  • Audi 3.0-liter V-6 TDI with electrically-driven turbocharger

    Audi recently presented an RS 5 TDI concept car powered by a diesel engine equipped with an electrically-driven turbocharger. The engine features a twin-turbocharger setup where the smaller of the two turbos uses an electric motor to spool up its compressor at lower revs (up to 70,000 rpm in a few hundredths of a second) or even keep it spinning when the driver is off the accelerator in order to eliminate turbo lag and thus make the engine more responsive. Audi calls the technology e-boost. MUST SEE: Jaguar XJ220 Lights Tires On Fire In Ultimate Burnout: Video The 'e-boosted' engine, a...

  • 2010 Audi Q7 V12 TDI

    If a $285,000 Audi Q7 V-12 TDI doesn't quite make sense to you, you're not a Russian billionaire. Or at least that's the math when it comes to Audi's latest idea for exploiting the questionable tastes of the rich. Russia isn't the only market being targeted with the halo car concept. If you're in the United Arab Emirates, you'll have a shot at a special-edition R8 V-10 Pure Sport model for a mere $136,000. Exactly what makes these cars special isn't laid out in detail, but the Q7 will get a special two-tone paintjob in Phantom and Velvet blacks. Just 555 of the special-edition Q7s will be...

    Audi Seen As Most Valuable Luxury Brand In Strategic Vision Study

    Jennifer Lopez Plops Down On Big, Juicy Audi Q7

    We admit it: we totally laughed when Audi announced its goal of beating BMW and Mercedes-Benz in worldwide sales by 2015. But you know, if we were still the betting type (let's just say we learned our lesson), we'd probably take a very long look at those increasingly shorter odds. In recent weeks...

  • Orlando Bloom  [via SocialiteLife]

    Like Justin Timberlake's Audi A5, the Audi Q7 isn't the first vehicle we'd expect to find in Orlando Bloom's garage. Given that the guy is just 32, we'd imagine him behind the wheel of something slightly snazzier (although the Q7's ruggedness suits his adventurous demeanor pretty well). Also, the Q7's a bulky crossover, with far more room than the very skinny Mr. Bloom needs to tote himself and his equally thin girlfriend, model Miranda Kerr, around LA. Could Orlando be hinting at plans to enlarge the family? (Baby bumps are this season's Birkin bag, so we wouldn't be surprised.) On the plus...

    Preview: Abt Sportsline turns up the wick on Audi's Q7 V12 oil burner to 560hp

    Not much is yet known about Abt Sportsline's latest take on the Audi Q7 V12 TDI, but the numbers are enough to pique any enthusiast's interest: 560hp (412kW), 886lb-ft (1,200Nm) of torque and sports-car-like 0-62mph (100km/h) times of just 5.5 seconds. How Abt boosted the big V12 diesel from its...

    Audi ups the style of Q7 SUV with latest facelift

    The Audi Q7 is certainly starting to show its age against its prime rivals like the BMW X5, Mercedes Benz ML and the Porsche Cayenne, all of which have either undergone a complete redesign or facelift in the recent past. The Q7, however, has barely changed since its market introduction back in...

  • ABT Sportsline carbon Audi R8

    ABT Sportsline is a specialist when it comes to modifying Audi vehicles but the German tuner’s usual assortment of modifications involves some serious horsepower numbers and extensive body work. Its latest creation, on the other hand, could best be described as automotive artwork and is designed for those individuals who want their car to look fast. ABT Sportsline has come up with a full vehicle covering that resembles carbon-fiber but is actually a low-cost adhesive. The material has been shaped to fit the Audi Q7 and R8, and can be applied to every external panel on the car. Replacing...

This Q7 gets the same V12 diesel engine developing 500hp and 100Nm as the normal car, but is now fitted with some Q-like gadgetry such as a g-force meter integrated in...
