Audi RS Q e-tron E2 - Simplified controls - Easier cockpit and wheel change

The Audi drivers Mattias Ekström/Emil Bergkvist, Stéphane Peterhansel/Edouard Boulanger and Carlos Sainz/Lucas Cruz can look forward to their new workstations. The displays are still in the driver's field of vision and in the center console in the usual style, and the central switch panel with its 24 fields is also retained. However, the engineers have restructured the displays and controls. "The totality of all functions quickly creates confusion," says Florian Semlinger. "That's why, for the first time, the driver and front passenger can now select from four areas using a rotary switch." The "Stage" theme contains all the functions that are important in competition driving - such as the speed limiter in the sections with speed limits or the jack. The "Road" area contains, for example, turn signals and the rear-view camera, functions that are often in demand on the liaison stages. The "Error" selection is used to detect, categorize and catalog errors. "Settings" groups settings that are useful to the engineering team during tests or after arrival at the bivouac, such as detailed temperatures of individual systems.
