The Q7 (internally
designated Typ 4L) utilizes a modified version of the PL71 platform. The
Q7 is designed more for on-road use than for off-road use where a specialized
transmission - having transfer case - is needed. Development began in 2002
under the code AU 716, primarily focused on the Pikes Peak Concept. Design work
was frozen for the Concept in July 2002, for presentation at the NAIAS 2003.
The production design was frozen in late 2003, for a late 2005 start of
production. Prototypes went into testing in December 2004, with development
concluding in mid-2005. (Audi Q7, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Audi_Q7&oldid=675058455 (last visited Aug. 8, 2015).)
Several years ago,
when I discovered the 1/24th scale Welly models, I felled in love with this big
car: Audi Q7! I bought it instantly and I put it on the work bench. The treatment:
California Look, so this means a flashy paint-job, big chromed rims and light colour
leather for the interior.
The result you can see below:
