First Drive: 2011 Audi Q7
2011 Audi Q7 - Audi Crossover SUV Review - Automobile Magazine
No more V-8.

For 2011, Audi will jettison its V-6 and V-8 engine in the Q7, and replace them both with its supercharged 3.0T V-6, in 272-hp and 333-hp strengths. Although this strategy might leave you scratching your head, the idea is to simplify the powertrain lineup while still preserving the idea of a base engine and a more powerful step-up offering. (The TDI V-6, by the way, will remain.)
