All-electric, sporty and pioneering: meet the Audi e-tron GT
Ready for a sustainable drive that still delivers on performance? Then consider getting the behind the wheel of the Audi e-tron GT, the brand’s new electric frontrunner, which is also available as an RS and quattro model.
The first electric sedan from Audi is driven by two powerful electric motors that deliver electric all-wheel drive and smooth road performance. With a net energy content of 85 kWh, the battery can reach ranges of up to 487 kilometres for the Audi e-tron GT quattro and can be rapidly recharged. In around five minutes, it’s charged for a distance of roughly 100km.
With its large wheels, wide track, flat silhouette and long wheelbase, the e-tron GT exudes sporty proportions, while its sculptural design – check out the low inverted Singleframe grille and sloping roof line – makes it doubly easy on the eye. Leather-free interiors and upholstery made with a high percentage of recycled material (fashion designer Stella McCartney collaborated on the interior design) reinforce the car’s commitment to sustainability. The RS model can manage 0-100 km/hr in 3.3 seconds and has a top speed of 250 km/hr. Formula E driver Lucas di Grassi is among its fans: “The Audi RS e-tron GT is a milestone in the development of electrified highperformance models,” he says. Sustainability can’t be speedy, or sexy? We don’t think so. audi.com
