Audi Q6 e-tron - Sport Performance

AS A CHILD, I loved Top Trumps. My favourite deck was Fast Cars, and I could tell you then - as well as now - that the Ford Sierra RS Cosworth takes 6.8sec to reach 60mph from a standstill and the Vector W2 concept pretty much conquers all.

I'm a car enthusiast, so those 0-60mph times and engine sizes will always be of interest, but as we enter the electric era, the new performance metric is charging speed. After all, it doesn’t matter what speed your electric car can travel at if it takes an age to top up its battery; in that case, you're going to arrive last.

Fortunately, with a maximum charging rate of 260kW, my Audi Q6 e-tron is positively F1-like. In fact, only a handful of models, which include the Lotus Eletre SUV and Porsche Taycan (cars with price tags pushing into six figures with a few options), charge faster.
