Audi RS Q e-tron on city tour - Audi drivers inspire Madrid, Paris and Stockholm

From the desert to the metropolises: Audi not only uses the future-oriented drive technology of the RS Q e-tron at the Dakar Rally but also specifically demonstrates it in major cities.

Following the highly acclaimed Hamburg tour a year ago, the program now included the capitals of the three countries from which the Audi factory drivers hail.

Carlos Sainz/Lucas Cruz traversed Madrid, Stéphane Peterhansel/Edouard Boulanger were on the road in Paris and Mattias Ekström/Emil Bergkvist steered the innovative low-emission prototype through Stockholm.

Many passers-by followed the emotional performances full of joy and curiosity.

Madrid, Paris, Stockholm: The three Audi driver teams passed the most beautiful landmarks in the respective capitals with the electrically driven prototype.

The royal palaces in Spain and Sweden or the Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Cœur in Paris were just some of the numerous stops on the three routes.

At selected locations, the RS Q e-tron also gave a spectacular demonstration of the power of its 263 kW (358 hp) electric drive during drifts.

Again and again, many passers-by turned to look at the eye-catching car, marveled, took photos and asked for autographs, which the pro drivers and co-drivers were only too happy to give.
