Are we back in 2005?  R10, Q7, how about so new news?  ;D  Kidding...

I'm real curious what the R10 sounds like.

[Team-G]

Is the Q7 coming with a diesel also?  Looking forward to seeing these  ;)

[Old808]

I think it's 4.2 V8 only in the US

in a year or so they say that diesel will be here
but it will be a 350 hp V8 first then a V6 with 280 hp

If Audi comes to US with a Diesel Perf. car we'll be in your showroom. I've got a 400 hp/ 550 ft/lb V8 in my truck but it's pulling 4 tons!!

Is there a link to qualifying?
