German automaker Audi has introduced a truly epoch-shifting electric rally car that offers a mindblowing combination of power, speed and ruggedness that is designed to withstand the kinds of treacherous terrains and challenging driving situations that are associated with the Dakar Rally.
Set to compete at the 2022 edition of the Dakar Rally, the Audi 'RS Q e-tron' features an exceptional battery range of 800 kilometers on a single charge, which more than justifies the 370 kilograms worth of weight that is attributable to the battery alone.
Other highlights of this electric rally car include the use of high-tech software that keeps tabs on electronic torque adjustment, allowing for better weight distribution and control than conventional systems.
