2023 Audi RS e-tron GT Review

Specs:
Dual Motor
2-speed transmission
522 hp, 472 ft-lbs torque
0-60: 3.1 seconds

Boasting a 0-60 mph time of just 3.1 seconds and a 155 MPH top track speed, the RS e-tron GT is on par with the V10-powered Audi R8 supercar - all while producing zero direct emissions





Next week I'm going to see if can test drive one of these bad boys

 

i think that might be my favorite EV from a looks standpoint.

 

Amirza, how in the hell are they getting those numbers with 500hp?

What does it weigh?
I'm guessing they must have trimmed a lot of weight somewhere.

 

It's all about instant torque, and being able to put the power down with little to no wheel spin. Electric cars have instant power output so that the power transferred by the drive wheels is equivalent to the power generated by the inverter from the battery. They also have less power losses to heat, so 80 percent of the power is available. The power to the wheels also doesn't have to go through a traditional transmission, so it's more "controlled", power can be pulled from one wheel and sent to another one instantly when needed. And I'm sure there is some magic mixed in there somewhere

 

It's definietly a beauty, but way, way beyond my price range

 

well if you didn't have a fleet of other cars..

 

Well, if I didn't have a fleet of people, I wouldn't need a fleet of cars

 

Didn't I snap this pic at your house?

 

I love the look of this RS e-Tron but look at how little ground clearance it has. It almost seems impractically low for just about anything (driveway bump, etc).

 

As noted in my standard etron GT review, I was not impressed. It's a good attempt but they need to catch up with Tesla and the Plaids...

 

There's an "overboost"-like function during launch control that takes it to 637hp.

 

That's definitely a better explanation than mine

 

Clickbait title! You got me so excited only to find out you hadn't driven the car yet 😜

 

I drove it through Youtube's the Straight Pipes...what's the difference? I plan to test drive one very soon!

 

ha, that's nice. i don't even know what car that is though.

anything slower than a cruise missile is slow for you.
