Audi has unveiled the first images of the all-electric RS Q e-tron car which it will use for its maiden assault on the Dakar Rally in 2022.
The factory-supported Q Motorsport run operation has completed its first roll-out of the new car, which the brand hopes can take the fight to conventionally powered competitors on the classic rally raid in January next year.
Announced at the backend of last year, Audi’s arrival on the Dakar with an electric car marks the first entry to the event using alternative energy.
The prototype, which will compete in the new-for-2022 T1-E class for alternative energy vehicles, had its first run-out in Neuberg at the start of the month ahead of an intensive testing program across the remainder of the year.
