Transformed Title: Unlock the Aggressive Off-Road Potential of Audi’s Q6 E-Tron Concept
Audi’s Q6 E-Tron Off-Road: The Off-Road Adventure Begins
Audi takes the essence of Quattro to the next level with its newest prototype, the Q6 E-Tron Off-Road. This all-wheel drive electric SUV checks all the boxes of a SEMA Show-ready concept: big tires, big lift kit, and big roof-mounted lights. But this isn’t just a showstopper – it’s a real deal, with big climbing capability that’s sure to impress.
The Q6 E-Tron’s Power
The Q6 E-Tron rides on Volkswagen Group’s new global EV platform, the Premium Platform Electric (PPE). On its own, the standard Q6 E-Tron offers luxury comfort and premium performance. But where the off-road concept goes, you don’t need roads or trails or even a flat surface.
Portal Axles Take the Lead
Equipped with newly designed portal axles, the Q6 E-Tron Off-Road increases the amount of torque sent to the wheels by 50 percent. Conventional portal axles only increase torque by 20-30 percent. On the Audi off-road concept, the combined torque at all wheels is a staggering 9,883 lb-ft.
"This Vehicle Can Claim New Ground"
"We’re not just reinterpreting Quattro," said Audi CEO Gernot Döllner. "The Q6 E-Tron offroad concept is a reinterpretation of quattro. The model shows the potential that our platform for all electric vehicles already has today." Potential is a keyword we love to hear, especially here.
The Q6 E-Tron Off-Road: Not Just a Showstopper
The Q6 E-Tron Off-Road is equipped with dual motors for a combined output of 380 kW (509 horsepower). It features a wider track (by 9.8 inches) and a taller ride height (by 6.3 inches). This isn’t a display model – it’s ready for adventure.
Join the Off-Road Fun
The Q6 E-Tron Off-Road will be part of the ice racing action at the upcoming F.A.T. Ice Race to be held at a frozen lake in the Austrian Alps on February 1.
