Audi Q7 v BMW M5 - by Autocar.co.uk

[KZWolf]

Why would someone build V12 Diesel engine? Arent diesel engines built to SAVE money not waist it?!

[johnniraj]

dayum son Q7 hauls ass

[Mejevoli]

Why compare the two? Why? 'cause this are the two cars you've got today? And you just forced it to be "similar"? :))

[crysty4all1]

that engine in a A6 will RAPE the M5 !!!! :))))

[Mejevoli]

@crysty4all1 Lol if it would fit...

[crysty4all1]

@Mejevoli if the S6 has a 5.2 Litre engine i belive that a 6.0 Litre will fit .don't u agree?

[Mejevoli]

@crysty4all1 s6? what point are you trying to make? I was talking about how ridiculous this review is :)) a v12 SUV vs a v10 saloon.. I mean why...

[andrew199700]

BMW - говно! Если бы тут взяли rs 6 она бы это говно как ни что дрюкнула

[hamzah510]

if u could have that engine in the a6 its would be awsome

[MrShark214]

i have to say...the Q7's V12 is amazing.

put it on a 1500 kg car and it will timetravel

[Babel368]

That's a pretty impressive diesel truck.

[XStalkerX22]

LA BMW ACELERO ANTES.

[TheJoeMB]

That torque can power a building no stress.

[SidoooAggrooo]

WAS FÜR M POWER? DES IS EIN JEEP IHR HABT JA KEINE AHNUNG PEINLICH FÜR BMW!

[razveee4u]

M Power

[samozvanecc]

not a big difference in time, i expected m5 a lot faster than any 4x4

[MillionairJoe]

the keyword for me was diesel............

[slovakzpo]

Q7 keps up with the M5? WOW! very nice SUV

[SukhySs]

i test drove the Q7 V12 and all i can say is if u have a weak heart stay away from it, cus the power in that Q7 will give u a heaart attack

[yyoU8s]

Amazing V12 Diesel

[run4urmony]

sport mode in a 3 row suv.. what has this world come to..

[gogge100]

Audi is like Manchester City in football coming from nowhere working with 7 other companies and there owner is Volkswagen and still Audi sucks huge horse cock.

Please you cant compare cars like Bmw and Mercedes with a shit car like Audi scumbags!!

[ReiTirona]

@gogge100 clearly u dont have a fucking clue you bitter cunt. audi coming from nowhere?! yea, they only have the best and most advanced 4WD system in the world, which theyve been developing for decades. not to mention that they have some of the best diesel engines on the market, and their cars are some of the most reliable ones out there, nothing much youre right. do some fucking research before you ridicule yourself next time u fucking retarded troll.

[DjTerrorstyle]

@ReiTirona I wish I could speak as good as you do, so I can argue better (damn -.-..)

However, I totally agree with that what you said!

Regards from Ingolstadt

Dj-Terrorstyle

[ReiTirona]

@DjTerrorstyle i couldve gone on and on, but ran out of space. i didnt even mention that they changed the world of rally completely, and won le mans 24 with a diesel... more than once. tbh though, he just seems like he hates audi for no reason. alot of people seem to put them down just because they dont have the fastest track times etc, load of crap really. the RS models are amazing engineering. they'd all wish they had a quattro next time theyre driving their beemer in the rain/snow. :D

[DjTerrorstyle]

@ReiTirona as I know, Audi won since 2006 every Le Mans 24 Race with the (as you told) Diesel engine! Thats purely amazing :-). Yeah, I don't know why so many people don't like Audi, maybe because Audi is getting better as the "beloved" BMW / Mercedes? However, one thing I don't like is the heaviness, e.g. the Audi RS 6. Nearly 2 tons, but accelerating like a typhoon - haha. The RS models are good, specially the TT rs, love this car :-).

Regards to Great Britain / North Ireland

[ReiTirona]

@DjTerrorstyle completely agree with you about the weight part. but its changing. the new a6 for example has full alloy chassis. 1 thing they do need to change imo, apart from the weight, is the position of the engine. not that great for handling. would have better balance if it was further back. personally i prefer the RS5. i would love to do a road trip around europe in one of them ;P gruesse aus london

[DjTerrorstyle]

@ReiTirona indeed. They already try to make cars with less weight. I'm curious to see the next Audi's. I went outside 10 minutes ago and saw something what you may like. Here some pictures

1. imagebanana com/view/sdf0k1b1/Foto0392.jpg

2. imagebanana com/view/r2gv172g/Foto0393.jpg

3. imagebanana com/view/qm5w1r00/Foto0394.jpg

4. imagebanana com/view/mshmm0jo/Foto0395.jpg

I also saw a TT-S and a TT-RS and took some photos, but I wont upload, cause you specially like RS5 ;-).

[ReiTirona]

@DjTerrorstyle very cool, thanks mate :D. ive only ever seen 1 on the road, and that was only for a second because it flew past. i bet you see alot around Ingolstadt though

[DjTerrorstyle]

@ReiTirona you're welcome :-). Always when I'm going outside I see minimum a R8 or RS 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 (even the MTM r) or Audi Q's family or the Audi A7. For an Audi lover you won't go home, just staying outside and watching all the Audis driving around Ingolstadt. :-)

Cheers

[DjTerrorstyle]

@gogge100 seems like you don't have a clue how the economy system works. EVEN if Volkswagen is the owner, they are still rivals on the market!

[xxladnav]

fuck audi wannabe cars anyway!

[MrSoccernugget]

@xxladnav and i bet you drive a 1.6 civic

all german cars are good

[xxladnav]

@MrSoccernugget ha ha i drive a suzuki swift sport,who said i don't like german i just don't like audi

[MrSoccernugget]

@xxladnav whatever

[iamteased]

the m5 is pure power, the q7 is diesel + v12 + Twin turbo... the Q7 doesnt stand a chance when it comes to driving .... those drag races ... dude, ofc the diesel has the torque... but thats it, nothing else

[Mantua64]

@iamteased What is pure power?

[MegaBlackberryuser]

the old m5 isnt a twin turbo

[MegaBlackberryuser]

the m5 isnt a twin turbo

[xspade777]

@M335 i think he is talking about the 2011 M5 the 2011 M5 has a 4.4L V8 twin turbo but idk thats my guess

[patorniti19]

Audi 4 Ever !!!!!!!!

[SNAKE7PHIL7]

It's a SUV !! What a Test !!! :D :D

[norra124]

At first, I thought this test was stupid as well, but the thing is, they're trying to show us that Audi has made an SUV which can almost go as fast as an M5. He's not really comparing them, or at least not in any other way or form except of just speed, but once again, he's just trying to show us what Audi achieved.

[TheJoeMB]

M5 Baby!!!!

[einstein15101980]

stupid man in the Video , the weight of the Q7 is 2 times the weight of the BMW

[drava12]

@einstein15101980 actually the q7 is 2600 kg the m5 is 1820 so its not 2times

[MegaCashman1]

This is really a stupid test!

Thumbs up

[orangevirus2]

but not even any SUV let's be honest..

[orangevirus2]

rofl the Q7 can't even touch THE M5, //M cars are built for racing not even to think that a SUV is able to chalenge a M5, perhaps a more powerfull engine-SUV like X5.X6 or the Cayenne, which have hundreds of horsepower to balance the heavy weight.

[CracheLaHaine]

stupid 

[MrLaaandi]

@hazzymannhd1 Whats with the BMW M6 G-Power hurricane? ;)

[jonedetman]

Either the Bmw driver is a kid , or he did'nt toched the gass , just dropped the clutch..

[americanroute66]

stupid comparation

[abc123abc445]

stupid fuckers, don't know what to do...

[Sabikization]

The Q7 is perfect for the school run.

[HeavyStunk1942]

making a v12 diesel car is just bullshit , the purpose of diesel is to safe money, but why would i compalin if every audi loooks similar, like you would compare snowflakes

[hunker8]

Audi 4Ever, :)

[Plywalker]

Lol... an Suv that can keep up with an M5? Try that hummer!

[PhaetonPower]

why do they compare a van to a suv?

[ricardoeldelmustang]

Q7 cant match M5???? audi onion arrows can`t match BMW at all!!!!

[ArinOngunTV]

Whats a mum gonna do with a v12 500bhp. Fucking stupid.

[thekaizer666]

He said 800 KILOS MORE!! And it kept up with an M5?!?!?!? Holy shit!! New Q7 is a BEAST!!

[miketothesupra]

The Audi is one sexy car :D

[Veee8]

I agree with dino84 - this is a stupid test.

The M5 is way too techno geekish but a very serious sport sedan, the best in fact (I'll still take an XFR any day) The Audi pig SUV is a joke, a useless ostentatious vehicle with physics working against it....

[revfan54]

and plus a diesel of that hp and 25mpg rating is just unheard of, great job audi!

[yarbay38]

q7 est plus lourd ke bmw

[TheDailyChatter]

@ all commentaries - It's not a stupid test,it's a test between two very different cars with roughly the same price.And I don't think that "Q7 rules".Yes,the exterior looks better than it's competitors',but I'd choose a Merc over it anytime because I'm a huge fan of their aristocratic interiors.The BMW X5 doesn't look that good outside or inside,but it's got a reputation for being fun to drive and having excellent engines and dynamic attributes.Sincerely,I'd choose the M5 instead of the Q7.Peace

[kavesora]

stupid test

[zhatswallace]

1:52 it appears like a limo xD

Q7 rules.

[mrdiamondback1]

Well the Audi is bigger and weight 100 kilos more so that diffrence!

[subd9986]

suv vs sedan ?

[KiyoshiAugustus]

Audi Q7 vs Porsche Cayenne would be so awesome.

[Luanroxxsoxx21]

ahahaha bmw iss dirt.

How a full size Suv keep up with a m5?

LMFAO!

this is my favorite video yet.

[decotur89]

filho da puta burro comparação da porra....

[armebear]

the q7 is heavier than the m5 and its much bigger and clumsy, so what I am trying to say is that the m5 is shit, the q7 was very close

[DeStrucTorZ1]

lol u actualy compare a q7 with a m5 ..u said the q7 had diesel engine which ofc sucks thats why bmw won

[peterilku75]

they wont put this Q7 against the X5 or X6 because the bmw would stop production on those cars after the result!!!

[wheelsweekly]

So he calls himself an auto journalist? a few phone calls and he pits whatever he has on his hands against each other. autocar's stupid.

[lvpd742]

@wheelsweekly is someone mad because they dont get as much views and subs. stop hating he's doing a lot better than you

[lr94rrcc]

put that v12 in a a6 with the DSG transmission and see who wins =D

[arczi01]

Polish cars are great!

[viteza5]

M5 sounds so nice..the audi to..

[MrSunshine232]

Q7 Rules!!!!!!

[Mantua64]

@MrSunshine232 What does it "rule"`?

[3984ja]

@MrSunshine232

Noop..........M5 rules;)

[SuperTamponBandit]

that cars an amobination costs as much to repair as its worth and before u net heros jump and carry on about it im working on one now. fucking shitbox

[LazBro123]

This guy wants to make BMW look good :P

[MrColdStove]

WTF?This test is none-sense! A big SUV vs a car?

[TheVtieg6]

@MrColdStove

Yes it simply to see how quick a SUV can be

[crazyfabio1]

ONly Gay can Drive bmw M5

[vladabih]

@crazyfabio1 Fuck you man, you wish you can have M5

[matfie]

twin turbo? the bmw m5 isnt a twin turbo...

[cabizquierdo]

@matfie no, the audi is v12 twin turbo (disel i think) the bmw m5 is tipical v10 normal aspiration

[SeigeCJ]

Well that Q7's on my list if Zombies attack :P

[borderlinemedia1]

this video is so shit

[NetCrack]

@sup3rcars that would be delightful, you're right bit afaik they canceled the R8 V12 TDI project :(

[marcus974ever]

but the q7 is much safe and you can tune it very cheap soo it croush the hell out of it

[Snoozinator]

Of course this test had to be done in the wet, so the Q7 wouldn't look to stupid. Seriously, the M5 is able to run with the first Gallardos (13,5 sec 0-200 km/h) and this joke one wheels called Q7 isn't even quicker than an Audi S3 (21 sec 0-200 km/h) . These cars are worlds apart - it's like putting a Golf GTI against a Porsche 911.

[NetCrack]

Love it! Love everything about it ... but I sooo hope that Audi will put the V12 TDI engine in a more compatible car, such as the A8.

[msdb320]

this is a stupid comparation

people can't think to compare a SUV with a familiary sports car! --'

stupid video

[XxNaSaHxX]

Eh this guy's an idiot. No M5 can hit 100MPH in 4.4 seconds. Infact, I don't think ANY road legal car can do that.

[dtaylorxdm]

He said it would it 100 mph in 10.4 secs. not 4.4.

[dtaylorxdm]

He said the M5 would hit that speed in 10.4 secs.

[decibelchild]

whats faster cayenne or Audi Q7 ?

[dixdino84]

what a stupid test,i mean u cant compare these 2 cars. diesel engine vs petrol twin turbo. Plus much much better aerodynamic of Bmw

[zuuman1]

@dixdino84 they are just showing how freakin fast the Q7 is, it is almost neck and neck with the m5 all the way.

[Mar35k]

@dixdino84

E60 M5 has atmo V10, no turbos (yet...)

[cabizquierdo]

@Mar35k i hope not

[waldhaus9988]

@Mar35k V10 in m5 never gonna have turbo.....the new one will but its V8

[Daumex]

@dixdino84 M5 doesn't have a turbo, let alone twin turbo....

[Alex250TB]

@dixdino84 Yes, it's a stupid test, but even so, the Q7 was very close to the M5, considering the fact that the Q7 is much heavier and less aerodynamic.

So.....AUDI RULES!!! :D

[polishluke010]

@dixdino84

it's a turbo diesel V12 vs a N/A petrol V10

[randombloke10]

@polishluke010 seconded and what a diesel... imagine that in say an R8...but not the concept

[tinleo333]

@polishluke010 yea but is 5500lb vs 3600lb

[smartcase435]

@dixdino84

BMW isnt a Twin Turbo, it has no Turbo.

[mandablyatskayapizdo]

@dixdino84 the is no turbo in bm

[emuaelson]

@dixdino84 bmw doesnt have any turbo idiot

[patorniti19]

@dixdino84 ahha in fact , they are comparing it, and the Q7 kept very close to the M5.. ;)

audi rules

[atami210]

@dixdino84

Its a twin turbo diesel vs petrol....

the NEW m5 will have a twin turbo

[dryan2]

@dixdino84 The M5 is n/a stupid. The Q7 is both diesel and TT.

[lbryan250]

@dixdino84 m5 doesn't have twin turbo

[BmwM6rulz]

Don't get me wrong i like Q7 V12 very much , but the M5 isen't in M mode :P

[Howie262]

Dam 700 lbs of tourque XD

FUCK

you coul HAUWL WITH THAT!

[W33Dblazer]

as a bmw owner i gotta say

puit that audi v12 up against x5 m or x6 m ;)

[Emerych135]

they make ridicolouse competition. what makes a sense to compere SUV to the normal sedan ?

they should to compere Q7 with X5

[jonny5777]

it does make sense as he was saying they are matched on power and the fact that it was a close race confirms the point

[syrop24]

I dream about Audi q7 every day. this film it's an evidence that audi is better than bmw m5. It's biger, has 4x4, and you can use this car in many ways. As far as i know Audi q7 v12 tdi is more expensive tham m5, unfortunately :-(

[adampaulda]

they're two completely different cars

[Ikilledyou123]

Why would anyone want a V12 4x4 ?

[jonny5777]

one reaseon only, to show off

[pepito060666]

Both are great cars , I really love them , I am a BMW owner for year and different models but sometimes I am affraid about Audi I don't know why, can anyone tell me theirs experience with Audi. I also like Land Rover but I heard a lot about theirs electrical issues.

[pauloararaquara]

This AUDI is just a Station Wagon with big wheels. That not has nothing of a SUV or Off-road! The AUDI could named it "AUDI A6 BW (Big Wheels)" soon!!! It´s a nonsense in the "Off-road philosophy"! It´s ridiculous! It can challenge a BMW M5 on a race, but can´t face just a mud track!

[InitialDAmine]

Wrong the Q7 has a complete diffrent plat form than the A6 and there is the A6 off road as a model (which shares alot with the normal A6).

Yes the Q7 is not really an afford car , that is not a problem of engennering but rather the market exigence for this categorie of cars such as the cayenne the X5 the ML ect

[maciej21xxx]

AUDI POWER!

[bannedgbg]

I would rather take the Q7 ... this is my fucking dream !

[788043933]

Vmax Audi Q7=596MpH !!!

[ringlol]

Can't wait to see the R8 with this engine yum yum.

[marcus974ever]

nah audi q7 2500kg m5 1.600

[blahblop123]

m5 is 1900 kg

[marcus974ever]

what ever its a different

[GreenJoe5]

Of course BMW wins.

[InitialDAmine]

what did it ever wins?

[TheMegaCONARTIST]

Put M5 in the boot of Q7, hook up X5 & X6 on a tow bar than pull them to car disposal dumping area. Audi all the way, anytime anywhere.

[haizahaiza]

Äpfel und Birnen.

[788043933]

Vmax Q7 =490MPH

[trytthisnow]

lol?

[sotaros93]

diesel can never win in a race vs petrol due to the lack of revs... at least not a race that begins from standstill...

[acorntechnique]

What a pointless video?

Why compare a large 4X4 with a sedan?

Compare like with like if your going to perform a comparison at all....

A Q7 with a X5 or or M5 with an A8.....

[memorex123456789]

M5 and A8 are different kind of cars. A8 is more like a business sedan. Better compare:

M3 -> RS4

M5 -> RS6

7xx(750i or whatever) -> A8

Car-review-shows often compare BMW M modells with Audis S modells, which is just totally stupid(RS is the reference, S is just a bit sporty standard audi).

[TheBabumushai]

unjust comparision

biased maggot

[athanatus]

Somebody please tell me about the name of the Q7's color in this video

Thank you ^o^

[sharludovico]

I think taht in the m5 they forgot to press the "M button"

[CRF250RGUY]

The idea of this is to compare two completely different machines. It think its quite intresting to see.

[bobbugol]

what a stupid comparison!

it's like a 140lbs person against a 200lbs couch potato!

btw, both awesome cars.

[MrMBMB89]

BMW ist einfach besser,schneller und sieht geiler aus......

und Audi ist einfach hässlich ....

[alwin1502]

bmw thaha rs6 von mtm und dann hat sich das erledigt audi forever

[mulvapig]

that's a stupid comparison !!!

[boulay090568]

no m5 have 507ch and q7 have 530ch!

[InitialDAmine]

and 800kgs diffrence .

[sktfourlif]

wtf they dont compare. if anything compare an rs6 audi

[khurram1987]

lol at the end he left the audi...

[edeltraut75]

BMW a lot better..hahahah...

[AONICK]

i think thats the same TDI V12 thats in the R10 and R15

[dennieb1]

I hate this guy, that stupid face with that annoying voice. I wish Autocar brought Chris Harris back, and replace this guy.

Anyway, i really like the fact that Audi come up with a V12 TDI for a SUV. A real 'F.U.' in the face of the Greenpeace Madmen. Brilliant. Despite that, i'd take the M5

[aussieeagle2512]

I think Mr. Harris is on Drivers Republic now, so you can still see him. I tend to put the review first though and if its got a interesting personality in the presenter then its a bonus, but was a good review though to see a glamourised tank keep up with what is virtually a legendary nameplate.

[systemvadown]

would like to see them re do that race in the snow....they'd need the Q to pull the BMW out after just 10ft

[bastuck69]

BMW RULES

[ekWagonn]

Q7 looks much decent

I'd take infinitiFX though

[alitakos69]

500hp is the audi but are you stupid diesel vs gasoline.if you want an suv race then take x6 M with 500 and race Q7 but not a light m5

[JoeyDuffy747]

I had a Q7 [ now a 2010 range rover sport hse] and it was fast! NO REALLY!

[thuglife4ever721]

Obviously this isnt a real race for all you people who keep saying bad comparison we ALL know this isnt a real comparison. This video is just trying to show you how fast the Q7 can go compared to a sports car. GOD DAMN.

That Q7 is a beast though. But I'd take the M5 please =]

[tinchoboisu]

this is stupid a supersport car vs a truck?

[Fufiloofa]

not bad for a "hippo"!

[mdoohan007]

cts-v kills that m5

[MrGermancarlover]

hahahahahahahahahAhahahahaahah­ahahah yo are a very stupid person ///M5 is the the best of the best lol when your shity GM comes outta bankrupcy come and lets chat about it

[greg12m3]

the m5 is now like 4 years old... so the cts v is beating a car that was developed 4 years ago......

[2fast2furious2fast4u]

i would have the audi
