Audi e-tron GT

Summary 
Audi has summoned its four-door electric coupe to the Indian shores. Joining the e-tron and the e-tron Sportback in the India lineup are the e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT. The electric Gran Turismo are the performance-focused electric vehicles.

Exterior 
Visually, the e-tron GT looks striking with its sharp and aggressive styling. The signature matrix LED headlamps, dual-tone bumpers, blanked-out front grille, an active spoiler with two positions called Eco and Dynamic, and the sloping roofline with the hunkered stance lend the GT a unique and captivating appeal. The alloy wheel sizes range between 19 to 20-inches with three aerodynamic designs. The GT range is offered in nine exterior shades - Ibis White, Ascari Blue, Daytona Grey, Floret Silver, Kemora Grey, Mythos Black, Suzuka Grey, Tactics Green, and Tango Red.

Interior 
The cabin of the GT is widely laid with low-positioned seats and the latest intuitive technology. There’s the 12.3-inch digital driver’s display and a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The upholstery materials can be customised based on the buyer’s choice from sustainable fabrics to full leather. The RS spec gets a sportier look with red inserts on the dashboard, sports seats, and seat belts. Other features on the list include a comfort key, gesture-based electric tailgate, 16-speaker stereo system, an air purifier, a 360-degree camera, park assist, ambient lights, three-zone automatic climate control, and front seats with ventilation and massage function.

Engine and Transmission

The power output on the standard GT with dual electric motors is an impressive 469bhp with 630Nm of torque while the blazing RS is tuned to put out a prodigious 590bhp and a twisting force of 830Nm. You do get Audi’s all-wheel-drive setup as standard across the range. The GT hits the 100kmph mark in 4.1 seconds and has a WLTP range of up to 500km. Meanwhile, the RS-spec has a sprint time of 3.3 seconds with a claimed range of up to 481km.  

The 83.7kWh battery pack can be charged from both fender-mounted flaps with an 11kW AC charger and a faster 22kW AC charger. When charged using a 270kW DC charger, the battery can be juiced from five per cent to 80 per cent in just under 23 minutes. A 50kW  fast charger is also available at select Audi dealerships and can easily be located using the ‘MyAudi Connect’ mobile application.
