If it came slammed from off the assembly line, it would be awesome.

jezus! with 1750 lbs ft tq, it could probably start spinning the earth backwards! That is some craazy toruqe! Thats like semi-truck torque. These things will have a double use, everyday family car, and work tow truck!

Thing is the LS600hL is a 6000cc like the Q7 were talking about, but doesnt have the same amount of horsepower, probably wont have the same amount of torque.

I have a feeling both will weigh the same though.

One thing isn't it a detuned version this one, because the R10 at Le Mans, is it not like 612+ hp?

Plus didnt VW make a Tourag (?Sp) similar to this 2 years ago and did not work out well?

Yea, they had a 300hp Twin Turbo V10 TDI here in 2004 and 2005. Stopped selling it because of emission problems. But rumor has it that it will be back here soon.

They also had a W12 version as well, but only in Europe I believe.

Loving the way this Q7 looks. Very sweet ride.

Count me in for liking the Q7 as well. I think the design is the best looking out of the Cayenne / Toureg / Q7 family.

I really cant get over how fast cars and SUV's are nowadays. I remember when sports cars did 0-60 in the 6sec range, hell, now a MB GL450 does 0-60 in 6.3 or somehting like that!! And thats not even the AMG version!

I guess 0-60 in 1.5 seconds in a 7,000lb bus is right around the corner! lol

Looks very good... but V12 is overkill
