Audi 's Q6 e-tron off-road concept is a "highly emotive reinterpretation of quattro " Portal axles are unusual for being directly integrated within wheel hub assemblies and for cranking up torque at each wheel by 50% .

A pair of electric motors combine to produce 509 horsepower.

Audi is playing coy on production possibilities, but we know this off-roader is ready to race on a frozen lake.

Ineos is surveying its customer base to determine the production viability of its Grenadier SUVs with portal axles that would cost an estimated $220,000 or roughly three times the price tag of a standard Grenadier .

Mercedes , purveyor of the big ol' Unimog , is the only automaker to attempt selling modern production vehicles with portals axles.
