Big news for fans of electric performance and premium comfort! Audi is expanding its Gran Turismo family with a new base model, the Audi e-tron GT quattro. This new addition aims to make entering the battery-electric premium segment even more appealing.
Meet the Newcomer
You can order this attractive offer directly now, with prices starting at 108,900 euros. This model rounds off the existing GT family which includes the S e-tron GT, RS e-tron GT, and the RS e-tron GT performance. Like the other GT models, it’s being produced at the Audi Sport GmbH Böllinger Höfe plant in Neckarsulm.
Power and Staying Power
Don’t let “base model” fool you – this car is quick! It can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.0 seconds when using Launch Control mode. It boasts a system output of 370 kW, which jumps up to 430 kW (585 PS) with Launch Control.
But it’s not just about speed. The e-tron GT quattro is built for real-world use. It has a gross battery capacity of 105 kWh (net 97 kWh). This translates to a remarkable range of up to 622 kilometers (386.5 mi), making it well-equipped for everything from highway drives to city traffic.
Charging Speed That Impresses
Running low on juice? No problem. The base model features a remarkable charging performance of up to 320 kW. This means you only need short charging stops. Audi says it can recharge roughly 285 kilometers (177 mi) in just ten minutes. The high-voltage battery can access its full charging power across an expanded thermal range, and the e-tron route planner helps by automatically preconditioning the battery for the best possible charging performance.
Style That Turns Heads
Drawing on the Audi Gran Turismo philosophy, this car has a striking design language. It embodies the philosophy not just through its long-distance capability but its looks too. You’ll notice large wheels, a sleek, coupé-like silhouette, and an extended wheelbase contributing to its sporty proportions. The design isn’t just for show; a low drag coefficient of 0.24 and controllable air intakes contribute to impressive efficiency and little driving noise, which is ideal for relaxed driving.
Design details include a black mask accentuating the inverted Singleframe grille at the front, colored like the body. At the back, an elegantly designed diffuser with vertical fins provides a powerful finish.
Comfort and Practicality Inside
Inside, the sleek roofline creates a dynamic contour. The high-voltage battery is located in the underbody and features strategically placed recesses that act as footwells, ensuring generous seating comfort for all passengers. The driver and front passenger get eight-way adjustable sport seats with integrated headrests, designed to be particularly comfortable on long journeys.
Need space for gear? The rear seat backrest can be partially or completely folded down. The trunk offers 405 liters (14.3 cu ft) of space for sporting equipment. There’s even an additional front luggage compartment with a volume of 77 liters (2.7 cu ft).
Smart Dynamics
The car features an intelligent quattro system that distributes drive torque between the front and rear axles fully variably and at lightning speed. This ensures optimum traction in various driving conditions. The system analyzes the situation and adjusts power distribution accordingly, achieving precise control in milliseconds. Plus, the new e-tron GT quattro weighs about 30 kilograms (66.1 lbs) less than the S model, which benefits both dynamics and efficiency.
