In its 45-year history there’s never been an “easy” Dakar Rally. And for 2023 the world‘s most iconic off-road race didn’t hold back on its label as one of the toughest battles on the planet. Audi Sport knew things weren’t going to be easy. It was all part of the deal when the famous four rings signed up to one of the greatest challenges in motorsport, endeavouring to break new technological ground and accelerate its electrified future in the process. Having competed for the first time in 2022, Audi Sport was no longer a rookie; the Neuburg outfit had a year’s worth of experience, multiple stage successes and an Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge win under its belt. Plus, for this year, a lighter, more aerodynamic and fully optimised version of its RS Q e-tron – the unique, daring and brain scrambling Dakar racer with an alternative drive concept that combines an electric drivetrain with a high-voltage battery and a highly efficient energy converter. The updated RS Q e-tron proved its inherent speed with 14 stage podiums and three days spent in the overall lead, plus a stellar reliability record that showed electrified powertrains can comfortably battle with more traditional internal combustion engines on sand, in floods, through mountain passes and over enormous desert dunes. But after winning the Prologue on New Year’s Eve, coming first in a further 14 stages, and completing 8,895km of driving through the heart of Saudi Arabia, Audi crossed the finish line and ended the 2023 Dakar with a sense of unfinished business. “The Dakar showed that it’s one of the hardest races in the world,” Rolf Michl, Managing Director of Audi Sport, said. “This year, it was really tough. Your world can change within one day. Of course, it was the decision that Audi Sport went to the Dakar to prove that electrification can stand up to these hardest of conditions. The technology works very well. For me, the end of the Dakar Rally 2023 is really the beginning of the preparation for Dakar 2024. Our preparation starts now. For sure, we will be back even stronger!” Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N isn’t finished. The noises it’ll pump into the cabin aren’t finalised yet. Its pumped-up bodywork is hidden under a garish shrink-wrapped disguise. Inside there’s a sporty new steering wheel and sporty bucket seats… which we can’t tell you about. So, why are we in the Arctic Circle, invading Hyundai’s secret testing programme for its new 600bhp, £70,000 hot hatch? Well, this is a big one: the first all-electric N car, and an EV that promises more than just straight-line performance. Hyundai’s engineers insist the effort they’re making up here means this car with corner, steer and drift like a proper performance hero. To find out how they’re getting on with that sizeable task, TopGear magazine’s Ollie Kew has been to investigate, in his thermal underwear.

Porsche’s big SUV has had a revamp. There are new engines, suspension and slightly crisper looks. Up until this point you may’ve seen the screen-tastic interior. You may’ve observed its multitude of screens, some of which the driver can see, and one of which they cannot. You’ve seen the new vents and the starter button. You’ve seen that the heater controls aren’t buried in the touchscreen, and thought ‘hurray!’ Well, here’s the bit you couldn’t see before: the outside. And it’s… a Cayenne. Sharper headlights and grilles up front, and a lower home for the numberplate at the back. What, were you expecting a design revolution? From the company that brought you the 911? Where the engineers have been busy is underneath. The standard suspension’s been tweaked: new valves in the dampers mean the Cayenne’s apparently comfier at low speeds, and better controlled when you’re going quickly. Spec optional air suspension and you’ll apparently now notice more of a difference between the Normal, Sport and Sport Plus settings. More concerned with how the car behaves in Nuremberg than the Nürburgring? Then enjoy the fact the Cayenne is now clever enough to know when it’s going into a tunnel and automatically turn on its cabin air supply filtration system, to catch any pollutant particles entering the car and getting breathed in. Speaking of air quality, you might want to drive your Cayenne around emitting no pollution out of the tailpipes now and again. So, the £76k V6 plug-in hybrid version’s had a proper update. The motor is more powerful, boosted to 176hp, the battery is more efficient, it charges faster, and you can go up to 56 miles on all-electric power. That’s twice the claimed range of the old plug-in Cayenne. The engine department has been busy rummaging under the bonnet too. For £67,400, the entry level Cayenne is now 350hp twin-turbo V6. The £80k Cayenne S has graduated back to a 4.0-litre, 474hp bi-turbo V8 good for 0-62 in 4.8 seconds. There’ll be a Cayenne Turbo along in a while, but the ultimate Turbo GT version; Porsche’s answer to the Lambo Urus Performante and Aston Martin DBX707 is being dropped from Europe, because of emissions targets. Naturally you’ll still be able to buy your Cayenne in more rakish ‘coupe’ flavour, which costs around £3,000 extra. Still hungrily digesting Cayenne facts? Okay then, here’s a good’un: the lightweight package, which adds things like a carbon fibre roof to your two-point-something-tonne SUV, shaves 33kg off the kerbweight of a Cayenne Coupe. Crucial stuff. Want some more Cayenne facts? Then hit play and let Top Gear Magazine’s Ollie Kew be your guide.

Gordon Murray's astonishing £2.8m T.50 is a 963kg, 654bhp three-seater that aims to right the wrongs of the McLaren F1. Not that it was famed for many. But 969 days after we got our first proper look at it, Gordon has given the car his official stamp of approval to bring development to a close, meaning we could finally have a go in it. Now, we don’t normally do passenger rides at Top Gear, but when three-time Indy 500 winner Dario Franchitti gives you a ring to ask if you want a lift, you don’t say no. Especially when it involves some flat-out runs so we can hear that naturally aspirated V12 scream as he works the six-speed manual gearbox. And – best of all – as it's a three-seater, it meant both Top Gear Magazine’s Jack Rix and Ollie Marriage could both have a go. And then pincer Dario with questions at 180mph.

More Flat Out In The £3m, 654bhp GMA T.50 V12 Fan Car | Top Gear Videos

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2iIWrpbdN4

Radford’s Type 62-2 reimagines a particular variant of the 1960s Lotus Europa, the Type 62. It’s based on the Exige chassis and has a 3.5-litre supercharged V6 in the back producing up to 605bhp. That’s mated to a genuinely wonderful manual gearbox, although you can have a twin clutch if you want. It’s good for 0-62pm in 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 186mph. But you’ll want to approach the Radford with caution. Because it has no driver aids. At all. Final pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but you can expect to pay around £500,000 for the version seen here. Forming part of the Radford team are former F1 champ Jenson Button and TV presenter Ant Anstead, mastermind behind the Type 62-2. Top Gear Magazine’s Head of Car Testing, Ollie Marriage, heads to Radford HQ to catch up with them and get behind the wheel on road and track.

It’s called the R5 Turbo 3E, and it’s a two-seat tribute to the Renault 5 Turbo and Turbo 2 of yesteryears. And unlike most concept cars that’ll turn heads and nothing else, this might just turn your stomach too because it’s designed for DRIFTING. Don’t be fooled by the all-electric powertrain: it’s rear-wheel drive courtesy of a motor on each of the back wheels, delivering a playful 375hp and 516lb ft. Renault reckons on 0-62mph in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 124mph, but stops short of predicting what range you’ll get from the 42kWh battery. Presumably, because you can’t get a WLTP rating when sideways… At 1.5 tonnes (520kg of that is battery cells) it’s a good deal heavier than the cars that inspired it, but a tubular chassis, protected flat base and FIA-approved roll cage should provide plenty of stiffness when engaging that impossible-to-miss handbrake. Which Top Gear Magazine’s Ollie Marriage wasn’t allowed to touch. But that doesn’t mean we didn’t drift it.
