A diesel with 1200 Newton metres of torque and 560 HP (412 kW)? Even though the figures might suggest otherwise, ABT Sportsline is by no means now consorting with the manufacturers of heavy truck engines.

To be honest, this is the first time, I’ve heard of the tuner PPI, out of Germany. They have taken the Q7 Audi and made it something right out of the RS catalog.

The 4.2 liter motor has been massaged and fitted with a pair of turbos to produce 600hp with a top speed of 295km/h. Not too shabby for an SUV.

Bigger brakes, 22″ rims and Michelin sport tires rated to 310km/h have also been added to the mix. Altho I’m not sure how much it costs, 0-100km/h times of 5.9s make it very tempting to add to the garage.
