CARS CARS The Audi e-tron GT quattro

Audi’s Gran Turismo family is growing. Entering the premium battery-electric market is made much more alluring by the Audi e-tron GT quattro. The updated model is currently accessible.

With the S e-tron GT2, RS e-tron GT3, and RS e-tron GT performance4, the Audi e-tron GT quattro1 completes the current GT family. 370 kW is the vehicle’s total output (430 kW with Launch Control). With a range of up to 622 kilometers (386.5 miles) and a gross battery capacity of 105 kWh (net 97 kWh), the Audi e-tron GT quattro1 is well suited for daily usage, whether traveling on the highway or in urban traffic.

Additionally, the basic model has an impressive 320 kW charging capacity. Since the car can recharge about 285 kilometers (177 miles) in 10 minutes, only brief charging stops are required. The entire charging power of the high-voltage battery is accessible over a wider temperature range. The energy storage system is automatically preconditioned by the e-tron route planner, guaranteeing optimal charging performance.

The model’s remarkable design language and long-distance capacity both embody the Audi Gran Turismo concept. The vehicle’s dynamic proportions are enhanced by large wheels, a sleek coupé-like appearance, and an expanded wheelbase. Excellent economy and little driving noise are provided by the variable air intakes and low drag coefficient of 0.24, making it the perfect vehicle for leisurely cruising.

A beautifully constructed diffuser with vertical fins at the back creates a dramatic finish, while a black mask at the front highlights the inverted Singleframe in the body color.

The car has a dynamic form thanks to its sharp roofline. The high-voltage battery, which is housed in the underbody, has well-placed footwell-like recesses in the battery pack that offer enough seats for all passengers. With eight-way adjustable sport seats and built-in headrests, the driver and front passenger enjoy luxurious travel, especially on lengthy trips. Sports equipment may be stored in the 405-liter (14.3 cu ft) trunk by folding down the rear seat backrest entirely or partially. Additionally, there is a front baggage box that holds 77 liters (2.7 cubic feet).

The clever quattro system ensures optimal traction under a variety of driving circumstances by distributing the drive torque between the front and rear axles completely flexibly and at lightning speed. The system examines the driving conditions and modifies the power distribution in order to accomplish that job. The drive can be precisely controlled in a matter of milliseconds. The Audi e-tron GT quattro¹ is around 30 kg (66.1 lbs) lighter than the S variant, which improves efficiency and dynamics equally.

The Audi Sport GmbH Böllinger Höfe facility in Neckarsulm is also producing the new e-tron GT quattro1, much like the previous GT models (S e-tron GT2, RS e-tron GT3, and RS e-tron GT performance4). You may get the entry-level model right now. The starting price is €108,900.
