The new portal axles were completely designed from the ground up and integrated directly into the hub system.
- The Audi Sport team aims to demonstrate that the Q6 e-tron has true off-road capabilities, but in its standard form, it is not optimized for such terrain.
- It appears we only need a set of custom-made portal axles.
It is exclusively an asphalt-to-the-wheel system, despite featuring dual-motor all-wheel drive and considerable torque on launch.
Just for entertainment's sake, it would be ideal to drive a Q6 E-Tron on Moab's Hell's Revenge trail without making a fool of oneself, and then drive home in quiet comfort. I believe it would be desirable, and it appears that some people at Audi share this sentiment, given that they designed the extraordinary EV you can see in the photo gallery below.

First off, it has portal axles which increase the ride height of the EV by 6.3 inches and boost torque at the wheel by 50% compared to the standard coupe-like electric crossover. As Audi notes, the concept can now deliver a combined torque of up to 9,883 pound-feet for a 10-second peak—an increase of 3,245 pounds-feet over the production car. Again, this is measured at the wheel, which eclipses the effective output of the electric motors due to gear reduction.

To integrate them into hub assemblies on both front and rear axles. Conversely, fitting portals required modifying the suspension links to ensure everything was suitable for road use.
Audi declares the elevated Q6 E-Tron can ascend inclines of up to 100%, which is quite impressive. This doesn't mean it can scale vertically, as a 100% slope denotes a 45-degree incline.
“Audi’s Q6 E-Tron Offroad Concept is a reinterpretation of our flagship technology, Quattro,” said Audi CEO Gernot Döllner. “The model highlights the capabilities of our platform for all-electric vehicles that we have today.
