Audi Q6 e-tron Off-Road Concept

Audi has unveiled a new off-road vehicle capable of tackling any terrain. It is the Audi Q6 e-tron off-road concept that also features a new design language.

Although not much information has been released about this car yet, what can be seen in the photos are the thin headlights positioned in the upper front part, the closed front grille, thin daytime running lights located in the bumper, and four LED lights. The sporty look of this off-roader is contributed by the falling roof line that indicates that this is a coupe-SUV model, and not one of the crossovers from Audi’s fleet, and the wide wheel arches.

The car is equipped with a set of massive off-road tires, and the high ground clearance shows that this off-roader is capable of tackling any terrain. Audi did not reveal many details about the car except that it is an EV concept powered by two electric motors with a combined power output of 380 kW and can climb gradients of up to 100 percent thanks to its newly designed portal axles.

The new design also increases the torque at the wheels by 50 percent, which reduces the vehicle’s top speed to 175 km/h (108 mph). That’s plenty for any off-road vehicle, but it also allows it to climb slopes of up to 45 degrees.

“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. This vehicle can claim new ground. We look forward to seeing our customers’ reactions to this highly emotive car,” said Audi CEO Gernot Döllner enthused.

The car will be tested on February 1, 2025, at the F.A.T. Ice Race.

2025 Audi Q5 Sportback

In 2020, Audi introduced the mid-range SUV, the Q5 Sportback. Now the German manufacturer has launched the second generation of this model, which brings a more sporty design, better aerodynamics and more space in the cabin.

Compared to its predecessor, the new generation Q5 Sportback has a more dynamic sloping roof line. The singleframe grill is placed a little higher, and below it are large intakes with sensors. The design of the rear part has also been refreshed with a recognizable edge on the trunk lid, a diffuser integrated into the raised bumpers, digital OLED rear lights of the second generation and a new projection light in the spoiler above the rear window. The S model has twin round tailpipes with a brushed design.

The Q5 Sportback is built on the PPC (Premium Platform Combustion) platform it shares with the Q5 and A5 models. European buyers will be able to choose between three engine options. The first option is a 2.0 TFSI engine with 204 hp (150 kW) and 250 lb-ft (340 Nm) of torque and FWD. Quattro all-wheel drive is available as an option. The second option is a 2.0 TDI engine with 204 hp (150 kW) and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque and quattro all-wheel drive. The most powerful version of the SQ5 is powered by a turbocharged 3.0-L TFSI V6 engine with 367 hp (270 kW) and 405 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via the S tronic 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

When it comes to price, in Germany the Q5 Sportback will cost 54,800 euros, while the starting price of the SQ5 Sportback will be 85,400 euros. The order book will open at the end of the year .

2025 Donkervoort F22 Final Five

Dutch ultra-lightweight carmaker Donkervoort has unveiled the last car to be powered by an Audi engine, the Donkervoort F22 Final Five. That doesn’t mean they’re giving up on internal combustion engines, but it’s not known which engines will replace the Audis.

The F22 Final Five is powered by a 2.5-L 5-cylinder engine with 500 hp (368 kW) and 472 lb-ft (640 Nm) of torque, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. It can reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 2.5 seconds and has a top speed of 290 km/h (180 mph). The same engine powers the current generation Audi RS3, as well as the most powerful version of the retired TT.

It is equipped with a carbon body with removable roof panels, a titanium exhaust system ending in front of the rear right wheel and lighter carbon-ceramic brakes, so it is not surprising that it weighs only 716 kilograms. It is mounted on 18 and 19-inch carbon wheels.

When it comes to price, the Donkervoort F22 Final Five costs 315,000 euros and only 5 units will be produced.
