The Audi RS Q e-tron faces its third Dakar Rally. Team Audi Sport has optimized the pioneering rally prototype, that has an electric drivetrain, a high-voltage battery and an energy converter, in meticulous detail for the toughest rally of the year. The three driver crews of Mattias Ekström/Emil Bergkvist, Stéphane Peterhansel/Edouard Boulanger, and Carlos Sainz/Lucas Cruz are facing the most difficult task of the year with optimism, but also respect.

Like it or not, Audi know what they're doing and always did. They've been successfull in every motorsport series they went to, and it seems they will be in the Dakar as well. I wouldn't be surprised if in 5 years time or so, we have an Audi winning the F1 championship

Must be hard for the driver to get used to that loud constant rpm motor running on your back!

[@JACKOFALLTODD]

Sounds like the neighbor blowing leaves

[@agustinharriet8987]

It's only electric or hybrid? It's sound like have a petrol engine

[@DocDudix]

It has a petrol engine, but it only charges the batteries, it doesn't have any interference on the drive itself

I dont lieke e-car sound 👎

[@buellmax]

C'est vraiment de la merde, moche, bruyant, et Audi pleure pour avoir plus de puissance et on les y autorise. Tu veux jouer dans la cour des grands, assume ou donne toi les moyens, utiliser de l'argumentaire pour avoir des dérogations, c'est vraiment des petits joueurs.
