This is from edmunds.com :

Even more intriguing is the upcoming V10-powered Q7, a model that Audi officials have already confirmed for production. No power figures have been released, but we expect at least 500 horsepower, if not more. Audi executives haven't been coy about their desire to outmuscle Porsche's twin-turbo Cayenne, so expect serious horsepower along with track-ready brakes and 20-inch wheels and tires.

S-line package already has been shown, so now only the engine to follow.Is it going to be the same Lambo V10 used in S8 or new Audi powerplant developed for next RS6?

And more from germancarfans.com :

Audi S6 has been spotted in northern Sweden, where it's undergoing cold-climate testing. And it'll be fitted with a version of the 5.5 V10 used in the upcoming Q7 4x4. The S6 won't have the same 550 bhp output as the Q7, though its 440 bhp from a reduced-capacity 5.2 should be more than adequate.



550 V10 engine should definately take Q7 to Cayenne Turbo territory if not further.Will it be NA or TURBO do u think?

For what do you need an turbo?
An 5.0 liter gallardo does 500bhp.
An 5.5 liter q7 does 550bhp.
If this is true, i think it will only be adjusted to the suv like to the s8.

My inside infomation say that it will be a Q7 5.2 Quattro with a 5.2 litre V10 FSI engine with 450 hp like the S8.
Nothing more and nothing less.
