New Audi Q7 3.0 TDI with 204HP V6 Diesel

A new EU5-compliant diesel engine has been added to the European range of its recently updated Audi Q7. The 3.0 liter V6 common-rail turbo diesel that drives Audi's large SUV delivers an output of 204HP (150 kW) and 450 Nm (331.90 lb-ft) of peak torque available between 1,250 and 2,750 rpm.

As with all Q7 models, the 3.0 TDI features a start-stop system that deactivates the engine as soon as the vehicle comes to a stop, and an energy recovery system that stores energy during deceleration, as standard. An eight-speed tiptronic transmission and quattro permanent all-wheel drive round out the drivetrain package.

Ingolstadt's diesel-powered SUV accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 9.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 202 km/h (126 mph) with the standard suspension, and 205 km/h (127 mph) with an optional air suspension.

Audi says the Q7 3.0 TDI consumes 7.2 liters per 100 km (32.7 mpg U.S.) on average with CO2 emissions of 189 grams per km (304.17 grams per mile).

In Germany it will cost buyers €51,800 [about US$71,800] to get into the SUV.

2010 Audi S5 Coupe Specification and Wallpapers

The Audi S5 is the performance-oriented version of the A5, Audi's two-door, four-seat luxury sports coupe. It provides more muscular styling, more power and additional standard equipment. For 2010, a stunning new Cabriolet body style joins the S5 lineup, offering the additional pleasure of open-air driving.
The Audi S5 coupe will keep its 4.2-liter V8 for now, but starting in September 2010 the bi-turbo 3.0-liter TFSI V6 as seen in the S4 will replace it. Despite the horsepower reduction from the V8's 260kW (354hp) versus the V6's 245kW (333hp), it's possible the weight savings as well as lower center of gravity of the smaller engine compensates for the reduction in output.
The car features an optional Bang & Olufsen surround sound system with 14 speakers and 505 digitally amplified watts. Microphone-based noise compensation ensures optimum sound under varying road conditions and speeds. The other major options include a navigation system with coverage for all of North America, a 7-inch touchscreen display and six-disc CD changer, as well as a technology package comprised of a parking assistance system with rear view camera, adaptive headlights and a keyless entry and vehicle start system.
