42160 Audi RS Q e-tron

Hi,

I hope it is not a unallowed leak, since it is photo from catalog, if not @Jim please remove it.

What is interesting are tires. What do you think? Are they a new ones or just old tires from Big Red?

[SNIPE]

Aint those the same tires that are on the McLaren f1 car

I wonder if this has a 2 speed gearbox because there is a gear lever icon on the box.

The tires are indeed new, but I'm not sure about their size

Shoot, I'm (slowly) building a Dakar rally car at the moment, but with Unimog wheels.

[Thirdwigg]

Also the wheels are new in red now too. Finally, we will be able to make all those mid scale Claas tractors!

[Maaboo the Witch]

Oh look, another car.

Are those the same tires that were previously on the Batmobile?  Not the Unimog tires, but the smaller variant.

Possibly. These look slightly rounder though.

In the catalog they have a different thread than the Unimog, so I'm sure they are new

They look bigger compared to the size of the rims.

Finally some proper off-road tread pattern. But I'm tired of these race cars with tonns of stickers.

[Zerobricks]

Are those new hubs?

[SNIPE]

Wait are these not just the 1989 UCS bat-mobile tyres?

No, man. You can clearly see from the attached picture.

[DrJimbo]

Holy cow, that looks terrible. 
Just the Mars rover for me.

Usually that icon indicates an alternate control panel or user interface. 

I am going to have to come back to this and check it out a little better, sadly I am laughing so much, I can't see straight.

I hope TLG make new fast and powerful motor for this.

And it looks like 4wd. I can find one end of CV joint on front.

Those red pillar thing on next to fromt wheel can be new hub?

Am I the only one who does not feel any excitement towards this thing

No, you are not the only one.

[therealjustin]

Will these tires fit on the Ford Raptor?

Yes. Those red thing next to front wheel is new hub. And steering gear seems little big. In my eyes looks like 28t. <-Wrong. That is suspension spring...

New tire seems 81.5x28. F150's buggy tire is 75x28, 1989 batmobile's tire is 68.7x27, zetros's tire is 81x35.

Not only just new hub has higher mounting point, it looks like gearless hub which can accept new strong CV joint. Inside red square I marked, joint-hub connection point looks bigger than normal hub. And on the left side you can find part of new CV joint on there.

You can find very little yellow thing very next to rear suspension spring. It may be daytona's new diff.

Only I don't know is how TLG put motor on this car. on 4th picture in link above you can find 2 motor at near front of car. One of it seems like L for steering and other looks like XL. Those XL can also find in this picture and it's inside cabin.

But considering those batterybox which can find between door panel, Those XL is put right above of batterybox. But ususally TLG didn't do that.

This set costs 170$. Seriously. It's just a glorified 42124 with a license.

In blueprint it looks like there is something like battery box in the back.

81.5x29 is the tire size, not 28.
