Audi SQ7 TDI - Animation EPC and 48-volt electrical subsystem

[@dy7296]

Came back here for the bgm. Also rip Diesel SQ7, you are missed.

[@benjamininostroza3131]

This is awesome. People must understand that the electric compressor is really a game changer. Had to be the Germans.

[@jamsbong]

This is a very complex machine. It has 4 exhaust manifold and each turbo gets exhaust fed from both side of the bank. Valvetronic on the exhaust side. This is like a super-mutant diesel engine.

[@arthurgevorkyan2788]

and it will be dirt cheap in 5 years, because nobody wants high maintenance vehicle

[@jaivaja7316]

This is probably the only diesel car I would consider buying. This and maybe the 1.9 tdi

[@digitaldreamer8637]

Now that Audi is moving to 48v system across the range, expect to see some interesting use of electric motors to reduce lag and increase performance. Maybe on the RS models??

[@jayknight139]

Why aren't more people talking about this.? I have never seen anything like it.

[@DeePunter]

It's amazing

[@mwwhatever]

Couldn't they just use electric compressor(s) (electric turbos) to replace the traditional turbos? Wouldn't they be able to spin up much faster, be easier to replace? It look like they already have a battery system to store up enough power to power an electric compressor

[@toni6057]

Without a conventional turbocharger, the exhaust energy would be wasted.

[@ibbz6932]

They probably could have pulled off a one unit that consists of a turbine, compressor, and generator/motor all together. Idk why they didn’t, maybe next gen?

[@digitaldreamer8637]

They would run out of battery. The electric compressor is only used for maybe 1 second until the main turbo is spooled and online!

[@GOONMOTORSPORT]

they can do anything they want, the car still heavy !!!

[@ts5111]

Apparently the new car is lighter than the older versions

[@BenHalameLaVer]

+Steevenoo Well if you have 664lb/ft of torque at 1000rpm weight its the last of my concerns, and have you ever seen the weight of the V6 version of the Q7 and weight of the Volvo XC90 with a 4 cyl, you would be amazed by the difference

[@lawrencepll76]

Seriously! who will buy VW diesel anymore??

[@Mr11ESSE111]

+Lawrence Lo lucky that all other manufacturers got "clean" diesels!! they all have same shit but WV will only pay

[@ПИПАЕ36]

+Lawrence Lo People who love diesel!

[@MrBodi1]

+Lawrence Lo I will.

[@BreizhVince]

[@СуликВелиметов]

Are you kidding bro?It is one of the best diesels i have ever seen.This and maybe 6.0 tdi.But i have one question.Is this engine's block is cast iron or aluminum?
