In response to the Porsche Taycan, in 2021 Audi introduced a bold looking car, the Audi e-tron GT. It is an all-electric car that will soon receive its redesigned edition. However, before the official premiere of the new e-tron GT, Audi revealed a prototype of this model.
A first look reveals minor design changes compared to the current generation. These include a new front bumper with redesigned intakes, a new front fascia, and a redesigned rear diffuser. The car shown features a new set of aerodynamically optimized rims in black, and it has been announced that it will also be equipped with a new active suspension with hydraulic actuators. This will enable new adjustment options, which will give the driver a wider range of driving modes and settings, and ultimately further increase the comfort and driving dynamics of the electric model.
The biggest changes will be under the hood. At the top of the range of the new e-tron GT will be the RS Performance version, which will have more than 646 hp (482 kW). This is the same power that the current RS e-tron GT has, but still less than the competitor Porsche Taycan Turbo S, which has 952 hp (710 kW).
Audi hasn’t revealed much about the mechanical and technological improvements that come with the redesigned edition. However, if we look at the recently updated Porsche Taycan, the new e-tron GT has more powerful electric motors, faster charging up to 320 kW instead of up to 270 kW, and there is talk of a battery larger than 105 kWh, which would mean a longer range. As a reminder, the current generation is equipped with a 93.4 kWh battery.
Although Audi hasn’t announced when the new e-tron GT will premiere, it’s certain that we won’t have to wait long.
