Audi SQ7 by JE DESIGN
JE DESIGN’s proposition for the Q7 looks
like something begging to be trail hooned, but the German tuner didn’t take the
big SUV out of its comfort zone.
Don’t let the rugged wide-body kit fool
you, as its presence only emphasizes the Q7’s already imposing appearance. The
visual add-ons consist of a front apron, fender extensions, side skirts, rear
skirt inserts, roof spoiler and spoiler lip, making it look like a bigger A6
Allroad, fitting the whole range of the model equipped with an S-line exterior
– including the potent SQ7.
The overall aspect is so massive, that
it actually makes the new JE DESIGN 10 x 22-inch rims (wrapped in 295/30 R22
tires) look small, even with the special adapter spacers.
To match the exterior, the tuning
company reworked the powerplants as well, offering a 54 PS and 85 Nm
increase for the 3.0-litre TDI engine, bumping its power to 326 PS and
685 Nm of torque, while an upgrade for the V8 Tri-Turbo TDI (equipping the SQ7)
is already in the works; expecting it to boast 522 PS by the time JE
DESIGN is done with it.
Aiding the performance gains are two
possible tailpipe alternatives; a quadrangular version or the optional round
variant. Both are designed as dual tailpipes with a duplex arrangement.
