The Audi e-tron GT quattro, launched in 2021, has become the benchmark for electric, sporty vehicles in Audi’s lineup. This four-door Gran Turismo is renowned for its compelling design, robust drive system, and dynamic handling. The latest iterations of the e-tron GT significantly enhance range, performance, charging capabilities, and handling, underscoring Audi’s commitment to innovation and excellence. The RS e-tron GT performance marks Audi’s first fully electric RS performance model, pushing the boundaries of what an electric vehicle can achieve. These new models are available for order now.
Performance and Innovation
“With the e-tron GT models, we are setting new standards in performance,” says Gernot Döllner, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG. “The increased charging power and electric all-wheel drive ensure improved long-distance capability and considerably more performance. The newly developed chassis offers an unprecedented range between driving comfort, ride comfort, and driving dynamics.”
Striking Design and Advanced Technology
The new variants of the e-tron GT series seamlessly blend progressive design with state-of-the-art technology. Each model has a distinct look:
- Audi S e-tron GT: Exhibits elegant sportiness with a homogeneous, expressive front end. The black mask around the fully closed, inverted Singleframe grille reflects the e-tron design language, while a body-color strip above the Singleframe enhances its sporty appearance. The redesigned air curtains and aerodynamic rear diffuser add to its visual appeal.
- Audi RS e-tron GT: Boasts a more aggressive front end with an RS-typical 3D honeycomb structure. The apron framing the black mask opens downwards, giving the vehicle a lower stance. The rear diffuser, featuring vertical fins and a body-color inlay, echoes motorsport elements for a sporty, dynamic look.
- Audi RS e-tron GT performance: Stands out with unique design elements, including an optional matte, darkened carbon roof and carbon camouflage elements exclusive to this model. These features emphasize the vehicle’s high-performance capabilities and advanced technology.
Corporate Identity and Color Options
The new corporate identity (CI) enhances the e-tron GT family’s exterior with a premium-quality, two-dimensional design of the four rings. Nine exterior finishes are available, including solid Arkona White and metallic or pearl effect colors like Ascari Blue, Daytona Gray, and Mythos Black. Exclusive colors for the RS models include Nimbus Gray and Bedford Green. The optional Black Optics package adds dark Audi rings and high-gloss black elements for a more refined look.
Interior: Sportiness Meets Sustainability
Inside, the e-tron GT models feature redesigned seats, steering wheel, entry sills, and digital content. Sustainable materials like Dinamica microfiber and Cascade fabric, made from recycled materials, are used extensively. The RS models include optional massage functions and an exclusive design package with Serpentine Green stitching. The new steering wheel, with its flattened top and bottom, and upgraded seats with dynamic funnel aperture design add to the sporty, high-tech ambiance.
Advanced Audi Virtual Cockpit and Panoramic Roof
The Audi virtual cockpit provides real-time information on battery temperature and charging power. The RS models feature RS-specific displays, and an optional panoramic glass roof with PDLC technology offers an innovative way to control sunlight and opacity, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.
Powerful Electric All-Wheel Drive
The new e-tron GT models are powered by permanent-magnet synchronous motors (PSM), delivering exceptional performance:
- S e-tron GT: 500 kW (679 PS), 0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, top speed of 245 km/h.
- RS e-tron GT: 630 kW (856 PS), 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, top speed of 250 km/h.
- RS e-tron GT performance: 680 kW (925 PS), 0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, top speed of 250 km/h.
The redesigned electric motors and optimized cooling systems enhance efficiency and power, while the new boost function in the RS models provides an additional 70 kW for short bursts of increased performance.
Lightweight Battery and Enhanced Charging
The high-voltage (HV) battery has been lightened and its energy density increased, offering a gross storage capacity of 105 kWh. The improved charging system allows for a maximum charging power of 320 kW, enabling a 10-80% charge in just 18 minutes at high-power charging stations. The thermal management system ensures optimal battery performance even in low temperatures, making long-distance travel more convenient.
Sophisticated Suspension and Driving Modes
The newly developed air suspension with 2-chamber/2-valve technology, along with optional active suspension, provides a perfect balance between comfort and driving dynamics. Audi drive select offers multiple driving profiles, including efficiency, comfort, dynamic, and RS-specific modes. The optional all-wheel steering improves agility and stability, enhancing the driving experience at both low and high speeds.
