[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

This is one of Audi's best creations for sure. This Q7 still looks amazing today, and a freaking V12 diesel engine with 500 HP and 1000 Nm of torque was nothing to joke about back in those days. I remember those good ol' days when Audi, Volkswagen, BMW, they were putting all sorts of crazy engines in their cars. The 5.0L V10 in the E60 M5, the 5.0L Lamborghini V10 in the Audi RS 6 C6, the V10 in the VW Touareg, the 4.0L V8 in the E90 M3, I mean insane things you thought were never possible.

[@Lovecars1218]

My father works as an sales engineer for the company, which owns the company providing the clutch and other parts for the gearbox to ZF. When the Q7 V12 launched back on the day, he told me that during development, Audi had to figure out a solution for limiting the torque in lower gears cause the prototype cars engine was unlimited and turned the rims inside the tires while launching, due to the high torque. This car was insane in every way

[@vladmihai306]

it's a 18 wheel 40 ton truck engine on a 3 ton suv....it's expected.... the engine can actually make more than double the stock torque, but as you say, transmission can't handle it and i guess also internals are not made for the amount.

My A8 V8 Tdi just has 400 hp and 830 Nm, but lucky because of the aerodynamics. I gained comfortable distance beyond 250 km/h.
