A For Alpha
From Ingolstadt, the Audi e-tron GT arises as a fully electric super sports car with a clear claim to leadership.
STRONG-WILLED
The signature daytime running lights. The hexagonal, honeycomb structure of the Single frame grille that’s an unmistakable feature of the RS models. The continuous LED light strip that signals the Audi DNA. The e-tron GT is considered a design pioneer and sets the standard for electric cars.
AGILE
It’s a combination of raw power, speed and endurance. The e-tron GT has an estimated range of up to 488km (or 472km for the RS e-tron GT) and just five minutes of charging time provides for a 100km journey. In beast mode, the car sprints from 0–100km/hr in just 4.1 seconds (or 3.3 seconds for the RS model), nearly as quick as the Audi R8.
COMMUNICATIVE
A total of 11 antennae receive and transmit audio, LTE, Bluetooth and GPS signals, keeping the e-tron GT connected with the outside world. There’ll be no knee-jerk reactions; movements are well-planned with sensors for front collision warnings and lane-specific information on the traffic flow.
ARMED
The cockpit is oriented towards the driver, who is in full control of the journey. The flat-bottomed steering wheel makes for smooth manoeuvring, while the large touchscreen sits comfortably in the middle console so that the driver can dictate the type of driving experience they’re after.
LEADERSHIP
A crouching roofline, broad, rear mudguards and short overhangs. The result: a low, aerodynamic drag coefficient of just 0.24. Having set the stage and pace, the e-tron GT ascends the throne as the icon of the German automaker.
