Following the Paris autoshow this month, Audi Q7 V12 TDI will go on sale in 2007.
It`s engine is built out of two existing Audi`s V6 3.0 liter . The 48 valves ( 4 valves per cylinder ) produces 500 hp.
The biggest achievement of the new engine is the huge torque, with a peak of 738 lb ft between 1750 and 3000 rpm. It is only restricted by the inability of the six speed automatic gearbox to handle more, as Audi says. Anyway, this makes the !7 the most powerfull production car with a diesel engine. The car is based on a 60 degree engine design and the V12 engine speeds the car from 0 to 62 mph in only 5.5 seconds.
Audi Q7 could be called the worlds first diesel powered supercar, because of it`s great performances.
