AUDI RS ETRON GT - IS THIS THE BEST GT CAR IN THE WORLD?

EV Channels Review

The Audi RS e-tron GT is presented as a compelling Grand Tourer, excelling in styling, performance, chassis balance, refinement, and its clear definition of the GT role. The reviewer praises its sensational looks, comparing it favorably to the Mark 1 TT and even the Porsche Taycan. The interior, while functional and exceptionally well-built, is noted for a lack of visual excitement compared to the exterior, with the reviewer suggesting more customization options for materials. Practicality is deemed sufficient for GT credentials, with ample boot space and comfortable rear seating for two adults. Performance is strong, though the reviewer clarifies the 'overboost' figures and emphasizes the car's true strength lies in its GT capabilities rather than outright track-focused dynamics. The ride quality is exceptional, striking a superb balance between comfort and handling, making it a better GT than the Taycan for long-distance cruising. Real-world range is estimated around 230-240 miles, primarily on motorways, which is questioned as potentially insufficient for a six-figure GT. Charging is rapid, with 10-80% in approximately 23 minutes on a 150kW+ charger due to its 800-volt architecture. The reviewer concludes that the RS e-tron GT is a "phenomenally good car" and potentially the finest GT on the market, hitting every target for the segment.
