OC Baby!
We picked a Q5 up a few weeks ago. Was waiting to detail the car prior to taking pictures.

The 140 BHP model is 9.3 seconds 0-60. The 177 BHP model does it in 8.1. He will be needing a 2.0 TFSI (210 BHP) to do 0-60 in sub 7 seconds.

Stats off the VW UK website

I won't be needing a 2ltr TSI just to clear any issues with what i have & what speed it can do.

It's a 170bhp TDI GT remapped to 205bhp & it has been officially clocked at 7.1sec for 0-60 at the gti international 1/4 miles drag in 2012 ( where the pic came from) i think i could got sub 7secs but it was the first time doing the 1/4.

I can post a pic of the results if you like :)

----------

I thought the Scirocco was rated around 51 mpg (imperial)? (5.4l/100) which is closer to 42 us mpg

also thought the 2L diesel was closer to a 9s 0-60.

This is also helped by the fuel saving element of the remap :) i normally average around 50-60mpg but have had it up to 70 for a 200 mile journey :cool:

----------

I get 0-60 in 2.8 seconds & a top speed of 195mph. And if I concentrate on my driving:

Thats is seriously fast :D not many cars are that quick even at the shows i go to :eek:

Are you on Audi World forums? pics look the same as the thread there and your name matches... nice car! I have a PBP/blk interior 2.0t myself... 2013... i love it

That's me! I almost went with PBP, great color. Great to meet another Mac/Audi fan. :cool:

The more I see Audi DRLs the more I regret not optioning them on my A5. I'll have to do something about that once it arrives...

It definitely helps set the Audi's apart from most cars. Unfortunately, most car makers are jumping on the bandwagon. I saw a Buick the other day with LED DRLs - takes some of the specialness out of it. :rolleyes:

That. Is. Beautiful.

Thanks! If things go as planned, I am hoping to be 260hp/250tq RWHP in several months. If not, I will still be wearing its shoes into the tarmac. A few more suspension modifications to the subframes too....and maybe a dry sump setup. Though now there are quite a few enthusiasts asking if it's for sale....and it always is for the right price. A 911 Carrera 3.2L could convince me.

Just an updated picture of my I30. Cleaned it well enough today that even I was surprised how nice the interior came out for a 13 year old car. At least I'm not at 50k miles yet :D

Picture taken with my iPhone 5 and I thought it would have come out a little better. Should at least borrow my friend's D60 next time.
