This time, Audi RS e-tron GT, Audi's first all-electric high-performance sports car, gave us a very big surprise, but presale price of new car reaches 1.48. million yuan, which is still a little unexpected.

The power of Taycan products is even more explosive

The new car is actually a product built on same platform as Porsche Taycan, but it also has a breakthrough in terms of power. The new car is also equipped with an all-wheel drive system combined with front and rear dual-wheel drive. Motors with a power of 440 kW, maximum torque reaches 830 Nm, and acceleration time to 100 kilometers is 3.3 seconds.

Family design language + full body kit

In terms of looks, new car also features a brand new family design. The overall posture is very similar to Audi R8. The iconic black hexagonal front grille features Audi Matrix Laser technology on both sides. .We can say that he is straight full.

When viewed from side, since this is a product on same platform as Porsche Taycan, side lines of both cars are also very similar, in keeping with styling of Volkswagen family. The GT sports car has always been well received: top frameless doors and five-door 4-seat layout can perfectly meet needs of daily car use while maintaining top-notch performance.

The upcoming mid-size version will feature 21-inch low-drag wheels and red multi-piston calipers.

It is worth noting that to further enhance sporty performance, new car has also been upgraded with a full range of aerodynamic features, including a carbon fiber deflector lip, a rear diffuser and exterior mirrors. The new vehicle's drag coefficient is reported to be only 0.24Cd and curb weight is 2,360 kg.

As for interior, new car also continues design of digital cockpit of Audi family. Although it does not use popular large screen and other design elements, whole interior can create a strong sporty atmosphere and is full of three-dimensionality. However, new car is still in pre-sale condition. There is no more precise information yet, but price of new car has already reached one million. I believe this aspect is different.

Write to end

It is easy to see that Audi RS e-tron GT not only inherited excellent performance of Audi RS family, but also retained luxury car attributes that a GT sports car should have. like hard driving.

But this begs question: since Audi RS e-tron GT is so cool, which would you prefer: that or the Porsche Taycan?
