Audi has unveiled its latest off-road concept, the Q6 e-tron, which boasts impressive electric power and a rugged design. The vehicle’s looks are inspired by the Audi Quattro rally car of the 1980s, with its widened arches, roof rack, and powerful LED lighting. The Q6 e-tron is designed to conquer the outdoors, with two electric motors, one for the front and one for the rear, providing a total of 284 horsepower. The vehicle features redesigned axles, which improve power transfer to each wheel, reducing top speed to 108 mph but increasing off-road capabilities.
The Q6 e-tron was put through its paces on a 45-degree gradient, showcasing its ability to tackle challenging terrain. Audi’s CEO, Gernot Döllner, sees the vehicle as a reinterpretation of the Quattro, capable of claiming new ground and testing its abilities in the F.A.T. Ice Race held in Austria.
Although the Q6 e-tron is currently a concept, it is based on the production-ready Audi Q6 Sportback e-tron Quattro, which can be ordered now. The fastest SQ6 version, which is priced at £95,450, offers a taste of what the Q6 e-tron can offer on paved roads. While the Q6 e-tron is not yet confirmed for production, it has the potential to revolutionize the off-road driving experience, offering a blend of performance, technology, and style.
