Audi RS E-tron GT Performance sets a brutal example in the world of electric cars. With violent 680 kW / PS 925, a range of 592 kilometers and an acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h in just 34,7 metres, he is a performance monster.
But it doesn't just show pure performance, it also shows technological innovations. But what makes it so special and why does it attract attention?
Audi RS E-tron GT Performance
With 680 kW Performance he sprints in just 2,5 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h – a value that is not only impressive for an electric car, but even makes many supercars look old. The key data not only means incredible acceleration, but also brings physical extremes into play. It exceeds 11,1 m / s² Acceleration even overcomes the force of gravity – an experience that is otherwise only possible in free fall.
The battery: the heart of the RS E-tron GT Performance
As with any electric vehicle, the battery plays a central role. In the case of the RS E-tron GT Performance The battery is not only powerful, but also a technical masterpiece. With a capacity of 105 kWh (net 97 kWh) and optimized Nickel-cobalt-manganese mixture it is more durable and less sensitive to temperature differences.
Thanks to a sophisticated thermal management system that keeps it at the ideal temperature, it can now 320 kW charging power This means that the E-tron GT Performance in only 18 minutes from 10 to 80 percent is loaded. And with up to 65 percent charge level it can still handle a particularly high charging power.
Greater range thanks to efficiency.
The range of 592 kilometers comes from the larger battery, but also a more efficient drive system. The new Rear machine, With the 415 kW contributes a large proportion. And the electric motor on the front axle with 252 kW ensures maximum traction in every situation.
Push-to-Pass: Motorsport for the road
A special feature is the Push-to-Pass button. Inspired by the Motorsport, it allows for ten seconds a performance boost of 70 kWThe function enables the driver to overtake on the Autobahn or country roads particularly quickly. And thanks to a short Regeneration time of only ten seconds The boost function is also available again particularly quickly.
Recuperation and braking performance
One of the most important aspects in our opinion is the recuperation performance. It can up to 400 kW recuperate, which means that it effectively recovers energy even at high speeds. The deceleration is 4,5 m / s² – enough to make many cars that rely on their conventional brakes look old. The transition from recuperation to the hydraulic braking system is of course seamless and without delay.
Chassis: comfort and dynamics combined
And another highlight is this Suspension, which is characterized by its versatility. The standard Double wishbone/multi-link/air suspension can optionally be Active chassis with hydraulic roll compensation A hydraulic roll compensation system is used instead of an electric one.
The advantage is that hydraulic systems are directly connected to the Suspension shocks and thus react faster and more precisely to the road. The new pumps are able to Rebound and compression in fractions of a second and thus reduce not only lateral inclinations, but also braking and acceleration pitching.
The result is a sports car that not only drives safely at high speeds, but also offers a high level of driving comfort. Even in Comfort mode The chassis can accelerate the e-tron by up to two degrees into the curve, which creates a pleasant and relaxed feeling.
All-wheel steering for maximum control
The RS E-tron GT Performance is also equipped with All-wheel steering which noticeably improves handling. Especially at low speeds, the rear wheels steer by up to 2,8 degree against the front axle, which makes manoeuvring easier. And at higher speeds, the rear wheels steer up to one degree parallel to the front axle, which should improve tracking and stability.
Conclusion: A car that sets standards
- With the Audi RS E-tron GT Performance Audi has built an electric car that could set standards not only in terms of performance, but also in terms of comfort, range and technology. For a price of 160.500 EUR There is a combination of brutal performance, lots of technology and comfort at the same time. Even though the price is high, it could be way ahead of many of its competitors. Photo credit / Source: Audi
