With the world premiere of the Audi Q6 e-tron, the brand with the four rings is introducing its first

interview Complete F1 Power Unit runs on the test bench and has already covered simulated race distances Development at the Neuburg site with 22 state-of-the-art test benches Work on the Power Unit for Audi’s Formula 1 entry has been underway for more than two years. The specially created Audi Formula Racing GmbH (AFR) in Neuburg a. d. Donau is responsible for the development of the F1 hybrid drive (“Power Unit”) and has successfully completed the set-up phase. Together with the Hinwil facility, the team from Neuburg will form the future factory team with which Audi will compete in the top class in 2026. The Audi F1 Power Unit “Made in Germany” is making great progress behind closed doors. AFR CEO Adam Baker and AFR CTO Stefan Dreyer provide an insight into the current status. Work on the development of the Audi Power Unit for Formula 1 has been underway at the Neuburg facility since spring 2022. What has been achieved so far? Baker: After just two years, our Power Unit, consisting of a

mountain passes Dynamic duo: High-performance tires with more grip at high lateral acceleration or innovative tires with improved sustainability and optimized rolling resistance With the Audi RS e-tron GT performance, Audi is debuting its first fully electric RS performance model. The four-door coupé demonstrates bundled technical expertise – and Audi’s passion for details. Powerful, sporty, and confident, it reflects the brand’s high standards for developing and building cars. The RS e-tron GT performance is the dynamic flagship for electric mobility at Audi.

With 471 kW (640 PS) and 850 Nm of torque, the new RS Q8 performance takes the top position among models from Audi Sport GmbH An expressive exterior and new, lighter* wheels significantly sharpen the appearance of Audi’s most powerful SUV yet again With a time of 7:36.698 minutes, the RS Q8 performance sets a new best time for production SUVs on the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit Audi Sport boss Rolf Michl: "The RS Q8 performance owes its lap record to the interplay of the V8 engine and chassis components as well as the passion of the Audi Sport GmbH team for absolute

simulator driver for powertrain development Focus on concept work and energy management Simulator at Neuburg site as development tool for hybrid powertrain Audi is taking the next step in the development of the power unit for the Formula 1 project by signing a simulator driver. Swiss racing pro Neel Jani (39) is going to support the development of the Audi power unit with his versatile experience from various motorsport programs. An update of the dynamic driving simulator for the work on the Formula 1 hybrid powertrain is being run at the Neuburg site in parallel. In 2026, the brand with the four rings is going to enter the top category of motorsport. “Just like in production development, simulation plays a major role in our Formula 1 project. Our simulator is an important tool for the power unit development. It requires a development driver who in addition to a grasp of technology brings versatile experience to the project, especially in terms of energy management in racing conditions,” says

Nunam: Battery modules from Audi e-tron test vehicles electrify rickshaws in India Target group, women: Rickshaws to enable economic participation and provide a safe means of transportation Timo Engler Head of Training Automotive Engineering / Logistics at the Neckarsulm site: “Our team of trainees benefits from the intercultural exchange, the Nunam team from our know-how in battery electronics, charging time, and design – the result is a tuk-tuk with Audi’s DNA.” A second life for electric car batteries: The German–Indian start-up Nunam is bringing three electric rickshaws to the roads of India. They are powered by used batteries taken from test vehicles in the Audi e-tron test fleet. The aim of the project is to explore how modules made with high-voltage batteries can be reused after their car life cycle and become a viable second-life use case. The project also aims to strengthen job opportunities for women in India in particular: They will be provided with the e-rickshaws to transport
