THE 2025 AUDI RS E-TRON GT PERFORMANCE IS A LUDICROUSLY QUICK SUPER SEDAN WITH PORSCHE DNA

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Audi RS e-Tron GT Performance represents a significant, albeit subtle, evolution of the electric super sedan. While exterior styling remains largely familiar, the powertrain receives a substantial upgrade, boasting up to 912 horsepower and achieving 0-60 mph in a blistering 2.2 seconds, making it the quickest Audi ever tested by the reviewer. The new 103 kWh battery pack improves range to an EPA-estimated 278 miles, with real-world testing yielding around 290 miles. The reviewer praises the car's otherworldly handling, attributed to the active damper control suspension, which defies physics with minimal body roll and a surprisingly compliant ride despite the large wheels. The interior, while featuring high-quality materials and the new RS steering wheel, retains older Audi tech, with some software glitches noted. Criticisms include the snug rear seat space, a less-than-generous trunk, and the continued use of less premium-feeling interior plastics like the door handles and center console wireless charger. Despite these drawbacks and a significant price increase, the RS e-Tron GT Performance is lauded for its supercar presence, build quality, and immense performance, positioning it as a compelling, albeit expensive, alternative to its Porsche Taycan counterparts and a worthy successor for R8 owners seeking electric power.
