Re: Audi Q7 will be the first to use the new 500hp V12 TDI.

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.

Audi Q7: Another confirmation of the V12 6.0 TDI engine

For all of you out there who have to read it twice, we found another confirmation that the Audi Q7 is getting the V12 TDI engine from the Audi R10 race car.

This engine will make the Audi Q7 the second most powerful car in the world, just behind the Bugatti Veyron!

The article is also revealing some more facts.
- The fuel-injection system is working with a pressure of 2000 (!) bar and is completely new developed
- Average fuel consumption is estimated with 11.9 liters diesel (compared to 16 liters of a Porsche Cayenne V8)
- Extremely clean engine, fulfilling the pollution requirements of the Euro5 standard

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.
