Well I think I see an intercooler, so I'm guessing it's the V8 TDI, they didn't put the V10 in the Q7.

Are you seriously told me that you took multiple bracketed exposures in RAW files using a tripod and then pulled something like that out of it?

To be fair, the car looks like every other lovely VW/Audi picture in this thread.

I'm loving the R36, it's an enormous step up from a VY Commodore and even from a mark 5 Golf GTI.

gently caress you for even being able to get the R36. Please post pictures :D

Sure. I've already posted some in this thread (on the first page) but if enough people are interested I'm happy to start an R36 appreciation thread, but I suspect it'll be mostly appreciating my car...

North America didn't get the R36 or R50, or I'd be in one currently. I assume it has DSG?

Yeah, it's the six speed DSG. There is no other gearbox option in any market.

It's an all wheel drive (Haldex) 300 horsepower 3.6 litre narrow angle VR6, more or less the same as the 3.6 VR6 available in the North American Passat but tweaked a bit. VW Claim 0-100km/h in 5.6 seconds for the sedan and 5.8 for the wagon. Apparently that's accurate, but I can't be sure. It's quick enough, but it's too heavy to punt through corners like a Golf GTI or something. It's a great tourer, though.

I haven't driven the R50 but the thought of it makes me very happy... twin turbo V10 diesel! Dad has had a diesel Q7 for years but unfortunately it's not the V12 diesel.

Bah, 300 and still doesn't get under 5.5s like the MK5 R32. My .:R was a perfectly good touring machine, but it let me down when it came to the haldex awd system, shifting, and general feel. Even fitting it with a new controller doesn't make up for the fact its STILL front wheel drive biased in the end. It's sad such good sounding, but wasteful engines are on their way out.

Congrats. I miss my MkV GTI a lot, and the MkVIs look great. I'm really hoping the Golf R makes it here in five-door form and is not terribly expensive (though I'm sure it will be).

Got flashed at APR today. 2 program ecu + delimiting and intake. Waiting til 1k miles to switch over to 93 mapping. Blast of a car and it's certainly a change from my MK5 R32.

If I were an APR dealer, I'd set up shop right next to a VW dealer and flag new GTI owners down as they left the lot. How does your new car compare to the R32, especially now that it's chipped?

Without the chip it's slow as gently caress. The brakes are in desperate need of an upgrade, possibly to AP pads or just moving to a decent BBK altogether. It's quite an adjustment from AWD, one I can't quite get over yet. You can feel the power loss when a bunch of people are in the car, and the engine becomes heat soaked quickly.

Barring that, it's a lot of fun. XDS kicks in and destroys any amount of torque steer, the interior is top notch, radio/mfd are definitely better than MK5. I'm 200 miles away from flipping over to APR maps, but I'm sure it's going to be a lot of fun once I do.

DC Radar SE's with green/teal instead of white.
