The engine finally makes it inside an actual Q7.

I like what I see... now that is something. G-Tronic, good for 2000 newtonmeters? ;) :D

very strange to show this concept-car after showing other images of the Q7 V12TDI a half year ago.
and it will need at least another full year for the productin model...

I lam itle bit suprised, this isn't Audis style...

But times are changing...

Anyway, for the first time Audi has product that is far in front of any concurention, V12 TDI.

BRAVO ! :applause:

G-Tronic from what i see is something to show G forces, not a new gearbox :bye:

Might not be a new gearbox, but with 2000 newtonmeters of torque it wouldn't be long before one would be needed.

Ben, I hope you have you're name down for one.

Although, no one knows the answer to what gearbox can launch this beast, at least the interior is Audi stunning! I would get this just for the interior. Audi keeps raising the bar so much higher, just when everyone else is still making Audi-like interiors from 10 years ago.

Wow...

Now I'm ever happier that I got the Denali over the Q7! Because that $16K I saved can go down as a deposit on THIS sucker!

But the million dollar question is: Will it ever come to the US and when (and yes, I fully realize that showing it in the US is a very good sign, but I was always taught to never count my chickens before they hatch ;) ).

Ben, I promise I'll let you drive it when you're over here (not this year tho - just 3.0 would have to do) - for sure it will be at least two years before it gets to US (if at all.....) :doh:

Yes, but the real question is, will you let me drive it on the Autobahn...:hahahehe: :incar: :applause:

sure, but here tickets are cheap so it is more fun on country road .... :applause:

just got additional piece of "autobahn opened and now I have only 12 km to get on - 45 min drive to the airport (early morning) with beast, 65 min with diesel .... :thumb:

It won't take 65 minutes with that diesel! :wo:

As for me, I'm not sure I'll be swinging that Beast, it may prove too rich for my blood. On my budget, I'd have no $$$ left to entertain guests like you when they visit.:cheers:

I do that only or my friends, Ben - you do not count as ordinary "guest". In that case you'd be in Skoda :applause:

I'd say V12tdi would make approx. same time or very close on that trip as the beast - with no traffic problems rs would win..:bow:

I'm honored...:asian:

I have "special" guests and a lot of "regular" guests I need to entertain. And no, the regular guests don't touch my cars...:D

Don't see why not.

While they are sorting out the alleged cooling 'anomalies' they can adapt it with BlueTec.

America, surely, has got to have the biggest market potential for this car. Reasonable gas mileage, with monster shove.

Your country did create the adage "There ain't no substitute for cubic inches"

Its made for you guys. :jlol:

Hack Lateknight, made for you guys. They put bloody truck engines in supercars, hell yeah it's made for them. And the fact that fuel costs are a fraction of Europe's. The only thing for Audi to consider is whether to bring it out in the US with the bling, bling wheels.:vhmmm:

Has anyone some details about this new Audi media system in the V12 TDI concept

http://gallery.audiworld.com/gallery/awframes/indexnaias2007.html

It is in place of the CD changer and seems to have SD card slots ???

does v12 tdi consist of 2 v6 blocks or a single v12 block?

Its 1 block.

It is heavily based on the 3.0 V6 tdi, though (bore, stroke, cylinder spacing is the same).

Its a 'relatively' economic way of producing 'new' engines - saves on tooling etc

Seems to work (eventually) :hahahehe:

Thats why the group has so many engines 3,4,5,6,8,10,12,16 cylinders / in-line, V-inline, V , & W formations
Nobody does more! :applause:
