Duramax, Powerstroke, and Cummins step aside.  Audi is going to shoehorn a race-derived 6.0L 500hp 720ft-lb. V12 into a new Q7 making it the most powerful passenger car in the world.  This is the same engine, only slightly detuned, destroyed the competition in the 24hrs at Le Mans.  Hopefully I’ll have enough pennies saved by 2008 to buy one.  Unless of course I want to wait till 2010 and have it in their A8 sedan!  Of course what are the chances it will actually see the states?
