All torque
The new Audi Q7 V12 TDI quattro doesn’t just break the SUV mould – it completely obliterates it. With its 6.0-litre V12 TDI engine, it packs a massive punch unrivalled by any other SUV in its class. In fact, this ultra high-performance vehicle SUV is built by Audi’s Quattro GmbH division, alongside the renowned RS models – a deserved beginning for one of the most powerful diesel-powered SUV’s in the world.
Its power
The 6.0-litre V12 TDI produces figures that are close to unbelievable. It develops an impressive 500 PS and a staggering 1,000Nm of torque, giving it an extraordinary power flow that begs to be realized. Top speed is electronically limited to 155mph, but press the accelerator pedal and reach 0-62 in a sports car-rivalling 5.5 seconds. Simply put, it’s fast. And incredibly fast for an SUV weighing over 2.5 tonnes.
Its performance
While some may find such statistics difficult to reconcile, it’s not just the sheer physical acceleration that amazes but also the effortless fashion in which performance is delivered. With 1000Nm available from 1,750rpm, the Q7 has vast reserves of pulling power ready to respond in an instant.
Its smooth
Audi’s world-class engineering is evident at every corner. A smooth-shifting, 6-speed tiptonic gearbox has been specifically developed to handle the engine’s power and torque. While legendary quattro permanent all-wheel-drive ensures that the Q7 V12 TDI puts its power down on the road, safely and controlled, whatever the weather.
