More Diesel Power for the Audi Q7

[Plex]

The soon-to-be-available Audi Q7 with an V8 4.2 TDI engine presents itself in a very dynamic fashion when optimized by the German tuner B&B. Drivers who want an SUV with almost sports car performance can order an upgrade to 385 bhp and 590 lb-ft of torque.

To increase the vehicle's stability on highways and along curves, B&B reduces the height of the original air cushion chassis by up to 2 inches. The big 315/25 R23 tires result in a turn rate far exceeding other vehicles in this category. An aerodynamic program is also available and gives the Audi SUV a perfect finish.
