Audi used to be crazy in the late 2000s

- Who in their right minds would put a Lamborghini derived v10 engine in their full size sedan, which they detuned to make it more efficient, like there is anything efficient about a v10 engine.
And then they decided to strap two turbos to that engine and put it inside a sensible family estate, creating a monster with almost 600 horsepower, unheard of at that time.
And that isn't even the craziest part, right when the world was going into a financial crisis, Audi released a v12 diesel SUV with more than 1000 newton meters of torque, enough to pull a 30 ton airplane without breaking a sweat.

A real litmus test for intelligence is thinking $3.50/gallon of gas isn't cheap. Accounting for inflation, $3.50/gallon today is equivalent to $2.65 in 2016.

The best era of Audi products ever! V10 and 12 diesels, Lambo engines in sensible cars, and we cant forget the glorious 4.2 V8 in the RS4 and R8. Even the 5 cylinder was kept alive and sounding amazing!
We need that Audi back 😢
i wouldnt call an A8 or S8 in that case "sensible" it was (and still is) a top of the line halo product, the best they had to offer.
Ahh just a great design era, RS4 was perfect in how mundane yet great looking, the first gen R8s with their curvier design, really gave us one classy design, we even got the Audi R8 v12 TDI concept which imo looked awesome.
now audi's simply look like cheaper lambos having abandoned what made them unique
@@cj09beirathey are still great cars

Just for clarification: Lamborghini uses Audi everything (Engine, Trans, Supsension...) and not the other way around.
They both are within the same concern, that’s probably why.
@@mikopiko absolutely. The same concept is seen at Audi, Seat, Skoda and Volkswagen. Volkswagen produces all the Components, which are then used in those 4 Brands.
That engine was created for Lamborghini Gallardo, so it's Lambo engine used in audi. You can't call some Porsche parts wv cuz they're in one concern
@@kgb_cccp I would never call Porsche VW, elsewise i would have said that earlier. Audi made the 5.0 and the 5.2 Liter V10. The Gallardo and Huracan are renamed Audi R8's. That is not my Opinion that is the Fact. It's not just the Engine, even the Transmission and Suspension+ Brakes are the exact same. But yeah they put Lamborghini Logos on top wow
@@kgb_cccp even the wheelbase is the same because they are built an the same base plate.
The 2000s were peak VW. The V10 6 and 8, a VR5 as an optional engine in a no-nonesense Golf, that same Golf with AWD and a 3.2 VR6 in it, an eight cylinder Passat, a V10 diesel in the Touareg, the V12 disel in the Q7, a brand new Lamborghini V12, a sixteen cylinder hypercar motor, and 12 cylinder Bentleys with the same displacement as the old iron V8s with double the power
My daily driver is still a 2004 VW GTI 2.8L VR6, 6 speed manual... with the ordinal factory clutch! Definitely on the low end of the spectrum of engines you pointed out, but head and shoulders above what other compact cars had under the hood.
Don't forget about the compact S4s with them V8s as well🔥🔥
Don't want to spend V10 R8? It's alright get the V10 S6 Qauttro instead UwU that's what I loved about the V10 eras.
The s6 was a monster v10 5.2 quatro ave Maria
I owned one of the v12 diesels. Such a great engine, also a nightmare to fix anything on. That car cost me at least 10k a year in maintenance.
The diesel, well I remember back about 2008, I learnt from a newspaper article that Audi had won the LeMans 24 hour endurance race with their diesel, that only had a 5000rpm Rev limit, but made up for that with 585kw & a whopping one thousand one hundred newton meters of torque! These modern diesels are absolutely spectacular!
An Audi era worth remembering, unlike the current weed eaters.
the mid 2000’s were a crazy era for the germans, think about the C6 RS6, the E60 M5 or the W211 E55. I think modern day performance sedans just can’t give off the same vibe what these cars did
What about the early 40s
Facts.
yeah...back in the day instead of directly creating a sporty car they took a normal one and went "let's find out what happens when we throw a totally overpowered motor in there!"
Additionally todays cars are all synthetic sound. I drive an 18 year old Audi with just 130hp, and it sounds better than these modern exhaust fart cars.
craziest "German" car of all times will for ever be the Lotus Omega. The defintion o a sleeper. It was so fast, british gov wanted to ban it. Your chances of beating a Testarossa in an ordinary looking Opel were really, really good. If you ever found a Testarossa at the lights...

Fun fact, 1000 newton meters is just short of the amound of torque 2 lanzbulldog tractors can make
They actually had to limit the torque as they didn't have a gearbox at the time that could take the full torque from the engine
Imagine they would put the r10 tdi in a road car, that would be even more insane. Ofc detuned and road worty but 600-650hp and 1100Nm in 2010, could have been the SQ7 back than. Or even more insane a v10 like in the rs6. Yes, than it should had pulled a gas station behind himself but that is another story. The Touareg actually got the w12 engine back in 2008 I guess.
@@ferencfarkas9003 an Lanz Bulldog is an 70 Year Old tractor with 50hp from a single piston at a maximum of 850rpm, so yeah, it has got some torque numbers cars 70 years later are yet to break

The E in V10 stands for efficiency
Airplane tug car driver : *machine broke down*

Yeah, but the issue is, that it will be cheaper to just get the Lambo instead.
The Q7's V-12 is underperforming to prolong the life of the transmission, tires, exhaust, a the engine itself. While it will be cool to have 900 hp car with 1.5k newton meters or torque, it will be hard to sell a car with "3000 mile warranty".

Not quite. Audi would not have developed this engine without having Lamborghini justifying the business case.
@taylorc2542 according to who? Develpment started in 1988, it was originally going to be a V10. Massim Ceccarani, and Maurizio Reggiani were going to concede to a V8 until a larger displacement V10 was agreed on. Well before any VW influence. dont make shit up.

Btw they put that 5.2 v10 Audi engine into a Lamborghini
Nope. Lambo and audi V10 of that era is different engines.
1st v10 was created for gallardo and had displacement of 5.0 l, and it was proprietary for lambo and then r8. Later it was upgraded to 5.2.
In same time with that update, audi createt their own v10 for s6/rs6 C6 and s8 D3, but based it on existing audi 4.2 v8, and thats why lambo and audi v10s had different bore spacing. Oil and cooling systems completely different, same as internals like crankshaft.
Major parts between them are not interchangeable.
As a kid, Audi was my favorite automobile brand as they created some of the best cars in the industry. Unfortunately, that's not the case anymore.
Loool dude that airplane is way more than 30 tons 😂
Add another 20 tons and it'll be right
And I'm sure my corolla could pull it just as easily.
@@Dog_in_tree

The lightest version of the Sukhoi SuperJet 1000 is 24500kg of a little over 24 metric tonnes. So depending on the version it easily be around the 30 tonne mark.
@@skylined5534 it doesn't take much force to move a plane across a runway. A man can push 4,000lb SUV across a flat road by rotating the wheel with 1 finger. It's not just about weight.
Honda does similar things but with more complications like bike that revs upto 20k rpm, or inline 6 cylinder bike
Those were the best days of Audi!!!
The suv version of the suv had the v10 in diesel and the "v" 12 was a "w" 12 like the Bugatti "W16"- facts are all over the place-but the maintenance was so expensive no one can afford it making the used ones out of the question. Almost every moderate job required engine out to complete
In 1989 they built a full sized Audi 100 family sedan that could go 100km with just 1.8L of gas, that's 130 miles per gallon. 😮
My buddy had one. Not the most fun to drive, but it was very reliable and got us around. We didn't know we had a miniseries experimental car, just an Audi 100 with some weird quirks and everyone always thought we were full of shit when we told them the car just burns about 2L/100km.
The German Power wars are still happening.
I'm a BMW fan so know them more than Audi, but the M5 has gone from 285hp in its first iteration to 717hp now. Each new German super saloon has to beat the last one from its rival.

What i find hilarious is the fact they act like pulling a plane is a big deal. The equipment they use in the airport is powered by a 4 cylinder motor.

Is the Lamborghini V10 identical with the Audi V10? This was denied by Audi, in their official documentation for their 5.2 FSI V10 engine, as used in the Audi S6 and Audi S8 - the Lamborghini 5.0 V10 has a cylinder bore spacing of 88 millimetres (3.46 in) between centres, whereas the Audi 5.2 V10 cylinder bore spacing is 90 millimetres. Both companies developed their own V10.
On later Models Lamborghini used the Audi V10
Should’ve kept the nose candy!
It was not a Lamborghini V10, the Lamborghini even got other Cylindre spacing. This is the most false Information ever spread about the Audi V10. It shared some Parts, yes. But Audi developed their own V10 and Lamborghini developed their own V10 but used some Audi parts.
