Like the E-Tron SUV, the car’s battery pack is sandwiched in aluminium for crash strength, and the pack lies between the two axles and makes up the floor of the vehicle. Audi’s team spent 9.2-million CPU hours on aero simulations, all of which resulted in the car’s low drag coefficient of 0.24Cd.īattery and charging Liquid cooled lithium-ion battery

There’s also active aero on the front inlets and rear wing, and this plus the air suspension (which varies height to reduce drag) adds 30km to the car’s range. Visually, there’s a distinctive new body-coloured air louvre behind the front wheel, which along with the front air curtain and aero bladed-wheels help reduce turbulence. There haven’t been major departures from existing tropes (large diamond-shaped grille, flat matrix headlights etc) but one highlight of the car’s design, and one which reflects its sustainable nature says Audi, is the attention paid to aerodynamics. While it’s a BEV flagship, Audi says the car will kick off a new iteration of its design language. The rear with the ‘overhanging’ light bar that expands into chevron-marked taillights makes the car look most similar to the extant Audi A7 Sportback, given both cars have a similar product brief, but the E-Tron GT is very slightly longer, wider, and lower, at 4.99-metres long, 1.96-metres wide, and 1.41-metres tall. Unlike other Audi models, the RS and standard E-Tron GT have no major differences other than badging, wheels, and the standard brakes. *The most powerful car until now was the R8 Performance, at 620hp.įind out what else Audi is bringing to Singapore in 2021Īudi says it’s designed the E-Tron as a long-distance GT, so it’s meant to look both elegant and sporty, so they started with a long wheelbase, wide track, big wheels and balanced proportions. While the car’s Audi-ness is unique, much of the technology has been premiered by the Porsche Taycan, with which the E-Tron GT shares its VW Group J1 platform. With that in mind, its key competitors will be its related cousin, the Porsche Taycan, and the Tesla Model S.
By our estimates, the standard E-Tron GT will cost around S$400,000 with COE, while the RS E-Tron GT should cost at least S$550,000 with COE.Īt roughly five-metres in length, the car is the same size as an A6 large sedan, but it’s a four-door, five-seater gran turismo with a focus on looking good and going fast. The E-Tron GT is scheduled for arrival in Singapore in the third quarter of 2021. The standard E-Tron GT has yet to be homologated, but we expect pricing to follow soon for that car. The latter has 680hp peak power, compared to the RS E-Tron GT’s 646hp, and it’s 0.1-second quicker from 0-100km/h, or 3.2 seconds.
UPDATE: Audi Singapore has revealed pricing for the RS E-Tron GT model at S$620,000 with COE, that makes it a little less expensive than the Porsche Taycan Turbo, which retails for S$600,058 without COE.
The former has 476hp (530hp overboost), and the latter has 598hp (646hp overboost). Both have a similar appearance and all-wheel drive via dual motors (one per axle). There will be two versions: The E-Tron GT quattro, and the RS E-Tron GT quattro. Audi says the E-Tron GT is its electric flagship product – much like BMW iX is the flagship electron-user.

The E-Tron GT, with its dedicated BEV platform, is meant to show what Audi is capable of when it goes all in full charge. The E-Tron SUV (read our Singapore review here) was its first toe in the BEV pool, adapted from existing vehicle architecture.
