Audi and Al Nabooda Automobiles say they are turning up the heat and drive with an immersive experience for motor enthusiasts at the CARS Café in Dubai Autodrome during this week’s 2023 Hankook 24H Dubai.
From 9 to 15 January, Al Nabooda Automobiles, the authorised distributor of Audi in Dubai and the Northern Emirates, are displaying iconic cars and new Dakar rally model in celebration of the race weekend.
Visitors attending the races can head to the CARS Café for a first-hand experience of Audi’s latest RS models on display. The showcase will be headlined by the RS Q e-tron, the high-tech off-road competition car, fresh off its win at the 2022 Dakar Rally. The car has been specially designed for rally conditions and makes its return to the UAE after its win in the 2022 Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge earlier this year.
Enthusiasts will also get a glimpse of the inner workings of a racing season and a chance to get up close with the Audi Sport support vehicle, which is used to transport Audi’s racing cars.
