The RS e-tron GT is no lightweight at 2.4 tonnes, but the dual permanently excited synchronous motors make light work of their task, catapulting the big sedan from 0-100km/h in 3.3sec and propelling it to 250km/h, should you have access to a racetrack or stretch of derestricted road. The Audi’s peak power output and 830Nm torque quota place it between the Porsche Taycan 4S and Taycan Turbo.
Total system output is 440kW in normal mode with an overboost function that delivers 475kW for 2.5sec when you floor it in Dynamic mode or engage launch mode. There’s a 178kW unit on the front axle that sends drive through a single-gear transmission, while the 340kW motor on the rear axle is hooked up to a two-speed gearbox to deliver snappy off-the-mark acceleration.Īn electronic limited-slip diff at the rear is also standard to ensure the massive torque of the RS e-tron GT can be effectively harnessed.
The standard equipment quota is generous as the RS comes with 20-inch alloy wheels, Matrix LED headlights, three-chamber air suspension, a rear differential lock, Nappa leather upholstery, carbon-fibre inlays, 14-way adjustable electric sports seats (with front seat warmers), three-zone climate control, digital instrument display, wireless smartphone interface and charging, digital radio, head-up display, 16-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system and lots more.Īs per the Porsche Taycan Turbo, the 2022 Audi RS e-tron GT is propelled by a pair of electric motors – one for each axle. Propulsion comes from a pair of electric motors – one for each axle – that deliver total system outputs of 440kW (475kW in overboost mode) and 830Nm.Īudi quotes a 0-100km/h split of 3.3 seconds, and the RS e-tron GT feels every bit this quick out in the real world. Significantly, this figure undercuts the comparable Porsche Taycan Turbo by about $20,000, even though the Audi is only a whisker short of the latter in terms of outright performance.Īs per its Porsche counterpart, the Audi RS e-tron GT features an 800-volt architecture that enables quick charging (from five to 80 per cent charge in under 23 minutes), with the 93kWh battery pack delivering a touring range of 400km-plus, according to the car-maker.
