After firing the first shot of the e-tron new energy nameplate revival with the Audi e-tron, a pure electric medium-sized SUV, Audi automotive quickly turned the gun head and aimed the second target at the four-door sedan. But unlike the electrification of the existing family we expected, the first pure electric sedan that Audi began to produce in late 2020 is not a four-door medium and large sedan in the traditional sense, but an Audi e-tron GT (pictured) with the same sporty flavor, a sneak-back sports car that shares the MSB-J1 platform with Porsche Taycan, and the starting price in overseas markets is 99,800 euros, about 713,100 yuan.
Avant-garde appearance, is the first image of the e-tron GT, fully enclosed design highlights its identity as a new energy vehicle, hexagonal mid-mesh, LED headlights classic and innovative, and optional laser headlights, can meet the needs of some users. The air intake under the headlights also highlights its identity as an RS performance car, which is quite dynamic.
Inside the car, the interior is simple but not technological, the red RS logo on the three-panel steering wheel reminds you to drive cautiously, and the design of the LCD dashboard is not large, although the central control screen is not large, but it is enough. The gear knob, like other e-tron models, uses a switch gear handle, and it is not known whether this will become a family design of Audi after this. Although it is a new energy vehicle, it still retains the physical button, which is worthy of praise. Equipped with a HUD head-up display, the technical configuration should still be available.
The Audi e-tron GT side interprets the word "coupe" perfectly. The layout of the long front + short rear makes the side of the Audi e-tron GT look very spiritual, the body line slides from the body over the roof to the rear, the overall streamline is very smooth, and there is no trace of superfluous design. And there is a spoiler at the front fender, which increases the layering of the side. Thanks to the blessing of the exterior design, the body posture also looks more low, and the design of the wheel hub is also a bit futuristic.
All E-Tron GT models use the same powertrain and include a 93.4 kWh battery pack, dual motors and a two-speed transmission. But when the base car, the RS GT, overcharged, produced a recognizedly healthy 522 horsepower and 472 pound-feet of torque, up to 637 horsepower and 612 pound-feet. That put the RS E-Tron GT at 60 mph in 3.1 seconds, which actually made it Audi's fastest production car, and even put the R8 V10 Performance — a nearly 2,000-pound lighter car — to ashes.
