Just in case you thought the new
Q7 V12 TDI wasn't ridiculous enough with its 757.5 lb-ft of torque, Audi has made this nautically-themed Q7 Coastline Concept. Though we've gotta say that while this thing certainly is a land yacht, Audi missed the boat by not
fully capitalizing on the maritime theme. First off, any
ego-stroking self-respecting yacht owner needs a
captain's hat, and plainly there is none such haberdashery included. There's also a very embarrassing lack of a "
tender" vehicle; you would think that with all that V12 TDI torque you'd at least be able to tow along a
Rinspeed sQuba or two. And while all the dark smoked oak trim is nice, we also wish the
steering wheel was wooden with external spoke-handles. Oh, and the gear selector should be a big, brass lever. However there is one extravagance the we really like on the Q7 Coastline: the sun deck, which is just perfect for catching a tan... oh wait, that's the roof.
