  • Audi RS e-tron GT: Take the performance a notch higher with the RS e-tron GT. Packing a punch with 844 horsepower (630 kW), this variant rockets from 0 to 60 mph in a staggering 2.8 seconds.

Whether you're carving through mountain curves or navigating city streets, the e-tron GT family inspires confidence behind the wheel.

A Technological Oasis: The Driver-Centric Interior (Consistent Across Variants)

Sustainable Indulgence: Eco-Friendly Materials Meet Premium Comfort (Consistent Across Variants)

Sustainability remains a priority within the e-tron GT's interior.
