Default Whats with non Audi Q7 having a 3.0T badge when it is supercharged ?

Just a small thing I am curious about., I always thought Audi uses the T to designate Turbo charged ?

for example the Audi A4 badge is 1.8T, 2.0T or 3.0 (ie 3.0 has no turbo)

Not sure. Personally, I hate badge, I would just debadge the rear except for the 4 rings.

Its marketing, they don't want to confuse people. S could possibly imply S-line not necessarily supercharged so the T may mean turbo, but its really just forced induction all the same. Weather exhaust driven or belt driven.
