The Dakar Rally is one of the most challenging automotive events on the planet. Originally run in Europe and Africa, the event is now run in different places around the world. Audi, part of the Volkswagen Group, is planning on entering the 2022 rally with an electric drivetrain.
Audi has been out of the rally world for a while, focusing on other motorsports, but they have a long history in that kind of racing. Volkswagen had long experience with four wheel drive, starting with military vehicles. In 1981, Audi’s quattro technology revolutionized the sport.
