Redefining Electric Performance
“The RS e-tron GT models set new standards in performance,” says Gernot Döllner, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG. “With increased charging power and electric all-wheel drive, we’ve improved long-distance capability and significantly boosted performance. The newly developed chassis provides an unmatched balance between driving comfort, ride comfort, and driving dynamics.”
Aggressive Design and Advanced Technology
Each variant of the RS e-tron GT family boasts a distinct and aggressive design:
- Audi RS e-tron GT: Features a striking front end with an RS-typical 3D honeycomb structure and an apron framing the black mask, giving the vehicle a lower, more dynamic stance. The streamlined rear diffuser, echoing the three-dimensional efficiency elements of the front, further enhances its sporty look.
- Audi RS e-tron GT performance: Stands out with unique design elements, including an optional matte, darkened carbon roof and exclusive carbon camouflage components. These elements emphasize its high-performance capabilities and advanced technology, making it a true standout in the lineup.
Enhanced Exterior with New Corporate Identity
The new corporate identity (CI) enhances the RS e-tron GT family’s exterior with premium-quality, two-dimensional four-ring designs. Exclusive colors like Nimbus Gray and Bedford Green are available, along with an optional Black Optics package that adds dark Audi rings and high-gloss black elements for a refined, aggressive appearance.
Sporty and Sustainable Interior
The interior of the RS e-tron GT models combines sporty elements with sustainable materials. Redesigned seats, steering wheel, entry sills, and digital content reflect Audi’s commitment to both luxury and sustainability. The use of Dinamica microfiber and Cascade fabric, made from recycled materials, emphasizes eco-friendliness without compromising on style. The new steering wheel and upgraded seats with dynamic funnel aperture design enhance the sporty, high-tech ambiance.
Advanced Audi Virtual Cockpit and Innovative Panoramic Roof
The Audi virtual cockpit provides real-time information on battery temperature and charging power, with RS-specific displays for the RS models. An optional panoramic glass roof with PDLC technology offers a cutting-edge way to control sunlight and opacity, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.
Unmatched Electric Powertrain
The new RS e-tron GT models are powered by advanced permanent-magnet synchronous motors (PSM), delivering unparalleled performance:
- 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.
These powerful electric motors, combined with optimized cooling systems and a new boost function, provide short bursts of additional power, making the RS e-tron GT performance the most powerful production car Audi has ever built.
Enhanced Battery and Rapid Charging
The high-voltage (HV) battery features increased energy density and reduced weight, with 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 advanced thermal management system ensures optimal battery performance even in low temperatures, enhancing long-distance travel convenience.
