The gigantic Q8 isn"t all Audi"s brought to this year"s Detroit Motor Show. This is the SQ5, the fast version of its midsize Q5 SUV. Like the S4 and S5, the SQ5 has the 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 with 354bhp and 369lb ft. That"s actually less torque than the outgoing SQ5 Plus, which in the UK is only available with a biturbo V6 diesel with a whopping 516lb ft. Power is up, but only by 14bhp. This means the new, petrol-powered SQ5 is some 0.3 seconds slower to 62mph than the diesel (5.4 plays 5.1). Those unduly concerned with such matters should rest assured a diesel version will follow.
