Audi RS E-Tron GT Archives

Four years ago Audi launched a battery electric car Audi e-tron GT, and a year later a more sporty RS version arrived on the market. Now is the time for more powerful refreshed editions and the new RS Performance flagship.

First of all, the Audi e-tron GT is now known as the S e-tron GT. It is powered by two electric motors with a total power of 680 hp (507 kW), which is more than the current RS e-tron GT. Also, the new RS e-tron GT is more powerful than its predecessor and now has 857 hp (639 kW), while the new flagship RS e-tron GT Performance is at the top of the range and the most powerful Audi ever with 925 hp (690 kW). This had a significant impact on acceleration, so now the S e-tron GT reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.4 seconds (0.1 second faster than the current RS version) with a top speed of 245 km/h ( 152 mph). The RS e-tron GT accelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.8 seconds with a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph), while the RS e-tron GT Performance reaches 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds .

In order to withstand the increase in power, Audi‘s engineers improved the air suspension as well as the optional active suspension, new brakes with steel discs were installed in the S e-tron GT, while the RS models have discs coated with tungsten carbide. Customers can also choose carbon-ceramic discs and 10-piston front brake calipers (optional).

All versions are equipped with a 97 kWh battery that allows a range of 609 km on a single battery charge in ideal conditions. The maximum charging speed has been increased from 270 to 320 kW, which means that the battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in just 18 minutes, while a ten-minute charge is enough for a range of 280 km. The battery improvements also mean that it can maintain a charging speed of more than 280 kWh for longer than the old model. Also, the battery can be cooled or heated for faster charging.

The cabin has also undergone certain changes. New seats, a new steering wheel and an optional panoramic glass roof, which can become opaque with the simple push of a button, have been installed. Audi’s virtual cockpit has also been upgraded, and there’s a new mix of materials including wood accents, Dinamica microfibre and optional 18-way adjustable seats.

When it comes to price, the S e-tron GT costs 126,000 euros, while the RS e-tron GT is slightly more expensive and costs 147,500 euros. For the most powerful Audi ever, the RS e-tron GT Performance, it is necessary to allocate 160,500 euros.

2025 Audi RS e-tron GT Performance - the most powerful Audi ever

In 2020, Audi unveiled its third all-electric car, the Audi RS E-Tron GT. It’s a superbly designed car, but there are always those who want more aerodynamics, like Turismo Wheels CEO Wojciech Malag.

Malag entrusted the car to Maxton Design engineers who prepared a package of special aerodynamic components for this electric sedan. These include a rear diffuser, a new front lip spoiler, more massive side skirts, K&W springs and an upgraded air suspension that lower the car, but also 3M black foil that adds to the overall look.

The Audi RS E-Tron GT is an electric car with outstanding performance. Under the hood are two electric motors with a total output of 637 hp (475 kW) and 612 lb-ft (830 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all four wheels via 1-speed direct drive (front axle) and 2-speed gearbox (rear axle). It reaches 62 mph in 2.85 seconds with a top speed of 156 mph (250 km/h). It is mounted on 22-inch Turismo Inventa carbon rims.

An increasing number of electric cars began to attract the attention of tuner companies, so in the future we can expect more frequent requests from owners to personalize their beloved cars.
