The powertrain of the 2023 Audi SQ8 e-tron has undergone some substantial changes. Trimotor electric vehicles are still difficult to find,

however Tesla and Lucid will eventually produce them, so enthusiasts should take a closer look at the Q8 e-tron series.

The SQ8 e-tron features a more powerful three-motor electric powertrain that produces 496 horsepower despite sharing a base with the Q8 e-tron.

This is more than sufficient to transport and handle the large EV. SQ8 e-empty tron's weight is 5,842 lbs.

The top-tier SQ8 e-tron has two rear motors that improve torque vectoring and boost agility.

Because there are two electric motors, the SQ8 e-tron may mimic a torque-vectoring differential by

supplying extra energy to the outer rear tyre as needed to enhance handling.
