Audi is preparing to launch a rugged electric off-road version of it Q6 E-tron Sportback according to new images from SEMA News sources.

Spotted in Germany, the prototype is noticeably taller and wider than the standard version of the SUV and is equipped with beefy Toyo Open Country M/T tires. Although it is camouflaged, the vehicle sports a custom body kit, including wide fender flares, new front and rear bumpers, unique LED lighting and a roof rack.

SEMA News sources recently snapped new images of an all-electric Range Rover testing in Germany.

Although it looks nearly identical to its gas-powered sibling, the prototype has a yellow "battery electric vehicle" sticker and is rumored to be powered by multiple electric motors with performance on par with the V8 engine in the current Range Rover.

Details are sparse, but sources said that the Range Rover EV is expected to maintain the brand's hallmark comfort combined with off-road capability.

The Audi RS5 sedan was recently spotted by SEMA News sources during hot-weather testing in Spain.

The prototype features a wider body than the standard A5 and an aggressive front design, according to the images, along with larger wheels, air vents and oval exhaust tips.

Unlike the current RS models, the RS5 has a second "fuel filler" cap on the left rear fender, suggesting that the next-gen version will be a plug-in hybrid. Set to debut in 2025, this would be Audi's first hybrid RS model.
