The Audi e-Tron GT has been updated for 2024

The e-Tron has undergone a significant upgrade with enhanced battery technology, increased power, improved dynamic handling, and a fresh new look. Audi's electric sports car has redefined expectations since its debut in 2021, offering impressive performance and range that challenge perceptions of electric driving.

The model lineup now features the Audi S e-tron GT, Audi RS e-tron GT, and Audi RS e-tron GT performance variants.

The Audi e-tron GT lineup has just had a stylish makeover! They've updated the front with striking L-shaped blades and a sleek 3D honeycomb Singleframe grille. RS models get a new rear diffuser with a vertical reflector in either black or optional carbon fiber.

When it comes to lighting, the RS e-tron GT features Matrix LED headlights with Audi laser light for dynamic sequences and indicators. And to top it off, there are new alloy wheel options: choose between standard 20-inchers or go for the exclusive 21-inch forged wheels available on RS models.

The new Audi S e-Tron GT delivers an impressive combined output of 592 PS in normal driving conditions, surging to 679 PS and 740 Nm of torque with launch control engaged. Stepping up to the Audi RS e-Tron GT, electric performance reaches new heights with 680 PS in normal driving and a staggering combined output of 857 PS and 865 Nm of torque under launch control. For those seeking ultimate power, the redesigned rotor, stator, and enhanced cooling of the Audi RS e-Tron GT performance model elevate performance to 748 PS in normal driving, peaking at an astonishing 925 PS and 1072 Nm of torque under launch control—making it Audi's most powerful electric production car ever. In comparison, the RS Q8 stands as Audi's most potent petrol-fueled production vehicle, boasting 600 PS of power and 800 Nm of torque.

Inside, the Audi e-tron GT blends quality, luxury, and unmistakable sportiness in its GT spirit. The sporty cockpit features a redesigned steering wheel that now boasts a flat bottom and top, evoking a racing-inspired look, especially in the Audi RS e-tron models. Standard are updated sports seats offering 14-way adjustments, with an option for a leather-free design package that uses eco-friendly suede-like material instead of animal skin.

In the Audi RS e-tron GT performance model, there's an exciting boost function that provides a thrilling 94 PS burst for 10 seconds during driving. Adding to the excitement, a feature in the cockpit displays how much boost remains, akin to receiving extra powers in a video game. This innovative electric sports car proves that going electric doesn't mean sacrificing the thrill of a sporty drive.

The Audi e-tron GT sprints from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.8 seconds—undeniably quick, blending electric power with exhilaration. Its regenerative braking capacity has been upgraded to 400 kW, capturing more energy during deceleration. This enhancement contributes to an impressive all-electric range of up to 375 miles (WLTP).

Moreover, the e-tron GT now supports up to 320 kW DC fast charging, capable of charging the battery from 10 to 80 percent in a swift 18 minutes. This combination of speed, range, and fast-charging capability makes it a compelling choice for those embracing the future of electric performance.

The Audi e-tron's enhanced handling is attributed to its new air suspension system, featuring dual-chamber air springs and dual-valve dampers. This advanced setup seamlessly transitions between a plush, comfortable ride in Comfort mode and precise body control in Sport mode.

For even greater control, there's an optional Active Ride system with fully active dampers and the same air springs. This system not only adjusts ride height automatically when you open the door but also actively counters pitch and roll during cornering, ensuring a stable and composed driving experience.

As electric vehicles continue to redefine the automotive world, the Audi e-tron GT showcases the exciting future of sustainable, high-performance driving.
