Audi has unleashed a new monster diesel SUV

Audi's high performance diesel
prototype racers have decimated its competition on the race tracks for the last decade.
Now, Audi is taking its high-
performance oil-burning tech and
dropping it into the company's flagship Q7 SUV to create the new SQ7 TDI.
Under the hood, the SQ7 comes
packing Audi's new 4.0 liter, twin-
turbocharged, diesel V8 engine with an electric compressor.
The result is a luxury SUV with 435
horsepower and 664 lb. ft. of torque
while achieving a manufacturer
claimed 32 mpg.
According to Audi, the SQ7 is good for a sprint to 62 mph in just 4.8 seconds and an artificially limited top speed of 155mph.
That's impressive for such a large high-performance crossover SUV.
And much of this can be attributed to that new twin-turbo diesel V8.
The 4.0 liter unit utilizes sequential
turbocharging technology which
deploys one turbo for low and medium engine speeds and the other for high-end performance.
The two exhaust driven turbos are
augmented by a electric compressor unit that fills in any gaps in the engines' performance envelope. Since the compressor cuts out any delay time the turbos need to spool up, the system essentially neutralizes the dreaded turbo lag.
Although Audi and VW Group's diesel technology has been under great scrutiny in the past year, there's no doubting the capability and potential the company's diesel tech possess. As a result of VW's emissions scandal, sales of the company's TDI-powered cars are
on hold in the US.
However, it should be noted that the scandal is centered around VW's smaller 2.0 and 3.0 liter powerplants while the large 4.o liter units have not been affected.
Business Insider had the chance to test out the Audi Q7 on which the SQ7 is based and found the large crossover to be quite a competent performer. With the 4.0 liter turbodiesel, the SQ7 looks to be an impressive beast indeed.
Audi has yet to confirm whether the performance-oriented Audi SQ7 TDI will ever make it over to US
showrooms. The gasoline-powered Q7 crossover is currently on sale with a base price of $54,800.

Dangerous sex Positions For Men

The most common cause of pénile injury is found among the variety of potentially dangerous positions used for séxual intercourse. The most popular is the ‘woman-on-top’. This type of position can result in an impact between the pénis against the female pelvis or perineum that can easily traumatize the pénile cylinders. A pénis becomes érect when the lining of the cylinder within it is engorged with blood. A pénis fracture can occur when there is trauma to the eréct pénis, resulting in a rupture of the cylinder lining. This very painful injury is often accompanied by an abrupt, distressing cracking noise that is immediately followed by dark bruising of the pénis due to blood escaping the cylinder. In ten to 30% of pénis fractures, the urethra is damaged and blood may be visible at the urinary opening. Given these signs, an injury should be relatively simple to diagnose, right? You would be surprised, even with the unsettling sounds of a fracture occurring, many men...

Google Authenticator, a formidable layer of protection to your account.

Google Authenticator is a free security app that can protect your accounts against password theft. It's easy to set up and can be used in a process called two-factor authentication (2FA) offered on popular social media services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. The app ( iOS / Android ) generates a random code used to verify your identity when you're logging into various services. The code can technically be sent to your phone via text message every time— but the Google Authenticator app provides an extra level of security. SMS-based 2FA has a known security flaw , and any devoted hacker can attempt to socially engineer an attack against your phone company. The Google Authenticator app eliminates the possibility of an SMS-based attack using algorithms to generate the codes on your phone. Here's how to set it up: 1. Download Google Authenticator from either the Apple App Store or the Android Google Play store. It's free. 2. Nex...

AWS Battles Rivals: Advertising Campaign

Amazon Web Services has defeated IBM in a competition for lucrative federal contracts, threatened Microsoft's core businesses, and reshaped corporate technology. In the last few months, the pioneering cloud-computing unit of the online retail giant has taken a page from the playbook of some of its more traditional competitors: It started advertising. Ads have been splashed across billboards and in airport terminals, television spots and web videos, featuring a whiteboard full of sketches of software architecture and appeals to invent something using Amazon's collection of rented computing services. The advertising campaign, which bears the "Build On" tagline, represents a milestone in AWS' march from technology upstart to one of the major players in business software, technologists and marketers say. For many years, AWS didn't advertise, partly because it didn't have to. The service held a wide lead over the competition, and word-of-mouth was enough to...
