Iconic Group B moniker resurrected for second gen electric Dakar racer ⚡️
Evolution is so key to rally success that one of the most famous WRC cars ever has the word in its name. And Mitsubishi made 10 of them. The constant fettling here and tinkering there is what keeps racing cars at their best, and apparently that’s not going to change in the electrified era, as here is the E2 version of the Audi RS Q e-tron.
Consequently, the E2 doesn’t share a single body panel with the original RS Q e-tron, with a focus on shedding weight, improving aero and lowering the centre of gravity. It’s said that changes such as new front and rear ‘hoods’, a tapered design for the rear deck and removing some body parts altogether should reduce drag by 15 per cent. Improved airflow reduces the energy requirements placed on the batteries and motor, too.
Still, power isn’t as crucial on the Dakar as dependability and user-friendliness, so the changes to the air-con for the E2 are probably just as important. Yes, seriously. Audi says the AC was too good beforehand , and froze the coolant as it was always running at its maximum.
