This is not a car to be judged by normal standards. By normal standards we mean keeping an eye on the imploding US economy, fuel prices, aggressive greenyism, etc. Instead, this comes up and grins into your face and tells you the rest of the world can go itself. All you need, it says, is you, a big, open road, and the Q7's new 493bhp, 1028Nm,6.0-litre V12. You heard that right. 1028Nm. Enough to pull the Moon out of its orbit. Now, the Q7 isn't a very small car. Downright vast, in fact, over five metres long and tipping the scales at 2,635kg. But with this engine, it'll do 0-100kph in 5.5 seconds, and hit a limited 250kph Audi says that de-limited, it'll hit 300.1 And it's been developed by the same lunatics who made the RS6.
