History/Overview
The Audi RS E-Tron GT electric sport sedan returns for its second year on the market, once again building on the base E-Tron GT model with extra performance to make it one of the fastest production cars in the world regardless of power source.
What’s New/Key Changes From Last Year
The sole update for 2023 is a body-coloured grille.
Available Trims
Audi offers the RS E-Tron GT in a single trim level. Power is from two electric motors – one front, one rear – that provide all-wheel traction.
Standard Features
Standard kit includes 20-inch wheels, auto-dimming/power-folding side mirrors, carbide brakes, air suspension, matrix LED headlights, passive keyless entry, and a power tailgate. Inside, you get a power-adjustable steering wheel, 14-way power heated front seats, heated rear seats, synthetic leather upholstery, an auto-dimming mirror, three-zone A/C, and ambient lighting. Infotainment duties are handled by a 10.1-inch touchscreen with navigation, wireless phone charging, digital gauges, and a Bang & Olufsen stereo.
The driver safety assist suite comprises forward and reverse collision mitigation, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, automatic high beams, adaptive cruise control, remote park assist, 360-degree cameras, and a head-up display.
Key Options
A performance package adds all-wheel steering and carbon door trim.
The RS red design package brings a full leather interior, 18-way ventilated/massaging front seats, Nappa leather seating, and red trim elements. You can also get this bundle without the red trim.
Fuel Economy
Audi’s fuel consumption estimates are 3.0/2.9 Le/100 km (city/highway), and promised driving range is 373 km.
