The Audi S1 e-tron quattro Hoonitron, a one-of-a-kind race car, is currently being hosted at the Future of the Museum in Dubai. The Hoonitron EV drift car was a collaborative effort between Audi and late legendary drifting sensation Ken Block and this display marks the debut for the EV drift car in the Middle East. The S1 e-tron quattro debuted in Block’s Elektrikhana film, where it drifted through the streets of Las Vegas. All four wheels have an electric motor each to put out 670hp. The Audi Hoonitron is one of several exciting Audi show cars to be displayed for visitors courtesy of the ongoing collaboration between Audi Middle East and the museum. This EV drift car will be stationed at the Museum of the Future for visitors to view until April 2023. 

Polestar adds a new special edition to the Polestar 2’s model line-up with the BST Edition 230 aimed towards introducing “more focus on the performance design details.” Hence, it features a new exclusive Green Nebula exterior paint with the option to add a full-length racing stripe. Some cabin elements get upholstered in microsuede with the use of recycled nubuck leather for steering wheel production. The BST Edition 230 boasts an output of 469hp, around 67 hp more than the standard Polestar 2 dual-motor. Other changes include a lowered ride height, stiffer suspension setup and the fitment of Pirelli P Zero tires, designed exclusively for the Polestar BST Edition. Prices for the BST Edtion 230 start from $80,900.

What you see here is a heavily wrapped electric vehicle that Audi calls the Q6 e-tron. It’s being tested in northern Europe and is already close to its production guise. The upcoming EV, slated to debut later this year, will be available in standard and Sportback forms, as we’ve seen with the Q8 e-tron and the Q4 e-tron. However, the Q6 e-tron will be the first of several planned models spawned by PPE – Premium Platform Electric. It’s a new architecture that Audi has developed in collaboration with Porsche. And one of the many flexibilities it’ll offer is an 800-volt electrical architecture. Audi has also confirmed that by 2025, it’ll introduce over 20 new models, of which more than 10 will be electric.
