• Slide 1 of 5: The debut of the E2 step of the electric prototype with range extender, begins the second phase of Audi's sports program in raids. In October, the team will prepare for Dakar 2023 in Morocco.
    • Slide 2 of 5: Audi RS Q e-tron E2 does not share a single body component with the first generation car. Although the new dimensions of the cabin result in a wider frontal section, thus less favorable fluid dynamics-wise, overall drag has been reduced by 15 percent.
  • Slide 4 of 5: Since it is not possible to draw energy in the desert, Audi opted for an onboard solution: the accumulator is replenished while driving thanks to the action of a range extender. Function, the latter, entrusted to the high-performance four-cylinder TFSI - turbocharged with direct gasoline injection - derived from DTM, the German Touring Car Championship.
  • Slide 5 of 5: Audi RS Q e-tron E2 can count on an optimized driving position. Similar to the first generation Audi RS Q e-tron, a display behind the steering wheel rim shows information regarding tire pressure, direction of travel and speed, as well as a series of warnings that allow the driver to react immediately in the event of a power failure or disconnection of the high-voltage battery from the powertrain.
