  1. Q7 v12 has to be upwards of 2700kg, my cayenne turbo which has a shorter wheelbase and a gas engine with 4 cylinders less is already 2600kg. These older platform q7 are heavier than new ones, since they were built on a strong platform, able to do pretty good offroading with locking diffs and a low range gearbox.

  2. This one has legitimate uses at least, so its not unnecessary in that regard.

  3. Think about towing the rated 3500kg up a very steep hill without even having to use the throttle that much. Pretty cool and not wasted in that case.

  4.  @robinw944  Sure, its easily good enough. This one was made to be the best, if you got money to splurge.

  5. Strange comparison....

  6. Not so sure about that, top speed reached here is about right for such a big, tall car. Also, the acceleration tapers off in a natural way. Cant be many more kmh to go if it is indeed limited.

  7. They are surprisingly tall compared to a modern crossover, well surprising to me at least when I drove one and looked down on the volvo xc60 parked next to me.

  8. Not in a 2700kg car with big transmission losses as this one got, it probably cant...

  9. Torque deosnt accelerate cars unfortunately, power do. So its nothing special in that regard. Nice having pretty good power while not reving much when you are towing a heavy trailer, though.

  10.  @cliffburtonnkardesiyim3725  You could increase just the power, not the torque by limiting it electronically. Also you I am sure the gearbox can handle the heat of a few drags with 800hp. But it is still a very heavy car, not ideal.
