2025 AUDI RS E-TRON GT REVIEW: I KNOW AUDI ENGINEERS HAVE LOST THE PLOT

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Audi RS e-tron GT Performance is presented as a significant mid-cycle update, pushing the boundaries of electric performance. The reviewer is overwhelmingly impressed by its raw power and acceleration, achieving 0-100 km/h in a blistering 2.8 seconds, despite headwinds. The new active suspension is highlighted as a game-changer, providing remarkable stability and a physics-defying flat cornering capability, making it feel like a new generation rather than just an update. The interior is praised for its driver-focused design, premium materials like Dynamica and Nappa leather, and comfortable, well-bolstered seats with massage functions. However, the reviewer notes the continued presence of piano black plastic, which attracts fingerprints, and a lack of rear seat heating/cooling as minor drawbacks for a car at this price point. Practicality is adequate for a sports grand tourer, with a usable cargo net and the option to expand storage by dropping rear seats. The charging speed has also seen improvements, now taking only 18 minutes to charge from 10% to 80%. While the top-tier Performance model is deemed extremely capable, the reviewer suggests the base S e-tron GT could be a more sensible, albeit still incredible, daily driver option, saving considerable cost.
