2024 E-TRON RS GT PERFORMANCE! NEW E-TRON GT FAMILY!

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Audi RS e-tron GT Performance represents a significant evolution of the electric grand tourer, building upon the existing platform with substantial upgrades. The reviewer highlights the "electric fury" and praises the "RS Performance" as the most powerful Audi Sport car ever. Key improvements include a larger 97 kWh usable battery, offering a quoted range of up to 594 km, and a more powerful rear motor. The new Active Ride suspension system, borrowed from the Panamera, is a standout feature, lauded for its ability to maintain composure over uneven surfaces and enhance dynamic driving by reducing body roll during acceleration and cornering, making the heavy EV feel significantly lighter. Design-wise, the facelift brings distinct looks to the S, RS, and RS Performance models, with the latter featuring unique forged carbon fiber accents and an optional matte carbon roof. The interior also sees updates, including a new steering wheel and a unique white power display for the Performance model, harkening back to the RS2 Avant. While the reviewer expresses reservations about Audi's new 2D corporate identity rings, the overall interior design is considered a step up, especially with the inclusion of more analog controls. The reviewer concludes that Audi has improved "everything" with this facelift, offering better range, power, and distinct styling across the model range, solidifying the e-tron GT's position as a desirable electric vehicle.
