I finally get to put my new all-electric Audi e-tron SUV to the test at Swing Arm City! Swing Arm city is one of my favorite spots to hit, some of you may remember it from my off-road Gymkhana film dubbed Terrakhana. It will be interesting to see how the e-tron handles the wild incline of Knife’s Edge amongst other awesome features this place has to offer. Is 400ft lbs enough to party in an all-electric SUV? Hit play and find out, enjoy!

My Electric Car Fleet is growing! I needed something for all the awesome driving you can do around Utah, and with 490 foot-pounds of torque the e-tron SUV can get down. Snow slaying? No problem. Huck it in some dirt? Yep, it can do that too. Cruise downtown Park City to see some legendary artwork from Banksy? Most definitely. I’ve put my own personal touch on the car of course with some high performance wheels and tires, but it was my wife’s idea to put on the charcuterie board under the spare. No, really!

Meet the re-newed Audi RS Q e-tron : lighter, more aerodynamic, and more improved than last year. Can it win the Dakar? No longer rookies thanks to a year’s worth of Dakar experience and an Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge win under their belt, Audi Sport is more competitive and ready for this year’s Dakar Rally in Saudi Arabia. As soon as Audi got back from last year’s race (and quite a few showers later), the team started scratching their heads to make this year’s car (a ridiculously complex off-road buggy with an alternative drive concept that blends a Formula E’s electric drivetrain with a high-voltage battery and a highly efficient 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine from DTM to keep the battery topped-up) even faster. ‘Evolution not revolution’ was the mantra for the new car as the furiously complex drivetrain had no faults during its debut last year, proving that the car can finish the Dakar and be competitive. Even so, the whole car has been refined, made lighter and more aerodynamic. As you can see, the body is completely new and features significantly enhanced aerodynamics. It helps lower the prototype’s weight and center of gravity. To improve efficiency, there are a flurry of new operating strategies that benefit this complex car. Meanwhile, a load of ergonomic changes in the interior allow the dream team of drivers (Mattias Ekström, Stéphane Peterhansel and Carlos Sainz) and their co-drivers to navigate, change wheels and generally make the whole racing thing easier. The Audi Sport team is currently packing its bags and heading to the start line in a few weeks. Remember, the Dakar is a place where lap times are measured in weeks not minutes; an annual 6,000-mile off-road race and the ultimate test of how much a car and the human body can take. How does Audi think it’ll fair? Well, check out the video above to get a measure of its confidence. But we’ll leave the last words to Rolf Michl, Managing Director of Audi Sport GmbH and responsible for motorsport at Audi. “We wouldn’t be Audi Sport if we were there just to compete” To keep up with Audi’s Dakar effort, head to TopGear.com’s dedicated race hub: https://www.topgear.com/advertisement-feature/audi-dakar-2023 This is an Advertisement Feature by Audi Want to share your views with the team?
