![]() Prices for the E-Tron GT start at $99,900 for the base Premium Plus, $107,100 for the Prestige, and $139,900 for the RS (not including a $7,500 federal income-tax credit, which Audi still qualifies for). A leather-free interior is standard on all models, although if you really need your zero-emission car's cabin draped in the hide of methane-producing bovines, Audi will accommodate you. We don't have images of the standard E-Tron GT's interior yet, but the RS features the usual sporty accoutrements: aggressive sport seats, ample amounts of carbon-fiber trim, red stitching, and an Alcantara-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel. The E-Tron GT flips the script, though, canting the 12.3-inch touchscreen display toward the driver and replacing the lower 8.6-inch touchscreen with a smaller unit and physical buttons to manage the climate controls. ![]() Compensating For The Exterior InsideĪudi's interior design has been good for literal decades, but the past few years have seen a big transition from the brand, with twin touchscreen displays in the center stack and all-digital instrument clusters joining the high-quality materials and eye-pleasing shapes. Four-wheel steering is available on the E-Tron GT and is standard on the RS, although we'd struggle to order a car without the impressive arrangement – if Audi's other products are any indication, E-Trons with four-wheel steering will be far better to drive, offering greater agility and better high-speed stability. Drivers can adjust the ride height over a span of 1.7 inches (0.9 down and 0.8 up). Like the Taycan, an air suspension underpins the E-Tron GT, which Audi claims has 60 percent more capacity than the setup found in the E-Tron crossover and E-Tron Sportback. And on the Tesla side of the ball, the RS matches the Model S Long Range's 3.1-second sprint, but nothing at Audi (or Porsche, for that matter) can match the claimed sub-2.0-second sprint of the new Model S Plaid. The 4S hits 60 in 3.8 seconds, the Turbo does it in 3.0, and the Turbo S promises 2.6 seconds to 60. If you've read our deep dive of the Porsche Taycan, the E-Tron GT will sound pretty similar. Critics will be quick to point out that the E-Tron GT is slower to 60 than every version of the Porsche Taycan, aside from the new rear-drive, single-motor model. ![]() Go with the standard E-Tron GT, which comes in two trims, and 60 miles per hour arrives in 3.9 seconds while carrying on to 152 mph – the RS model does the deed in ( a possibly conservative) 3.1 and will reach 155 mph. Like the E-Tron crossover, the GT has an overboost function that temporarily increases output to 522 and 637 hp, respectively. Base models pack 469 horsepower (350 kilowatts) and 464 pound-feet (630 Newton-meters) while the RS variant thunders silently down the road with 590 hp (440 kW) and 612 lb-ft (830 Nm). There's a 93.4-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack, an 800-volt electrical architecture that allows rapid recharging – five to 80 percent capacity in 23 minutes – an electric motor on each axle, and a rear-mounted two-speed automatic.
