wow. poor alex is going to sell his Cayman S soon.

 

****!!

 

Hmm... similar concept to the BMW X5 with the lemans v12 in it... wicked!

 

It's sounds very interesting!
Probably a Cayenne TT-TTS contender

 

actually, the engine in this new Q7 is not the same one that was in the R10 race cars. It is based on existing 3.0L diesel engine but uses a lot of the new tech developed for the R10. Piezo injection for example (2000bar!!) is a great new tech just making it into diesels now. Piezo injectors are fast enough to inject seveal variable size "bursts" of fuel during a single cycle to rate shape the fuel charge for precisely controlled burn giving optimum power and minimum emisions.

This vehicle is actually a production model (unlike the X5 LeMans) look to see the Q7 V12 on the streets (depending on where you live) soon!

 

 

+1

 

Oh thank God, i can finally keep my a4 for more than 6 months

 

we'll see... ...let the bug stay....

 

From what I have read it doesn't appear that this model will make it to the U.S. in the near future

 

Thats just sick! I drove the VW Touareg with the V10 TDI and was very impressed. I can't even begin to imagine what a beast this is going to be. A friend of mine from Audi mentioned that they were going to bring Audi TDI's into the States starting in 08 with the VW TDI's again. I hope this is in the lineup!

 

it still looks very ugly..imo

 

Do you think it has enough torque to pull my trailer? LOL.

 

yes and it'll pull your house down too
