2024 AUDI RS E-TRON GT REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Audi RS e-tron GT is lauded as a stunningly designed, high-performance electric vehicle that offers an exhilarating driving experience, sharing its platform with the Porsche Taycan. The reviewer praises its comfortable air suspension, potent acceleration (0-100 km/h in 3.22 seconds), and impressive handling for its weight, noting it feels like a true Audi. However, significant drawbacks are highlighted: poor energy economy, with real-world range struggling to reach 400 km despite a 90 kWh battery, and a claimed 20 kWh/100km figure being significantly exceeded in testing. Storage space is also criticized as lacking, particularly for an EV. The two-speed transmission, while enabling a high top speed, is noted to introduce a slight delay in acceleration, detracting from the instant response expected from an EV. The brake pedal feel is described as firm and wooden, lacking confidence, though braking distances are still good. Despite these criticisms, the reviewer acknowledges it as a strong first attempt at an ultra-fast sporty EV by Audi, with potential for future generations.
