The Audi Pikes Peak quattro was a sport utility vehicle concept car. It was created by German premium automobile manufacturer, Audi.
The Pikes Peak quattro was first introduced at the 2003 North American International Auto Show. The Pikes Peak quattro was named after the famed hillclimbing course, Pikes Peak, which they had taken overall wins and broken records during the 1980s, because of the off-road capability of their "quattro" cars.
The Pikes Peak quattro design was developed into the Audi Q7.
[edit] Engine, performance, and design
The Pikes Peak quattro uses two twin-turbocharged 4.2 L Gasoline Direct injection V8 engines. These engines each develop 500 horsepower and 465 pound-feet (630 Nm of torque, and features DOHC with 5 valves per cylinder. Acceleration is 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds, while the top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph (250 km/h). The Pikes Peak quattro is well-suited for off-road use with its high ride height, quattro permanent four wheel drive, and power rack and pinion steering.
