Audi's 2025 RS e-tron GT Efficiency is Audi's quickest accelerating and most powerful automobile ever. How fast? Audi says 2.4 seconds, however I presume that's a cynical price quote, we'll know for sure however quickly due to the fact that I'm in Vegas today driving it.
So what's brand-new for 2025? Truthfully a lot that I'm surprised Audi isn't calling it a "next generation" GT. For this year Audi has actually completely upgraded the batteries, inverters, rear motor, cooling system, all the motor control software application and hardware and after that they provided the within and outside a comprehensive refresh. Yep, there's still a lot of Porsche DNA here, which's not a bad thing. Like the Taycan the GT gets an 800V native pack, however the new cells make it more energy-dense, lighter, and able to charge at healthy 320 kW peak and run 10-80% in simply 18 minutes. Want to gain range quicker? A Lucud Gravity is practically the only choice in N. America.
On the battery front there are some other interesting details. Audi dropped the required battery temperature level to charge at the peak rate by an enormous 36 degrees F. This means you don't have to wait till the cars and truck heats the pack up to 95 degrees as before to get that 320 kW, nope, it'll now be simply great as low as 59. This indicates less time warming the battery before charging in the cold and no waiting at all if you reside in a temperate climate. Also, Audi has actually even more separated the cooling loops for the cabin, battery, and motors enabling them to be heated and cooled individually from one another.
Heading horse power? 912, however there's a twist: technically you just get that in launch control or "enhance mode" where the system unlocks 94 more horsepower for 10 seconds. Rationally the majority of the power takes place in the back with the rear motor putting out 556 HP and 435 lb-ft and the front accountable for 356 HP and 302 lb-ft. Like the Porsche Taycan, the GT utilizes a distinct 2-speed transmission in the rear to give you ridiculous 0-30 times and enable greater speed operation. Interestingly, the GT's 1-2 gear shift takes place before you get to 60. Think of that, 0-60 in 2.4 seconds * consisting of * an equipment shift. The only odd part is that Audi didn't decide to move that 2nd equipment ratio up to make this as fast on the autobahn as the R8 V10 which is still the fastest Audi ever in terms of leading speed. This one? It's electronically limited to 155 while some Taycans are opened up to 180 MILES PER HOUR.
