The mechanical base is the same as the Porsche Taycan and also the first Audi four-door coupe, top-of-the-line with an electric engine. No less than 925 hp (in launch control mode) and a brutal torque of 104,8 kgfm place the RS e-tron GT Performance as the most powerful ever launched in series by the German brand, known for its four intertwined rings. Active air suspension with variable damping rate, two-speed electric quattro traction, five times faster than the traditional mechanical system and a 2.8-degree steering rear axle, which helps both in maneuvers and cornering behavior, are among the highlights.
Another feature of the suspension is a reduction in its travel by up to 25 mm during strong acceleration and deceleration, as well as roll control in high-speed corners. And it even makes concessions to the driver and passengers by raising the body from 50 to 70 mm to facilitate access at a touch of the handle. When closing the doors, the body lowers again.
Like every coupe, trunk volume is limited to just 350 liters even without a spare tire, despite its large external dimensions (mm): 4.997, length; 2,900, wheelbase; 2,158, width; 1,379, height. There is an additional 77 liters volume under the hood ideal for backpacks. 21-inch wheels, Pirelli PZero tires and ceramic brake discs. Average range (Inmetro): 608 km with the 105 kW⋅h battery. Acceleration 0 to 100 km/h: 2.5 s (mass of 2,395 kg). In Germany, 0 to 200 km/h is also important: 7.9 s.
The interior features a high-level finish. The sunroof, at the one-button command, goes from transparent to opaque to insulate the interior on warmer days. According to Audi, there are more than a million possible combinations, when adding up all interior and exterior options. The owner can choose from the colors of the rearview mirror housings and even the brake calipers or the type of steering wheel covering, seats and door sides. Literally, the sky’s the limit.
