Many passers-by followed the emotional performances full of joy and curiosity.Madrid, Paris, Stockholm: The three Audi driver teams passed the most beautiful landmarks in the respective capitals with the electrically driven prototype. The royal palaces in Spain and Sweden or the Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Cœur in Paris were just some of the numerous stops on the three routes. At selected locations, the RS Q e-tron also gave a spectacular demonstration of the power of its 263 kW (358 hp) electric drive during drifts. Again and again, many passers-by turned to look at the eye-catching car, marveled, took photos and asked for autographs, which the pro drivers and co-drivers were only too happy to give.
