As the first pure electric luxury GT sports car of the Audi brand, the Audi RS e-tron GT aims to perfectly combine the beauty of technology with strong manufacturing experience, showing the understanding and thinking of an established luxury brand for high-performance electric vehicles. At the same time, Audi has also created a unique Audi e-tron sports acoustic system for it, which makes up for the lack of electric vehicles in and out of the car, which naturally makes the Audi RS e-tron GT more loved by consumers, and then let's take a look at what "black technology" it has.
The topic of car sound effects covers a wide range, whether it is theoretical or practical operation, there are a large number of difficulties that need to be overcome. In particular, the sound of the large-displacement engine that traditional fuel luxury cars are most proud of is a major factor that attracts consumers to buy. After the electric car has no engine, it has been criticized for its sound waves, but for Audi, which is known for avant-garde technology, even electric vehicles must create a high level of automotive acoustics.
The Audi e-tron sport acoustic system equipped with the Audi RS e-tron GT adds an internal and external sound system controlled by a separate sound controller to the traditional AVAS system (Vehicle Alarm Sound System). The sound system includes exterior speakers in the new trunk, two in-car speakers and a separate controller. When the Audi RS e-tron GT is driving, the internal and external sound effect system works, and its sound effects are synthesized electronic sound effects, and the synthesis process fully combines the motor speed, load, driving speed and other parameter data to truly reproduce the working conditions of the drive system.
The driver can adjust the sound effects through the Audi Driving Selection System. In Efficiency mode, only the AVAS system (Vehicle Alarm Sound System) can be activated, which can provide the owner with a variety of sounds that are superior to industry standards. In Comfort mode, the exterior sound has a fuller, higher-quality sound. In "Dynamic" mode, it has more powerful sound effects, and there will be more pleasant sound in the car. The dynamic and rich e-tron sport acoustics highlight GT's evolving product qualities.
In order to give the Audi RS e-tron GT's signature sound characteristics, while also meeting the relevant legal and regulatory requirements, this is no easy task. As Audi's acoustic engineer Rudolf Halbmeir puts it: "Take in the process of meeting so many requirements."
