The Audi RS e-tron GT is the flagship model in the German car maker’s lineup. The name may be a confusing mix of letters but all you need to know is that this slick GT car mixes sporty styling with incredible on-road performance. And despite some blistering pace, it’s still got a healthy range to get you from A to B and enough practicality to make it usable.

Key highlights

The Audi RS e-tron GT is a classic GT car – sportscar looks and performance but comfortable enough to take in long journeys, although at five metres long you may struggle to park it on your local street. That said, it’s actually more practical than you might think with seating for five and a 350-litre boot. For such a sporty car on the outside, the RS e-tron GT is all business class inside, with plenty of gadgets and technology as you’d expect from an Audi.

Performance and range

The standout numbers for the Audi RS e-tron GT read as follows: 0-62mph in 3.3 seconds, 590bhp, and top speed of 155mph. It’s an electric performance car to rival the best out there. When you’re not beating everyone off the traffic lights, the RS e-tron GT offers over 250 miles of range and is equipped for 270kW charging.
