Audi has revealed the weight-saving measures for its Dakar contender ahead of its second attempt at the event in 2023.
Audi became the first major manufacturer to embrace Dakar's new T1U regulations for electric and hybrid cars earlier this year when it entered a trio of RS Q e-trons for Stephane Peterhansel, Carlos Sainz and Mattias Ekstrom.
The German manufacturer acknowledged the consequences a heavy car has on driveability and agility and made it a key area of focus while developing the updated Audi RS Q e-tron E2 model for 2023. "We had an excel sheet with 12 or 13 pages where we had all the parts written down to where we could gain some grams there, some grams here.
The French driver said Audi is going in a"good direction" with the development of its rally-raid car and is no longer fighting against time to be race-ready, as was the case last year.
