  | Audi Q7 will be the first to use the new 500hp V12 TDI.  It was rumored for some days now, but with the wrong model. The Audi Q7 will receive the V12 diesel engine derived from the Audi R10 diesel race car with 500 bhp and 1000 Nm torque! Wow, that's great news and once more Audi is proving their Vorsprung mentality. You still have to wait until 2008 to see, feel and hear the Audi Q7 V12 6.0 TDI (sounds pretty impressive!) on the roads, but that's absolutely worthwhile. In 2010 the V12 diesel engine will also be placed into the next-generation Audi A8. - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER |

I'm sure we will see performance oriented V10 & V12 diesel engines with 400+ HP / 850+ Nm in production vehicles soon ... In Audi, BMW & MB too ... | |

Eg. BMW: I4 2.0L petrol: 150HP, I4 2.0L diesel: 163HP ... +16HP I6 3.0L petrol engine: 272HP, 3.0L diesel 231HP ... -41HP 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. | |

| Re: Audi Q7 will be the first to use the new 500hp V12 TDI. this is very impressive for me too! i guess the hp war is still going. Though i have no problem with it, since the technology used is always new. |
