Default Audi E-Tron GT

I'm very impressed by it's high speed maneuverability and stability, better than the Tesla Model S in this regard.

The established manufacturers (especially Germans) will dominate ride, handling and features once they start adding EVs to their line up....BIG advantage for them as they have the experience and further, all the ICE models, all the profits can be funneled into research and development. It didn't take very long for VW to nail the ride, and handling experiences with their Audi and Porsche brands. ICE profits will also fuel advertising as well. Already seeing the print adds and television ads for this Audi EV

At those autobahn speeds, he'd have to recharge after 1 hour.

I also like his reviews as he's fair and keeps an open mind. I just find his delivery a tad slow and sometimes very boring. Reminds me of someone we both know lol

I think the Audi E tron GT is the best looking EV sedan right now. I prefer it to the Taycan.

yep he is unbiased as he is not sponsored by any automaker and knows his cars very well. Check out his other reviews.

have to agree with you, it's pretty stunning, and love that you can get silver, gray or blacked out trim pieces in different places!

If only these EV’s aren’t so expensive I really enjoy driving Taycan Turbo it’s just too much with over $150k and Audi is no less.

Another VERY positive review.

Interesting to me... the price and power of the RS Etron-GT and the RS7 are about the same.
but there's no doubt, the RS Etron-GT is WAAAAAY cooler and impressive.

I have been waiting a very long time for this car to become a reality. I actually stopped by an Audi dealer last week to see when they'll start showing up - they said they're already hitting Europe for deliveries so they were expecting it to be 2-3 months.
