Yesterday Audi presented his new Audi E-Tron GT electric car, as well as his high-performance version of RS E-Tron GT. This electric car will be the flagship, the highest model of the E-TRON series. Since Audi enters the Volkswagen group, like Porsche, it would be possible to think that Audi E-Tron GT is just a stylized Porsche Taycan clone. But in fact, E-TRON GT looks much more interesting from all sides, at least externally and internally. It certainly may look tastefully, but the design of the Audi E-Tron GT looks more powerful and more serious than Porsche Taycan. CW value (aerodynamic resistance coefficient) is 0.24. This indicator is achieved due to the flat bottom of the battery, diffusers, a multi-stage retractable rear spoiler and actively switchable air intakes for brakes and radiator, which should also improve aerodynamics. That is, each element of the car is well thought out.
Markus Dyusmann, CEO Audi AG, "E-TRON GT2 is a new page in the class of Gran Turismo, rethought for the future. Its appearance is evidence of a premium automotive design. Possessing impressive running qualities, it is electric vehicle in the emotional sense. Thanks to its concept of sustainable development, he occupies a solid position. Because eco-friendly not only the concept of the drive. All production in our factory Böllinger Höfe now has a carbon-neutral energy balance. This is an important signal for the factory, our employees and future vitality of Audi. "
Audi E-Tron GT is a four-door coupe that will enter the market simultaneously with the RS model. Energy consumption at the level of 20.2-19,3квт * h / 100 km, which gives a calculated range in the area up to 487 kilometers. As a platform for E-TRON GT, the J1 platform from Porsche is taken. Its base is the battery pack with a voltage of 800 V, and an accessible capacity of 85 kW * h out of 93.4 kW * h in the block. The onboard charger allows you to charge an electric sports car with a constant current of up to 270 kW. This means that it is possible to "fill up to the full" battery in less than a third of the hour.
Also in general, the Audi E-Tron GT with Porsche Taycan synchronous motors with constant excitation on the rear axle, and a two-stage gearbox. The car is always going on the second transmission, however, as soon as the driver accelerates sharply, or activates Launch Control, E-TRON GT switches to the first transmission with a shorter gear ratio. In Audi E-Tron GT Quattro, two powerful electric motors provide confident electric four-wheel drive and stunning running and dynamic characteristics. The basic power of the RS E-Tron GT is announced at 440 kW, with the ability to increase it to 475 kW in Launch Control mode. E-TRON GT Quattro indicators are slightly modest, 350 kW as usual, 390 kW in Launch Control mode.
The dimensions of the Audi E-Tron GT also hint that this is not just a Gran Turismo, and its highest category (D-sh-c) - 4.99 × 1.96 × 1.41. Large wheels, wider track, flat silhouette, long wheel base. With Taycan, his visually relates to the attached line of the roof, especially from behind. But despite this, even for the rear passengers, the level of comfort is ensured for the rear passengers, and at the same time the rear trunk is more than at Taycan, 405 liters vs. 366. The front trunk also has a slightly larger volume - 85 liters. Electric car Audi E-Tron GT and its version, this is certainly not a utilitarian car for everyday trips to work or to the store. This is a car for the feeling of pleasure from driving, and the management process. All versions will be available for orders from spring, and supplies will begin in the summer. E-Tron GT version will cost 99,800 €, and RS E-Tron GT at 138,200 €.
