Audi has revealed a bold concept based on the Q6 e-tron electric SUV, showcasing the potential of its PPE platform for electric vehicles.

With a raised suspension of 160 mm and a widened track of 225 mm to accommodate robust tires, the model features new bumpers, five-LED lighting, and a roof rack.

Inspired by the portal axle system, similar to the Mercedes G-Wagon 4×4², the vehicle achieves greater ground clearance and allows for the use of large-diameter tires.

Under the hood, the concept retains the 510 hp of the SQ6 model but delivers an impressive 13,400 Nm of torque thanks to the new axle design, which provides up to 30% more torque than traditional versions. This performance enables it to tackle 45-degree inclines, reinforcing the concept as a vehicle built for extreme terrains.

Audi CEO Gernot Döllner highlighted that the Q6 e-tron off-road redefines the quattro system and demonstrates the versatility of its electric platform.

The model will make its debut at the FAT International race in Zell am See, Austria, on February 1st, suggesting that a more commercial version of this concept could be produced in the future.
