The V12 TDI power unit with its capacity of six litres endows the high-performance Audi Q7 SUV with sports car credentials. It is the harbinger of a wide-scale model initiative, as Audi seeks to make major inroads into the North American market with its diesel models courtesy of a new emission control technology that cuts emissions drastically. Last year, Audi demonstrated the dynamic potential of diesel power in most memorable fashion on racetracks around the world. The V12 TDI in the R10 sports prototype unleashed in excess of 650 hp and left its gasoline-engined competitors in its wake in each of the eight races it competed in. Highlights of this winning streak included its triumph at the gruelling Le Mans 24 Hours as well as its victories in the LMP1 category of the American Le Mans Series. The trend towards diesel engines is gathering strength all the time in North America too. Audi is firmly convinced that the TDI engine represents the powerful and economical alternative for the future of motoring, and is therefore preparing a model drive to bolster this trend. The Q7 3.0 TDI is expected to hit showrooms in the USA in late 2008. Thanks to the exceptionally low emissions resulting from its cuttingedge Bluetec technology, this engine even complies with the US Tier II Bin 5 standard that places extremely tough demands on nitrogen oxide and particulate emissions.
