Audi Q7 will be the first to use the new 500hp V12 TDI. - Page 2

Mr. M

I wonder how's the fuel consumption with this V12. Are we talking about 16L/100km? It isn't going to be good but I'm looking forward to this: it will create a halo that will definitely raise the image of lower displacement diesel engines.

I6 3.0L bi turbo petrol: 306HP, 3.0L twin turbo diesel 286HP ... -20HP

4.4L V8 petrol: 333HP, 4.4L V8 diesel: 330HP ... -3HP

These days diesels are very close (or even exceed) the power output of petrol engines.

So V10 & V12 diesels will easily reach an output of way over 400HP.

My hesitation is not from a technical point of view... I am confident Audi could pull it off oin that dept... my hesitation is more based on the cost/need/demand/marketing front.

Bring it on! I can definitely say that i'll never buy a GC with petrol engine, never again! Only in case if it's an RS or M or AMG.
