2021 AUDI E-TRON GT AS MOST POWERFUL RS E-TRON - AUDI CHALLENGES TESLA MODEL S AND PORSCHE TAYCAN!

EV Channels Review

The 2021 Audi RS e-tron GT is presented as Audi's electric supercar, sharing its J1 platform with the Porsche Taycan. The reviewer highlights the stunning design, which closely mirrors the concept car, and praises its sporty, bold aesthetics. The interior is noted for its high build quality, featuring premium materials and a futuristic, spaceship-like ambiance with ambient lighting and a dual-screen setup (10.1-inch infotainment and 12.3-inch digital cluster). A significant positive is the availability of an animal-free interior option, though the reviewer expresses mild disappointment that it's not standard, unlike Tesla's approach. The reviewer also points out the user-friendly climate control interface, which is considered superior to the Taycan's. Practicality is addressed with a 405-liter trunk and a front trunk (frunk) for charging cables, though the trunk opening is shallow. Performance figures are impressive, with the RS model boasting up to 650 horsepower and a 3.3-second 0-62 mph time. The promised range is 488 km (300 miles), with expectations of real-world range similar to the Taycan (200+ miles). The reviewer anticipates a great driving experience due to the shared platform, 50/50 weight distribution, and powerful dual-motor setup.
