Geneva is definitely going to be huge and green this year. We first saw the Audi Q7 V12 TDI Concept at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show, and now the production version is finally here. The German automaker has just announced that it will be unveiling the production Audi Q7 V12 TDI quattro next week, the most powerful diesel-powered SUV in its class.
Power comes from a 6 liter V12 TDI engine that produces 500 horsepower and a peak torque of 757.56 lb-ft. The Audi Q7 V12 TDI sprints from 0-62mph in a quick 5.5 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 155mph.
Even will all that power and performance this beastly diesel Q7 consumes 11.9 liters of fuel per 100km (that’s 20mpg on the stateside). Audi says that’s significantly less fuel than any competing gas powered engine in the high-performance SUV sector.
So Audi, how about a production version of the Audi R8 V12 TDI Concept at next year’s Geneva show?
