Audi is ready to put its cutting-edge electric technology to the ultimate test — the legendary Dakar Rally. To ensure that it meets this challenging race's needs, Audi has created a purpose-built car for the rally, dubbed the RS Q E-Tron.
Even more impressive than its all-electric setup is how far it can go without needing to recharge, an absolute must when racing against time on Dakar's grueling 500+ mile stages. To make sure the RS Q E-Tron was up to the task, Audi pulled out all of its EV motorsport experience and installed a TFSI engine from its DTM program and electric motors from its Formula E series.
All geared towards giving this formidable vehicle 670 horsepower of power as well as enough drivetrain torque to traverse any terrain needed in Ha'il, Saudi Arabia—where the 2022 rally will start—and all through to Jeddah twelve days later. The groundbreaking hybrid RS Q E-Tron proves that no two Audis are ever alike. With absolutely nothing shared between it and any current production models that bear Audi's name, this fantastic automobile promises efficient yet powerful performance like no other vehicle before it.
Designed with sleek aerodynamics and courageous boldness in mind, this remarkable creation has set itself apart from other electric vehicles with its innovative features and astounding capabilities. All of which are certain to make an impression on everyone watching during this incredible, adrenaline-filled event.
