High-output power electronics generate more cabin warmth in summer cabin heat

The engine

Dual-Motor Electric

Dual-Motor Electric (quattro)

Audi's dual-motor EVs reinvent quattro all-wheel drive electrically — a motor on each axle juggling torque thousands of times a second for surreal grip and silent, surging pace.

Built on VW Group's PPE and J1 electric platforms (the latter shared with the Porsche Taycan), Audi's e-tron GT and Q6 e-tron carry quattro's rallying heritage into the electric era.

The RS e-tron GT shares its 800-volt J1 platform with the Porsche Taycan.
'quattro' is now electric — torque is split by software between two motors, not a mechanical diff.
