AUDI RS E-TRON GT 2021 REVIEW WITH 0-60MPH & 1/4 MILE TEST!

EV Channels Review

Mat Watson of carwow provides an in-depth look at the pre-production Audi RS e-tron GT, highlighting its impressive performance figures. The car boasts 600hp, with an overboost function pushing it to 650hp, and achieves 0-60mph in a rapid 2.8 seconds (quicker than Audi's claim of 3.5 seconds) and a 10.94-second quarter-mile. While the exterior design is praised, the interior remains largely under wraps due to its prototype status. The reviewer notes good rear passenger space but limited footwell and headroom for taller individuals. The driving experience is described as GT-like, with a low center of gravity contributing to good handling despite the car's 2.3-ton weight. The braking system effectively blends regenerative and friction braking, though feathering the brakes at speed feels slightly artificial. The unique, futuristic sound system is a point of discussion, deemed odd but effective. The claimed 250-mile range is considered adequate but falls short of Tesla's offerings. Priced at £130,000 for the RS model, it's positioned as a premium performance electric vehicle.
