@@the-boring-car-guy That too. It's because of It's Quad Turbo unreliability, where one or two of the turbos stop working out of nowhere without warning, and It'll be expensive to service. But to me, the Q7 is still the most complicated.
Yes, beside the V10 Toureg. Both this and the Toureg would whoop the e-tron in offroading and towing though. Also top speed and range. Those things are great and I want one😍
not a Q7, neither a Q8, but an RS Q8 which already is anything but bad, and even then, it's the same base engine, but minor upgrades and a substantial output increase
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.
@@Trendyflute Eastern europeans..love that diesel german junk...I know cuz I'm one of them, but I can't stand german cars, or diesels unlike literally everyone else where I'm from...
@@kg9799 Those diesels are such maintenance nightmares and so expensive to get parts and repair....they're engineered garbage to cost so much welthy people can't afford the repairs and are forced to buy new ones, so yes...there's a LOT wrong with them.
Yes, and each brand was still true to it's heritage, Mercedes with the big Muscle V8 6.2 and twin-turbo V12s, BMW with high revs flat plane V8s and V10s, Audi playing with V10 from Lamborghini and V12 diesels, VW with W8 (Passat) W12 (Touareg). Nowadays every single one of them has a 4 liter twin-turbo V8 with ZF transmission, it’s quite boring actually (but efficient).
Or at least the 8 speed torque converter they currently make would be a better choice in order to cope with the torque that ridiculously complex powerplant has.
@CT is infant grade content now No other manufacture had the balls of making this thing happen and still there are people calling it junk. I love when super car fanboys can't appreciate a car. If you want to see some junk take a look at Mcleran, they have plenty 😁.
Shows you how far a decade has come and how the power for the next 10 years compares to 10 years ago. Like really 0.6 seconds for something that will complain it's too hot or cold and need 10 hours charge and need a 50 grand battery in 10 years no thanks
I'm a big Diesel fan but I didn't expect this, with a modern gearbox this thing is mental. And they get like 15l/100km (15,681 MPG). Not bad for such a big vehicle with massive towing capacity!
@@getrappt1870 it wouldn't matter if it had a 50l tank, that electric car ran out of charge within 10-15miles and only half of that was at full throttle, tells you alot about electric cars!!!!! Hydrogen is the way forward
These v12 were relatively untuned as stock With a little work and nous I’ve had two that are 1350 Nm and 690HP. What holds them .back is the six speed gear box. Shame they didn’t have the 8 speed used in later Q7s and the A8 mounted with the 4.2 V8. Still with 1350nm I leave the sq7s for dead in a straight line Love these albatrosses!
Difference with electric cars and petrol/diesel cars is after this race the electric car has to go charge for hours on end as the other car keeps going to its next destination.
Comparing electric car 0-60 times to real performance cars is like comparing a microwave to a bbq grill. It may cook faster, but nobody ever wished for a microwaved burger
Yeah during that time they put a Lamborghini V10 in the C6 RS 6 and then a V12 diesel in that thing~ I mean 500 HP and over 730 lb-ft of torque was nuts~ That diesel engine in that Q7 does have some good low end torque, so it is very fast for its age.
and the quality is shoddy. i replaced my c-class with a model 3 performance just last month, and i am astounded by the quality of the tesla. and its not like the mercedes is very well made as well.
The Q7 TDI W12 it's absolutely amazing!!! Today it's seems a today car ... and with the exclusive package as the car in the video is really a luxury car!!! The e-tron ... no comment!
I don't understand reviews about the drag race of Dads? Only time I could enjoy it may be 2 weeks of pandemic. Now, I can watch this video sitting in the traffic again.
