Toorak Tractor - Literally

[maca]

To all those who make fun of TDIs being "tractors", here's something to race up against your dark blue Polo GTIs and deep blue pearl R32s

[tinto]

Perfect.










For the school run.

Audi Q7 V12 TDI quattro $254,900 !!!!! That's real nose-bleed territory.

If I was going to spend that much on one car it wouldn't be an Audi (/Cayenne/Touareg) on stilts.

Twin turbo 6L V12 and they can only manage 368kw...............
Seems like they just went for the torque figures.

Seems okay but the tuners already upped it to over 400kw and over 1100Nm.
Not really worth it imho.

haha but if you have that sort of dough you'd already have your 911 turbos and F430 Scud.

This would be merely for towing your smallest yacht.

[GoLfMan]

I'd have one.... just for 1000nm and the suprise on peoples faces when you shoot to 100 in quick time. haha

Canyonaro.....

Canyonero
Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down
It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown
Canyonero

Canyonero

[Krusty:] "Hey hey!"

Commission has ruled the Canyonero unsafe for
highway or city driving."

Twelve yards long, two lanes wide
Sixty-five tons of American pride

Drivin' machine

Whoa, Canyonero!
(H'aah!)

Whoa, Canyonero!
Whoa

Or when that tow hook I would be dragging along attached to the front end of their Range Rover and ripped the whole front end out........

Dang...

Model range and manufacturer’s recommended pricing

Audi Q7 V12 TDI quattro $254,900

Audi Q7 4.2 FSI quattro $122,600
Audi Q7 3.0 TDI quattro $88,700

Gotta say most of us probably have better ways to blow a quarter of a mil.

Haven't driven the Q7 myself, but I see the appeal of the model and I'll give it a look when next we replace our 4WD.

What's wrong with a car that can comfortably take 5 adults on a long trip, can tow a caravan or large boat with ease, offers plenty of performance for the road (and can be a hoot on the racetrack as well), offers some serious safety protection for the occupants and has the full luxury kit to go with it?

$260K is similar money to the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S which pips the Q7 for power (404kW) but only offers 3/4 the torque (750Nm) - so there's definitely a market for this new Q7.

Yeah I know, I always think that having only 750Nm in your life leaves a bit of a hole.
The other good thing about the Q7 in relation to the Cayenne is that it's more of just a big blob of vehicle as opposed to being an obese 911 beaten with the ugly stick.

That's why I didn't say other people wouldn't buy it, only that I wouldn't

If it floats (or tows) your boat and you're happy to spend that sort of money on a fast depreciating asset, then feel free to go right ahead and buy a new one.

I'm sure it would be a real hoot at the lights (you might want to remove the "V12" badge if it comes with one though, otherwise that might spoil the "Q ship" element of surprise)
