Nasser Al-Attiyah y los dichos de Sainz en la previa del Dakar 2023: “Carlos siempre trata de quejarse de muchas cosas, pero creo que Audi, Toyota y BRX serán lo mismo”
Este parece un clásico de todos los años, pero Carlos Sainz salió a decir que pensaba que los Audi tendrían una desventaja debido a que el peso mínimo de los prototipos T1 Ultimate (híbridos/eléctricos) se subió a 2.100 kilos y el de los T1+ se mantuvo en 2.000 kilos. Sainz señaló que eso significa que cuando terminen la etapa, al ajustar el peso de combustible llegarán con un auto mucho más pesado que las Toyota y los Prodrive Hunter. Y en el mismo clásico de todos los años, recibió la respuesta pública de Nasser Al-Attiyah diciendo que habla mucho.
“Saluden a Carlos de mi parte. Carlos siempre trata de quejarse de muchas cosas, pero creo que Audi, Toyota y BRX serán parecidos, quizás con un poco de diferencias eléctricas o de potencia” señaló el qatarí a un grupo de periodistas según reportado por Motorsport en una entrevista durante la jornada de Shakedown y verificaciones administrativas en el Sea Camp de Yanbu.
El qatarí señaló que su propio auto también tiene desventajas con respecto a los Audi, especialmente porque los T1+ recibieron una reducción de potencia para esta temporada: “Toyota tiene el tema de las marchas, y en cada cambio pierdes un segundo. Pero es similar, y por eso es bueno tener la nueva generación eléctrica. El rendimiento de Audi es muy alto y hemos perdido 40 HP” indicó el cuatro veces campeón del Dakar. “La potencia no es como en el último Dakar, pero es para todos. Parece que todos tenemos lo mismo, pero ya veremos, creo que serán las habilidades del piloto y del copiloto las que importarán".
Como si fuera poco, el qatarí de Toyota Gazoo Racing concluyó su opinión diciendo que espera que Prodrive y no Audi sean sus principales rivales en este Dakar 2023: “Para mí, el mayor rival será Loeb, no Audi, porque Seb terminó segundo en 2022, ganó en Marruecos y Andalucía”. Loeb no ganó en Marruecos, sino que fue Guerlain Chicherit, pero este si lo hizo en un Prodrive Hunter.
¿Quién tiene la razón en este cruce?

Manuel Andújar ganó por segunda vez el Dakar en cuatriciclos Manuel Andújar ganó por segunda vez el Dakar en cuatriciclos El piloto argentino Manuel Andújar (Yamaha) se consagró campeón del Rally Dakar 2024 en Arabia Saudita y logró su segundo título personal, luego de ingresar como escolta del francés Alexandre Giroud (Yamaha) en la última etapa realizada este viernes en la ciudad de Yanbu. El bonaerense, también ganador de la edición 2021, cubrió el recorrido total de la prueba, unos 7.891 kilómetros (4.727 cronometrados), con un tiempo acumulado de 64 horas, 16 minutos, 53 segundos. Finalizó con una diferencia de 7m.59s. sobre el francés Giroud, que buscaba su tercera coronación consecutiva después de lograr el trofeo en 2022 y 2023. El podio de la división quads lo completó el eslovaco Juraj Varga (Yamaha). Giroud se impuso en seis de las doce etapas del Dakar 2024 pero no le alcanzó ante la regularidad del argentino, quien se clasificó entre los tres primeros de cada día y administró con una estrategia perfecta la distancia conseguida. Con emoción por su logro, después de abandonar en las últimas dos ediciones, el argentino envió un mensaje a quienes "dicen que la categoría de los cuatriciclos está desapareciendo", sin reparar que "fue la más competitiva este año", pese a terminar con sólo siete participantes sobre los terrenos árabes. Andújar, de 27 años, aportó la octava estrella en la categoría que tiene a Argentina como país más ganador. Las seis anteriores fueron logradas por Marcos Patronelli en 2010, 2013 y 2016; su hermano Alejandro en 2011 y 2012 y Nicolás Cavigliasso en 2019. En la categorías motos, el argentino Kevin Benavides (Red Bull KTM) ganó el último parcial y finalizó cuarto en la clasificación general, detrás del nuevo campeón, el estadounidense Ricky Brabec (Honda), el botsuano Ross Branch (Hero) y el francés Adrien van Bereven (Honda). El salteño, consagrado en 2021 y 2023, lideró la última etapa con un tiempo de 1h.48m.40s. para completar los 328 kilómetros (175 cronometrados), por delante del australiano Toby Price (Red Bull KTM) y su hermano Luciano Benavides (Husqvarna), quien completó el podio, dos puestos por arriba del riojano Diego Gamaliel Llanos (KTM). Luciano finalizó en el séptimo lugar de la general y no pudo descontar la desventaja que tenía respecto de Price para igualar sus mejores actuaciones históricas en la carrera: dos sextos puestos logrados en 2020 y 2023. Por otra parte, el español Carlos Sainz (Audi) no dio lugar a la sorpresa y firmó por cuarta vez su coronación en el Dakar, que había quedado como un simple trámite el jueves, después del retraso del francés Sebastien Loeb (Prodrive). "Estoy muy contento por ganar, especilamente con este coche tan especial, tan complicado de poner a punto, con tanta gente que no creía en él y en el último intento de la marca (dejará de competir en el Dakar)", destacó Sainz, en el pasado campeón con Volkswagen, Peugeot y Mini. "Si estoy aquí a mi edad, todavía a este nivel, es porque trabajé duro antes y no he dejado de creer en mí mismo. No ha sucedido así porque sí. Voy a saborear esta victoria y a pensar en los próximos pasos de mi carrera durante las semanas que viene", adelantó. El madrileño, de 61 años, repitió la gesta de 2010, 2018 y 2020, esta vez escoltado por el belga Guillaume de Mevius (Toyota) y el propio Loeb, que venció en el segmento de este viernes y aseguró su presencia en el último escalón del podio. El argentino Juan Cruz Yacopini (Toyota), décimo este viernes, terminó el rally más exigente del mundo en el 28° puesto del clasificador global.

Luxury and premium automakers have an electrifying lineup of new vehicles coming for the 2023 model year. From all-electric flagship SUVs to 1000+ horsepower supercars, these upcoming releases set new benchmarks for technology, performance and interior indulgence. Keep reading as we count down the 10 most anticipated luxury and performance models making their way to dealerships. What Makes a True Luxury Car? Before diving into the top new luxury vehicles for 2023, let’s examine what qualifies a vehicle for luxury or premium status in the first place. Key characteristics include: Supple leather upholstery, open pore wood trim and other upscale interior materials The latest technology like augmented reality navigation, digital instrument clusters and built-in entertainment Powerful yet refined engines that deliver smooth, effortless acceleration Compliant suspensions that provide a supple ride without excessive body roll Meticulous attention to detail and build quality throughout the cabin Brand prestige built on decades of engineering excellence Unique exterior styling cues and design flair Extensive list of standard amenities and personalization options Sophisticated safety systems like night vision and autonomous emergency braking The most luxurious models offer rear seat accommodations truly fit for royalty. Now let’s see the luxury vehicles coming in 2023 that push the boundaries further. 10 Most Exciting New Luxury Vehicles Arriving in 2023 1. Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV The electric EQS sedan won't be the only battery-powered Benz on the block for long. An SUV variant arrives in late 2022 offering room for seven, up to 300 miles of range and an optional performance model. The hypercreen dash spanning door-to-door steals the show. Expect seating comfort fit for first-class air travel. 2. BMW 7 Series BMW 7 Series The 7 Series luxury flagship gets its most dramatic overhaul in decades. An electric i7 joins the lineup touting up to 300 miles of range. Design-wise, massive new grilles and futuristic split headlights modernize the look. For traditionalists, Alpina produces an ultra-lux B7 model with over 600 hp from its twin-turbo V8. 3. Porsche 911 Dakar Porsche 911 Dakar Storied off-road rallies like Paris to Dakar inspired this 911 with added ground clearance and suspension lift. It's still road legal but optimized for absorbing big hits and drifts. Porsche limits production to just 2,500 examples globally, meaning early sellouts are certain. Deliveries start in late 2023. 4. Ferrari Purosangue Ferrari Purosangue After years of speculation and spy shots, Ferrari's first SUV breaks cover in late 2022. Don't call it an SUV around Maranello though, where Purosangue translates to "Thoroughbred." Details are scarce but output should rival the 812 Superfast. Maintenance costs likely approach those of the LaFerrari. Phone your Ferrari dealer now if you hope to acquire one. 5. Audi A6 e-tron Audi A6 e-tron The next generation of Audi's tech-laden executive car goes fully electric in 2023. A flat floor allows a spacious, sustainable luxury interior. Look for dual-motor AWD, 300+ miles of range and ultra-fast charging. RS performance models are imminent. Avant wagon variants should also join later. 6. Rolls-Royce Spectre Rolls-Royce Spectre Rolls-Royce makes a bold claim that this $400,000+ ultra-lux EV is the spiritual successor to the legendary Phantom. With 577 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque on tap, it's no slouch. Rolls also promises the most intelligent vehicle system ever, down to the Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament automatically retracting at speed. 7. Lamborghini Aventador Successor Lamborghini Aventador Successor Lamborghini's next flagship supercar has huge shoes to fill following the Aventador. Rumors point to a plug-in hybrid twin-turbo V12 pumping out over 800 hp. Dramatic scissor doors and spaceship styling will distance it from Lambo SUVs roaming shopping mall parking lots.
8. Aston Martin DBX707 Aston Martin DBX707 This year Aston Martin turns their DBX SUV into a super SUV with the brutal DBX707. An uprated twin-turbo 4.0L V8 generates 697 hp and 663 lb-ft of torque, rocketing this luxury family hauler to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds. Expect tighter handling and meaner styling to match. 9. Lotus Eletre Lotus Eletre A 600 hp electric hyper SUV is the last thing you'd expect from Lotus. But the Eletre delivers supercar acceleration under four seconds alongside four doors and a high-tech vegan interior. Upcoming variants promise closer to 1000 hp and sub-3.0 second 0-60 sprints. 10. Alfa Romeo Duetto Alfa Romeo Duetto Alfa's return to the US brings a modern take on the iconic Duetto Spider convertible. Retro-inspired looks, an available manual transmission and RWD handling promise to make this a driver's car. Track tuned Quadrifoglio models will sit range-topping with up to 500 hp on tap.

Retorno de Audi al Dakar en duda por ajustes del reglamento
Audi tuvo un desastroso Dakar 2023 en el que no pudo luchar por el triunfo luego de grandes accidentes de Carlos Sainz y Stephane Peterhansel y variados problemas mecánicos para Mattias Ekstrom. El revolucionario proyecto del prototipo híbrido Audi RS Q e-tron ha logrado emparejar a Toyota y Prodrive en algunas etapas, pero no ha resistido en competencia en ninguna de sus dos presentaciones dakarianas. Ahora, Audi no tiene claridad de que quiera continuar invirtiendo en esta plataforma luego de considerar que los reglamentos no los favorecen en el Equilibrio de Tecnología o Performance.
Este es un tema que ya fue polémico durante el mismo Dakar, cuando en plena carrera, FIA y ASO le reajustaron la potencia a Audi con 8 kW extra (10,7 HP) para la Etapa 5 luego de evaluar la telemetría de las primeras cuatro etapas. Esto motivó fuertes declaraciones de Nasser Al-Attiyah en redes sociales diciendo que estaban casi ensuciando la carrera y regalándola al rival. No duró mucho esto, ya que fue en la Etapa 6 donde tanto Sainz como Peterhansel quedaron fuera de carrera, en algo no relacionado con el balance de performance, pero que Audi aparentemente siente que fue por sus pilotos empujando más allá de las capacidades del auto por un injusto equilibrio tecnológico.
Actualmente, Audi se encuentra en conversaciones con FIA y ASO para lograr un reglamento más justo para los T1.U como el RS Q e-tron. En declaraciones con Marca, Rohl Michl de Audi Sport calificó las negociaciones como constructivas, pero a pesar de esto, Audi no tiene planificado participar en ninguna prueba del Mundial de Rally Raid FIA W2RC al que se habían inscrito, salvo por ahora el cierre en el Rally de Marruecos y no está asegurada su participación en el próximo Dakar.
Carlos Sainz ha señalado que si Audi está presente en el próximo Dakar estará con ellos, pero ya se ha abierto a correr para otro fabricante buscando su cuarta corona. Los otros pilotos del equipo han sido habilitados para correr para otras organizaciones esta temporada, con Mattias Ekstrom disputando el Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge en la clase T3 con South Racing y ahora Stephane Peterhansel anunciando una carrera en motos con una Yamaha Ténéré en la clase Experience en el Morocco Desert Challenge.

Sven Quandt, jefe de Audi, responde a Nasser Al-Attiyah.
Las declaraciones de campeón qatarí no sentaron bien en gran parte del bivouac, pero escocieron especialmente en el equipo Audi, donde tanto Mattias Ekström, como el jefe de equipo Sven Quandt respondieron directamente a la publicación en instagram de Nasser. Ahora, Al-Attiyah se enfrenta a una posible sanción por parte de la FIA, ya que la misma organización puso el tema en manos de sus…
