FROM 680 TO 925 HP – Restyling time for the electric grand tourer Audi e-tron GT, which with the mid-career update emphasizes its performance and improves its autonomy, accompanying everything with an even more dynamic style. The version is confirmed RS e-tron GT, with power rising by 210 HP to 856 HP. At the base is positioned theAudi S e-tron GT, which compared to the current model goes from 530 to 680 HP. The new top of the range variant is the RS e-tron GT Performance, which with its 925 HP and 1,027 Nm is the most powerful series Audi ever made and manages to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds (3.4 seconds for the S and 2.8 seconds for the RS). The maximum speed is 245 km/h for the S and limited to 250 km/h for the two RSs. All e-tron GTs send power to the ground through the four-wheel drive based on two electric motors, one for each axis. On the RS, through one of the satellites on the steering wheel it is now possible to recall the Boost function, which for 10 seconds allows you to have a temporary increase in power of 95 HP, useful for having that extra boost when overtaking.

FASTER RELOADS – The high voltage battery of the renewed Audi e-tron GT it is 9 kg lighter than before (it now weighs 625 kg), but has improved its capacity by 13 kWh effective, reaching 105 kWh (97 net). For this reason, together with the advanced cells and the refinement of the thermal management system, theautonomy maximum of the e-tron GT is 609 km, a improvement more than 100 km compared to the previous model. Thanks to a maximum charging power of 320 kW (+50 kW compared to the past), the electric grand tourer from Ingolstadt promises to restore 280 km of autonomy in 10 minutes and go from 10 to 80% charge in 18 minutes).
ALSO CUSTOM – If between the different versions of theAudi e-tron GT there are subtle differences that the expert eye will be able to grasp, all of them adopt the new image of the German company, characterized by a two-dimensional design of the four rings (white for the S, gray for the RS). The new one is reserved for the Audi RS e-tron GT tint Bedford green metallic, while the Nuvola gray metallic finish is available for both RSs. New ones are introduced circles of 20 and 21 inches. For customers who want a “tailor-made” car, the Audi Exclusive program allows you to choose from many combinations to have a practically unique example.
DIGITAL AND ECO-SUSTAINABLE COCKPIT – The range updates also extend to the passenger compartment, where we find the new steering wheel flattened both at the bottom and at the top. The seats have been renewed, with standard sports seats featuring an illuminated “S” or “RS” logo at the base of the headrests. Materials sustainable fabrics, such as Cascade fabric and Dinamica microfibre, are widely used for upholstery. There instrumentation digital now provides real-time information on the battery status (temperature, maximum available charging power and preconditioning when navigation to a charging station is active) so that the driver can know in advance what the car’s charging performance is. Among the options, the roof panoramic a adaptive transparencycapable of becoming opaque thanks to liquid crystal films “embedded” in the glass to reduce the impact of sunlight.
