The final test phase for the Audi RS Q e-tron goes to the Dakar with three star drivers
The Audi Sport team subjected the Audi RS Q e-tron to its final test in the south of France before the three crews took part in the legendary Dakar race.
The three Audi crews Matthias Ekström/Emil Bergqvist, Stéphane Peterancel/Edouard Boulanger and Carlos Sainz/Lucas Cruz made the final adjustments. The engineers’ priority before Audi’s third entry into the Dakar Rally was to further strengthen the strength of all components.
The three crews covered a total distance of more than 900 kilometers during the five-day test at Chateau de Lastour. “We have thus met our development targets and are now concentrating on the remaining logistics work until January,” said Rolf Michl, Head of Audi Motorsport.
Under the leadership of the technical director Dr. For Leonardo Pascali, the engineers’ focus was on confirming quality standards. The innovative Audi RS Q e-tron is characterized by its electric drive with high-voltage battery and energy converter. The battery system and other components had to pass the final endurance tests on the French Mediterranean coast.
“Logistically speaking, this location was ideal for our journey and enabled short response times when we needed something from Germany,” said Pascali, adding: “We looked at all the components and systems, both those that were there.” Previous model and were reused just like those developed from the beginning.”
At the same time, the drivers had the opportunity to reconfirm the RS Q e-tron setup and the Dakar Rally settings that they had developed over the course of the season on various terrains. Carlos, Matias and Stefan were happy as they even tested some spare parts on their cars.

1996 Formula 1 champion Damon Hill expressed his confidence in Lando Norris, believing that the British driver can win three or four championships during his career after his success last month.
Norris finished the 2025 season at the top of the standings, finishing third at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
This earned him a place on a list of world champions that includes only 35 drivers. It’s even rarer for a driver to win more than one championship, but Hill is confident Norris can extend his achievements to four or five trophies.
“He did that, and that provides a certain peace of mind,” Hill said.
“He will be able to relax to a certain degree. It all depends on your desire to win.”
I always thought it would be enough for Michael (Schumacher) to win one, two, three, four, five championships, but he went on to win one or two more championships.On the contrary, some people become more motivated and pursue new titles. I definitely think Lando is capable of multiple championships. “I think there are three or four more left.”
