It will be mad heavy and it is dead huge too which is why the car isn't that thrilling to me. Despite the power it does 0-100km/h in 5.5 seconds. It is almost the size of an R-class which makes the power useless. Additionally it has the same led lights as the face lifted Cayenne TT.

Can someone explain just how exactly this engine is the 2nd most powerful in the world?

It's the most powerful diesel in the world and the second more powerful engine in general when we consider the torque figures.

It shares the second place with MB S/CL/SL 65 AMG, Maybach 57S. Bugatti Veyron wins with 1250 Nm.

Subaru Impreza WRX ST1 has the best Nm/l figure in compressed engines: 210 Nm/l. The best compressed diesel is Opel Antara 1.9 CDTI 156 kW: 209 Nml/l.

whAT A great achievement. 500 hp out of a diesel-i guess they do get some R&D out of racing. It looks superb as well.

GREAT JOB AUDI!

I would have thought a Evo 9 360 would beat a subaru impreza wrx STI easily.

I really hope they will not conceive such a diesel monster.

I know V10 diesel is in development - but have no info about specs. But it will sure be more powerful than 4.4L V8. I expect output around 400HP / 850Nm.

I'm more interested in petrol engines: NGV8 range & NG V12 range.

400 Hp is more than enough, i really don't understand who will buy this engine instead of a petrol one with same level of power.

People who are concerned about fuel economy and the environment, kinda!

Also people who want to tow large things such as boats!
