Audi was way ahead of its time in 2009 with that interior
This generation Q7 came out in 2006
This was one of the nicest interiors back in the 2000s(remember that this interior came out in 2004 in A6 4F)
The braking on the q7 is quite impressive considering that it's heavier and pretty old...
considering that ceramic brakes perform their best after warming them up. This is impressive. Do a fast Lap to bring them up to temp and retry. Should easily beat the etron.
Or the new one just got shitty brakes 🙃
yeah but the brakes on it are huge even or its time
