Audi Q7 is world's most powerful diesel

Audi has chosen the Geneva show to reveal the final production version of its Q7 V12 TDI.

It's the most powerful turbodiesel passenger car in the world and has 493bhp on tap for 0-62mph in 5.5 seconds and a top speed of 155mph.

However, Audi says the hard-charging SUV will still return 23.7mpg in normal driving.

The range-topping turbodiesel SUV will be on sale by the summer of 2008 and will use the same 6.0-litre V12 turbodiesel engine as the car shown at Geneva.

Taking inspiration from luxury yachts, the 'Coastline' concept on show has its exterior finished in white and the interior is also trimmed in white leather.

There's walnut veneer wood finished throughout the interior for that maritime look and even the boot floor is decked in wood.

While the Geneva show car may be a one-off, Audi is likely to charge around £60,000 for the Q7 V12 TDI when it goes on sale in the UK later this year.
