This is my favorite pic:

The car looks absolutely amazing, fantastic, angry, beautiful, eat-you-alive, monsterous, scary..ahh.. I'm in love

Some more things I noticed, is that the V12 wheel arches are bigger. And that the mirrors don't look as "elefantish" to me as on the regular Q7.

like you said man..this version corrects everything that was wrong about the Q7 in my eyes

Nothing short of outrageous! Give it up to Audi for injecting some serious blood into its range.

What I like the most about this vehicle is that it will occupy its very own niche. Until just now, a superdiesel luxury SUV doesn't exist. Now Audi will own that fame.

I'm not totally mad about the rims, but I think the rest of the packaging is awesome. This thing would sit right next to my M6 in my daydreamer fantasy garage.

Those LEDs in the front are sweet! It reminds me of the S6.

An amazing coup by Audi. But the Q7 is simply too specialized a car to have this engine all to itself.

Obviously, the A8 is the clearest next candidate for this engine, as is the R8 if the packaging issues can be worked out.

Two questions though...

How much does this engine weigh?
Without the gerabox limits, what would be the maximum torque output?

Can't wait for the first test drive and see the NVH characteristics. Diesels are not as smooth as petrols, but a V12 configuration and Audi expertise may just change the game...

Good call, the mirrors are much nicer indeed... and the arches gives it a much more agressive look (which I image was the idea?!)

Just a comparison, to show that VAG and Porsche are gtting a bit tied up:

Don't get me wrong, I love the Cayenne, but next to this Q7 V12 Monster, it really looses all my interest.
