The Audi Q6 E-tron off-road concept is ready for winter driving

Audi has revealed a new dual engine Off-road electric vehicle concept Based on Q6 e-tron Which looks ready for a snowy apocalypse. The automaker has built a working prototype that raises the car by 6.3 inches and widens it by 9.8 inches, giving it a stance that wouldn’t be out of place if it showed up at Truck Country USA.

Audi CEO Gernot Dollner describes the Q6 E-Tron off-road concept as a “reinterpretation of Quattro,” the company’s marketing term for all-wheel drive models.

The extra ride height is thanks to four custom portal hubs integrated into the wheel hub assemblies front and rear that Audi says increases torque to the wheel by 50 percent. Each axle is powered by an electric motor with a total power of 380 kilowatts and up to 9,883 pound-feet of torque at its peak. That’s 3,245 lb-ft more torque than the regular Q6 E-tron, and is the first Audi built on Volkswagen’s Premium Platform Electric (PPE) platform (also used in New A6 e-tron And the Porsche Macan EV).

The car is designed to climb hills as steep as 45 degrees, but the company has lowered the Q6’s top speed slightly to 108 mph. However, no one should drive that fast anyway in a vehicle that climbs that high. This also makes the off-road concept more realistic compared to Audi’s more sci-fi concepts like the Active Sphere Coupe/Minivan Package With a mixed reality cockpit or the awesome all-terrain “AI:Trail.” Drones for headlights.

The Audi Q6 E-tron off-road concept will be on display at the show FAT International Ice Race In Austria on February 1. The company will also showcase this in action across its social media channels.
