You don't buy a Diesel in SUV to "save money". You buy it for low end torque because it suits SUV driving style. With an engine like this Audi, you can haul whatever and you won't have any problems. It's the same philosophy as with Cummins and Duramax. They are not for saving money, they are for hauling stuff. If you want an economical Diesel, buy a Volkswagen Passat, or some Citroën...
You are wrong, your hauling abilities are not constrained by engine torque, but by tyre type/size. If you want to haul stuff, buy a truck, because that audi is not gonna work on loose/muddy surface at all. If you want wheel torque, Soviet Uaз (80hp bus) with great reduction gearbox or Kamaз (60 hp truck used everywhere in postsoviet countries) truck have probably more than this useless Audi
Without Torque, you need very Low Gearing as to not destroy the engine. Low Torque engines can be used to haul stuff but it's not very practical because most of the time it's going to be significantly slower and they may even use more fuel than more torque engine. Right tires are also good but not essential because if it's a heavy load, it will press down on suspension and tires and create more grip that way. Tires are not essential, but it's a lot safer to use the right tyres. A truck is much more versatile than that Audi, that is for sure, but you don't need a truck to haul things for 100 km on a highway and a few dozen meters on gravel. For work, Truck is much better, but if you are on a family vacation and you want to take a boat with you, that Audi will be a better choice because it is more practical for that use. No one at a right mind would use this Audi as a replacement for F-250, but most people don't need a Truck that size- In Europe, roads are narrow and winding so that Audi is much more practical than a Pickup. Quattro AWD is not as good for heavy duty use as something with propper 4X4, but for things, it would be used for, that Quattro is just fine and 4X4 would be redundant, cause no one at a right mind would take that Audi somewhere where that makes a big difference. For its purpose that Audi is very well made.
Edim 108 true but nobody in europe (with our fuel prices ) will buy this car, most people here use the q7 3.0 v6 tdi with 200+ hp ( from 204 hp to 280) and in some cases you can see the 4.2 v8 tdi 340hp wich can tow an small boat without any problem, Audi made this car to flex a q7 with a v12 diesel I guess , it will be dope to see one tho I see lot of q7’s of that generation here in spain and the father of my friend has this car with the v6 engine, and it’s surprising how those 3 liters can pull Not just in this model , but in the a6, a7, a8 is the most common engine too, the 3000cc v6 tdi is prolly the best engine audi has made , no need for a big v8 or a fucking v12 hahaha

Torque combined with revs produce power. Lots of Low end torque means lots of low end power and power couse acceleration. Power goes to gearbox etc and into wheels and it generate wheel torque which pushes car forward because a = F/m

Alot of us here are like they should have did it but the truth is even tho the tag of "budget super" was placed on it..only the rich could seriously buy one and petrol consumption would be the last thing on their minds when deciding to buy a supercar. It certainly wouldn't make any sense purchasing an r8 new without the beautiful sound of the na v10
Actually the whole point of buying a diesel is to tow things. The 6.7 liter Powerstroke V8 in an F-450 make 440hp and 925 lbs ft of torque. It was not designed to be economical. It was designed to tow over 30,000lbs.
That isn't true at all. The point of a diesel is one thing. Fuel mileage. You can easily build gas engines to pull just as well as any diesel, just not with decent mileage. People have this thought as well that diesels naturally make more torque and it just isn't true. This one at hand produces (yet limited to) 1000NM/738FT LBS of torque at 38psi. The current Power Stroke if I recall makes those numbers at 30psi. You could easily build a 6.7L gas engine that makes 925FT LBS of torque at around 20psi. Bentley has a 6.75L V8 that makes 811 Tq at 20psi with ancient technology and compression ratio that is from the 80's.
Michael King um wrong, maybe in Europe a diesel is supposed to get better fuel mileage. In America, all Diesel engine are made to do is tow many tons. Fuel mileage is just a bi product because diesel takes longer to burn
@@derbyjr actually, he is right, yoz can make it with a gas engine as well, physics do not change when you cross the ocean.. a diesel has a high comptession rate, thats were the low torque comes from and additionally, diesel has a higher density, so a gallon of diesel is more mass than a gallon of gas, just like different types of wood burn at different rates so( a pile of pine will not last as long as a pile of oak, if the same size).. if you try to build a low torque gas engine you get in the low 1 digit mpg.. so, it's just more economic
No, wrong on your part. If you think the manufactures can't build a gas engine to haul big loads you'd be out of your mind. They just can't do it with reasonable fuel mileage. Even the Ford V10 is rated for 30,000lb and it is very weak in power for it's size. To build a gas powered engine to haul 80,000 lbs like a big rig wouldn't be that hard with today's technology. To build one that does it with decent fuel economy however just isn't going to happen. The 8.1L was poorly built and had no problem towing as well as the Duramax at that time. The Duramax just did it with roughly double the fuel economy.
Fuel consumption is around 11 - 15 Liter. Which other 500hp 7 Seat SUV van so that? The smaller and Lighter x5m took around 18l super plus. Ist extremely economical compared to the Standard Power SUV from BMW, Porsche or benz
I have a 2010 Mercedes ML 350 with the blue tech. Tuned and deleted. 280 horse, 500Trq. 32 miles a gallon on the highway. Next driving is around 24 to 25. Can’t beat that. Well I can, I actually have a BMW 335D that’s tuned and deleted. Darn near 400 horse and 680Trq.
People say overkill for a diesel, but 493hp/738ft/ lbs. and 21-25mpg Name one diesel (or anything for that matter) that meets those numbers. Duramax, Powerstroke, Cummings, etc. close on specs (albeit less torque), 8-12mpg at best...

They are the same company Audi is a VW with extras
@@MJ-uk6lu they are not the same Company VW just owns Audi they and my point was that there is a VW V10 tdi and a Audi V12 tdi
Unbelivable this car is so old.It was ahead of time when it debuted.
The torque tho
He's got a way with words has Clarkson.....😂😂😂
Bringing that to the next Fridays For Future Protest
2000s Volkswagen Audi cars are mental
Asslaam alaikum
I have a Audi Q7 and it is an excellent vehicle. We have 4 children, it is perfect.
Benefit money gone to waste
Jeremy this is the best looking car going
I love the way she sings.
I so miss the audi that was crazy enough to make this car. My car is the very last of that era a 2015 audi rs5 with the high revving final 4.2 v8
My favourite car in the whole world!
I'd still buy one
Torque combined with revs produce power. Lots of Low end torque means lots of low end power and power couse acceleration. Power goes to gearbox etc and into wheels and it generate wheel torque which pushes car forward because
a = F/m
Whoevers waching this in 2018 this is amazing seeing how everyone gets hyped about the 707 hp the jeep trackhawk and thinks its amazing engenering and yet this car had 30 more horses wich was built in 2009 is absolutely amazing and is around the same price
That was torque he was talking about.
The V12 Q7 has 493bhp & 738lb-ft Torque.
The Trackhawk has 707bhp & 645lb-ft Torque.
Shona I bet that for less than 10K € in tuning the 6.0 V12 TDI engine would make almost twice the power than stock and almost twice the torque of the trackhawk. All of this while not averaging at 15mpg lmao
@@jonytube more like 8mpg 😂😂
Leave the statue of liberty in the same angle as the tower of pizza
GinGER the real question is why wouldn’t you want 2000Nm of torque? 1500 lb ft for my fellow Americans
I'm sold
I want one!
It actually looks decent
Am I the only person who is sick to the back teeth of the TG fast cut camera work?
Novel.
jamie savage Novel. And highly intuitive of you.
jamie savage I'm reporting you for this. Threatening behaviour is actually a statutory offence.
I know it's the way I roll my friend .. always offering to be a good Samaritan in the time of need of a stranger ... p.s stop looking at this beast of a vw toureg you can't afford it so stop pretending pal .
behave your self be calm I COME IN PEACE ! I WOUDNT HURT A FLY
Because they could, what a machine 👌
Nice car
I'd buy an Audi Q7 anytime
I can't wait to import one to the us
Looks nice like rs one that's cool
ok youtube you give me this after 10 years, thx
my dad had exact same back in 2012 mad car
fucking fast
That's my favourite car
Lion King HD well so r u
It’s really ridiculous. I drove it and it is insane. Just so weird having such a heavy car go that fast.
@@gymweeb9229 Not as surprising if you have been in a 2 tonne Merc SL 65 AMG which can go way faster.
AG19RDR the one I drove was tuned though.
@@gymweeb9229 lmao a Q7 V12 tuned? I imagine it having like 1200 Nm of torque. Or 1500 Nm like the Veyron has... :-/
I like that the styling taste changed so much
I've always thought this was one of the most handsome suvs ever aside from the range rover of its time.
This is the car I have
Sadly 11 years later even all of their RS products are the slowest among their competitors.
Bright Ivan your wrong, you could say that the RS6 is faster than some modern day Lamborghinis and that it’s the fastest production estate ever....
@@Nolongrused fun fact: RS6 is the newest among it and M5 and E63S Estate but its also the slowest. M5 and E63S totally smoked the RS6.
@@brightivan you're correct, I own a Rs5 2018, quicker than the m3 & c63 in drag race, once its gets over 70mph,they pull alot more
The time when the electrification of the cars was not a thing. The good old age ❤.
This car makes all the sense in the world, Clarky never seemed to stop talking rubbish :)
Corsa15DT It was all scripted
Stefan W. and the q3 or q5
@Alex Lol you say to him that he is poor and when you realize he is not you play the "i dont care" card....
You are pethetic dude, you are all over this comment section, get a life mate....
No everyone loves BMW, Audi or Mercedes so quit calling people poor.
@Alex Ive red pretty much every single comment of yours, and i can tell that you not open minded at all.
And yes you can love something you cant afford, i love Pagani and Koenigsegg and i cant afford them, thats just your stupid, ignorant mentality and lack of culture that makes you think like that.
I dont like BMW, Mercedes and i think Audi is the worst premium german brand on the market, legit doesnt care about making a good car, they only care about money and thats it.
*It doesnt fucking matter what car he drives!!!! Ye can still hate or love a brand....*
*Stop thinking like an ignorant....and grow the fuck up.*
I will get not very far in life? I already made it very far....
And i have no problem with you saying your POV, my problem is when you start insulting people over a stupid pice of metal and plastic....
when this video was uploaded i was 4
When this video was uploaded I was 20 😂😂
I liked Audi until 2016 when they released the new q7 that q7 is nice tho to be fair
Wish I could get one here. :-(
this is what hannibal lecter should drive. understated but absolutely vicious xD
For those who don’t know, Audi tested this engine in the R8 but couldn’t justify putting an R8 diesel into production.
Alot of us here are like they should have did it but the truth is even tho the tag of "budget super" was placed on it..only the rich could seriously buy one and petrol consumption would be the last thing on their minds when deciding to buy a supercar. It certainly wouldn't make any sense purchasing an r8 new without the beautiful sound of the na v10
@@nsm6526 I love driving diesel for the torque.the mileage is gravy
@@tropicalsnow yea but would you take it over a na screaming v10
Sorry but a 6l V12 twin turbo diesel is really very cool in my view
And also useless
“The car could tow a jumbo jet”
Well, no joke
Actually the whole point of buying a diesel is to tow things. The 6.7 liter Powerstroke V8 in an F-450 make 440hp and 925 lbs ft of torque. It was not designed to be economical. It was designed to tow over 30,000lbs.
That isn't true at all. The point of a diesel is one thing. Fuel mileage. You can easily build gas engines to pull just as well as any diesel, just not with decent mileage. People have this thought as well that diesels naturally make more torque and it just isn't true. This one at hand produces (yet limited to) 1000NM/738FT LBS of torque at 38psi. The current Power Stroke if I recall makes those numbers at 30psi. You could easily build a 6.7L gas engine that makes 925FT LBS of torque at around 20psi. Bentley has a 6.75L V8 that makes 811 Tq at 20psi with ancient technology and compression ratio that is from the 80's.
Michael King um wrong, maybe in Europe a diesel is supposed to get better fuel mileage. In America, all Diesel engine are made to do is tow many tons. Fuel mileage is just a bi product because diesel takes longer to burn
@@derbyjr actually, he is right, yoz can make it with a gas engine as well, physics do not change when you cross the ocean.. a diesel has a high comptession rate, thats were the low torque comes from and additionally, diesel has a higher density, so a gallon of diesel is more mass than a gallon of gas, just like different types of wood burn at different rates so( a pile of pine will not last as long as a pile of oak, if the same size).. if you try to build a low torque gas engine you get in the low 1 digit mpg.. so, it's just more economic
No, wrong on your part. If you think the manufactures can't build a gas engine to haul big loads you'd be out of your mind. They just can't do it with reasonable fuel mileage. Even the Ford V10 is rated for 30,000lb and it is very weak in power for it's size. To build a gas powered engine to haul 80,000 lbs like a big rig wouldn't be that hard with today's technology. To build one that does it with decent fuel economy however just isn't going to happen. The 8.1L was poorly built and had no problem towing as well as the Duramax at that time. The Duramax just did it with roughly double the fuel economy.
you people are so sad lol
Fuel consumption is around 11 - 15 Liter. Which other 500hp 7 Seat SUV van so that? The smaller and Lighter x5m took around 18l super plus. Ist extremely economical compared to the Standard Power SUV from BMW, Porsche or benz
I have a 2010 Mercedes ML 350 with the blue tech. Tuned and deleted. 280 horse, 500Trq. 32 miles a gallon on the highway. Next driving is around 24 to 25. Can’t beat that. Well I can, I actually have a BMW 335D that’s tuned and deleted. Darn near 400 horse and 680Trq.

People say overkill for a diesel, but
493hp/738ft/ lbs. and 21-25mpg
Name one diesel (or anything for that matter) that meets those numbers.
Duramax, Powerstroke, Cummings, etc. close on specs (albeit less torque), 8-12mpg at best...
You fucking dumbass, this car is from 2009 and it is an diesel, can your gay svr tow a jumbo jet? No.
yes he is.. he totally forget for 5000+ lbs or more that 2,3 tons of mass
audi is heavier and its diesek dumbass
dumbass...
Tesla Model S.
The point of a diesel is not (just) to save fuel, it is to make use and enjoy all that mountain of torque you have under your right foot.
Back when manufacturers had no self control.
which season and episode?
cardudes google it.
Series 14 episode 4
Spring and episode IV revenge of the sith
Shazzkid That joke was so funny I forgot to laugh.
Wish we had the V12 TDI in America but I’d be just fine with a 3.0TDI
Which year/episode was it?
I hate SUV's. But there's always an exception. If I had the money this would be perfect for towing anything. Thanks.
I fuckin love it 😭😭
I’d have one any day of the week
this is a car for World leaders
Like 9000
