Audi's Craziest SUV - The £155,000 Q7 V12 DIESEL Exclusive Concept!

Рет қаралды 342,310

4 жыл бұрын

Ten years ago, to celebrate their success at Le Mans with the diesel powered R10 V12, Audi decided to create a V12 diesel powered road car. Only one car ever received the engine, the already luxurious Q7. At almost £100,000 the Q7 V12 was £40,000 more expensive than the next cheapest model, and more even than a Cayenne Turbo.
Not content with that, Audi also introduced their Exclusive Concept, which may or may not ever have sold - but they made one, and today they've let me loose in it!

I hate overblown, over-produced, bombastic '80s music. But I love Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is", because they've taken that terrible concept to such an extreme that it's brilliant. I think this might be something similar.

I believe that the Touareg, unlike this one, is a very very capable off roader. I got the V10 Tdi. For other’s here the W12 was a petrol engine and the R50 was a V10Tdi suped-up version (with 350hp instead of 313 of the regular V10, and 850nm of torque instead of 750nm).

I remember Clarkson's review of this vehicle - he was equally as baffled by its existence. But it seems Audi's timing for the release of this vehicle was a bit off as we all know what happened in 2009 - that's probably why so few were sold.
