will race past them
