470kW Audi RS5, EV brand switches to petrol, Jetour’s Bakkie for SA!
In this week’s news, David Taylor shares all you need to know about the brand-new Audi RS5, the brand’s first performance plug-in hybrid. Will this new powertrain be enough to beat the BMW M3 Touring and Mercedes-AMG C63? It certainly looks the part…
In the second story, it’s rare for a new-energy brand to change strategy and start using petrol engines but that’s exactly what happened with Ora. The 05 was an EV, but the updated model will be using a turbocharged petrol engine and is confirmed for South Africa.
Finally, Jetour has been hard at work. With the popularity and interest in the T1 and T2 soft-roaders at skyhigh levels, people are asking what’s next? Well, its looking likely we’ll see a Jetour bakkie launch in South Africa in the next 18 months. We’ve seen the patent filings and trademark applications, so full steam ahead!
