Hahaha, I love that SUV! So pointless, but so cool! They only made a few dozens, right?

No idea, but I did see two run around here. I love them for their sheer lunacy.

Cool vid, thanks for posting. That Q7 V12 TDI is a monster motor. They don't mention the mileage in the video, but that Q7 probably returns at least 20 US mpg in real world driving conditions, compared to 12-14 average be the typical petrol powered SUV. With that motor in an SUV, you really can have your cake and eat it too.

Besides how quick it is, the thing I find most amazing is the complete lack of smoke under hard acceleration. I have a F250 Diesel that is chipped, intake, exhaust, etc that smokes like a coal factory when you get on it like that.

I'd take a W-12 or v-!0 Tourag first... the Q7 is ugly.

You had me worried there that the ugly SUV was going to beat the M5. In the end it was pretty close though.

Hehe I was actually rooting for the Q7. And I bet that in most 'real life' sprints between the lights the Q7 will beat a M5 because the bimmer probably won't use launch control or he will be at the dealer for a new clutch/gearbox every weekend.
