As a big fan of mighty, large, huge koppelrijke diesel engines made my heart a little jump upon hearing the news that the VW group to be actually something with the V10 TDI from the Audi nanuk Concept is going to do. Thrice hooray!

Honestly say: who would have expected that after the Touareg/Phaeton V10 TDI and the Audi Q7 V12 TDI ever have a dieselblok with more than eight cylinders would? I do not, in any case, but apparently the engineers are confident that they have the 5 liter engine Euro 6-compliant’.

With the arrival of a Bentley SUV, a larger Q7, but also possibly the next-generation VW Touareg and Porsche Cayenne (dare we also Urus to say??) are there sufficient full-size SUVS, which on the European market to be a beast of a dieselblok sense, especially for those who have the oil above gas prefer (and we still do not agree on, for example, the Flying Spur had. Simply delicious with a smooth eight speed automatic transmission and the needle is constantly under 2,000 rpm’s Europe, whether in the Netherlands or ride the Pyrenees.

In the nanuk got the engine 544 hp and 1,000 Nm specified, +44 horses, and as many Newtonmeters as the old V12 TDI block is yielded, and generously more than the previous V10 TDI. Bentley seems to be there all laps to ride, as experienced Car Nepal from a source within the VAG group.

Still a few years wait (we guess approx. 2016), and who knows, we may have a unique block on the European market. We are pleased that this can still between all throttled engines.
