The TDI units start with the 2.0-liter unit making 170 hp with 258.15 lb-ft between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm. 0-62mph = 9.5s and Top speed = 126.76 mph, however, average fuel consumption of just 6.7 liters per 100 km (35.11 mpg) is significantly better than the TFSI engine.

The strongest engine is the 3.0-liter V6 TDI unit which delivers 240 hp with a whopping 500 Nm of torque available between 1,500 and 3,000 rpm.0-62mph = 6.5 s, Top speed = 139.81 mph. On average, the three-liter engine consumes 7.7 liters of fuel per 100 km (30.55 mpg).
All three engines sound to offer very good performance and excellent economy. I remember posting the details of the new 7sp gearbox on the site and I believe it's capable of handling 550Nm of torque so your source is probably right in thinking that it will make it's way into this car.

Quattro3, is that the torque-vector system current on offer with the X6?
