Audi held a presentation at Carlos Sainz Karting in Las Rozas in Madrid ahead of Sainz Sr and co-driver Lucas Cruz embarking on their 11th Dakar together.
Its RS Q e-tron E2 is an evolution of the car that Sainz drove to two stage wins this year, but he was thwarted in his bid for overall honours due to navigational issues. Audi has improved the aerodynamics and reduced the car’s weight by up to 90kg, although it will carry a somewhat controversial weight penalty due to its hybrid powertrain.
