Motorsports is the last place you would expect to hear about sustainability. Perhaps even less so at endurance races, where cars at full belt for up to 25 hours straight, testing both man and machine through day and night.

And back in 2020, it was a groundbreaking offering with its 48V mild-hybrid system and plush and feature-packed interiors. Despite its renowned refinement, fuel efficiency, and tech, the first-generation Azkarra that we have today is already six years old. And that is already ancient in car speak.
