2023 AUDI RS E-TRON GT REVIEW: I ALMOST LOST MY LICENCE

EV Channels Review

The Audi RS e-Tron GT is presented as a "production supercar" that is "stupid" and "bonkers" fast, sharing its platform with the Porsche Taycan but offering a slightly more comfortable ride. Reviewers highlight its "face-meltingly fast" acceleration, with power outputs reaching 475kW and 900Nm of torque in overboost. The interior is lauded as "phenomenal" and "beautiful," featuring real carbon fiber, leather, Alcantara, and a highly responsive digital cluster and MMI system. Comfort is a key takeaway, with adaptive dampers and air suspension providing a "mind-blowing" ride, even in Dynamic mode. However, the car's "insane" price tag (around $300,000 before options) is a significant barrier. While handling is described as "phenomenal," it's noted as not quite reaching the benchmark set by the Taycan. The reviewer ultimately leans towards the Porsche Taycan, despite acknowledging the RS e-Tron GT's near-perfection in speed, comfort, and aesthetics.
