🗣️'The work that has been done is a brutal technological challenge, and that makes it special.' Carlos Sainz Sr says Audi has been 'brave' with its revised RS Q e-tron E2 for the 2023 Dakar Rally, which starts in Saudi Arabia on 31 December ⬇️

Audi held a presentation in Madrid on Tuesday ahead of Sainz and co-driver Lucas Cruz embarking on an 11th Dakar Rally together.

“We are not talking about doing laps in a circuit, we are talking about the Dakar. If it is already complicated for normal mechanics, for this type of [hybrid] vehicle is like science fiction.” “Last year, all the cars weighed the same, had the same power, suspension travel, but the hybrids and electrics have gained 100 kilos. In any case, it would have cost us a lot to lower that, and it's hard to understand how the regulations do it with a car like this.
