Default SQ5 Top Speed Video

I'm really looking forward to the delivery of my first Audi and first new car in over 7 years. I wouldn't do this but I guess it's worth watching someone else do it...

I told the guy that made this vid he was a spanner when he posted it over on Audizine...
Keep speeds like this on the track.

Nothing wrong with speed in the right place, here's a nice video of a Q5 3.0 APR stage 2 which shows our SUV's have a fair amount of "sport" in them. The SQ5 stock would be a little off the pace probably same as mustang 5.0 and tuned a little faster.

That Q5 is another Audizine regular - he sold it a couple of months before Xmas though.

I'm all for speed - just as you say, in the right place - and 155mph on the public road is not that!

I know Scott, he raced his Q5 and has a Golf R that he also takes to the track which runs 11.x. He got a Golf TDI to replace the Q as he needed something that allowed high mileage for his long distance commuting.

For people that want to try going fast, here's a great way to do it. I'm hoping to try the 1/2 mile run this year myself. I think Scott's going to try the southern version.

I like it! I will probably never see that on my car, but I like it!

Audizine Makes perfect sense. I wouldn't want to go 155 in a SUV. A good car or good motorcycle, sure. But a tall, top-heavy SUV with a short wheelbase? Just itching for a spectacular disaster!

That's a little scary. I went up to 120mph LEGALLY in my SQ5 on the AutoBahn. It was pretty amazing how effortlessly it got up to 120 without having to push it at all. Plus with the weight of the car, the car didn't feel flimsy at those speeds.
