Condensed information

The full appeal of electric driving:

the Audi e-tron GT quattro

With the e-tron GT quattro (combined electric power consumption in kWh/100 km
(62.1 mi)*: 19.6–18.8 (NEDC), CO2 emissions combined in g/km (g/mi)*: 0), Audi is
demonstrating just how exciting electric mobility can be. The four-door coupé combines
emotive design with a powerful drive, dynamic handling, and a long range. The e-tron GT**
heralds a new era: It is the gran turismo of the future and a signature car for the brand with
the Four Rings.

A new generation gran turismo: sportiness, convenience, and sustainability

It is an Audi such as the world has never seen before: With the e-tron GT**, the brand is
demonstrating its plans for shaping an emotive and exciting future of mobility. Presales in
Europe for the all-electric Gran Turismo kicked off in mid-February 2021 together with two
models. The e-tron GT quattro** is priced from EUR 99,800 in Germany. The RS e-tron GT
(combined electric power consumption in kWh/100 km (62.1 mi)*: 20.2–19.3 (NEDC), CO2
emissions combined in g/km (g/mi)*: 0) is the brand’s new electric spearhead and listed at
EUR 138,200. Both models are powerful, fast, and dynamic, and both have zero local emissions.
The sum of these strengths adds up to a character that reinterprets the idea of the gran turismo.

Aesthetics arise from efficiency: the exterior design and aerodynamics

The exterior of the Audi e-tron GT** is a dynamic work of art with balanced proportions – a long
wheelbase and wide track, large wheels and a flat roofline. The four-door coupé is 4.99 meters
(16.4 ft) long and 1.96 meters (6.4 ft) wide, but is just 1.41 meters (4.6 ft) high. This is made
possible by recesses in the high-voltage battery: The front passengers can place their feet in
them, which allows them to sit in a low yet comfortable position. Every detail of the exterior
design is harmonious – from the headlights (available with Audi laser light as an option), the
powerful quattro blisters, and the wheels, all the way to the large diffuser at the rear end.
Customers can choose from nine paint colors and two styling packages. The roof is made of glass
as standard, and of light carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) as an option.

Aesthetics arise from efficiency – the drag coefficient of the Audi e-tron GT** is just 0.24. Active
elements manage the aerodynamics. Two controllable inlets supply the front brakes and the
thermal management with cooling air as required. The rear spoiler extends to two positions

depending on the driving situation. The fully paneled underbody, which flows into a broad
diffuser, and the aero blades with which some wheels are equipped complete the aerodynamics
concept. The outer skin of the electric gran turismo is made entirely of aluminum. Parts made of
hot-shaped steel form the rigid and impact-resistant backbone of the passenger compartment,
with support from the aluminum housing of the high-voltage battery. The front and rear sections
integrate large components made of cast aluminum and aluminum profiles.

Spacious and elegant: the interior

In addition, the interior of the Audi e-tron GT quattro (combined electric power consumption in
kWh/100 km (62.1 mi)*: 19.6–18.8 (NEDC), CO2 emissions combined in g/km (g/mi)*: 0) and RS
e-tron GT (combined electric power consumption in kWh/100 km (62.1 mi)*: 20.2–19.3 (NEDC),
CO2 emissions combined in g/km (g/mi)*: 0) offers the ambiance of a classic gran turismo.
Separated by a wide center console, the driver and front passenger sit in a sporty and low
position. The interior is airy, and the instrument panel is based on Audi’s “monoposto” design
and so faces toward the driver. The luggage compartment in the rear has a volume of 405 liters
(14.3 cu ft); the RS model** with the standard Bang & Olufsen Premium Sound System offers
350 liters (12.4 cu ft) of space. The storage compartment beneath the hood provides another 81
liters (2.9 cu ft) of volume.

The progressive elegance of the interior design emphasizes the character of the e-tron GT**. The
third characteristic of the gran turismo, aside from sportiness and comfort, is sustainability. The
floor carpet and floor mats are made of recycled material, such as old fishing nets, as standard.
The sport seats plus with 14-way adjustment – the middle of the three seat variants – are
available with two covers, both of which are also made largely from recycled polyester.
Customers with exquisite taste can also opt for high-quality leather or inlays made of silk-matt
carbon. Those who are looking for even more individual solutions can find them in the Audi
exclusive range from Audi Sport GmbH.

Powerful: electric all-wheel drive and recuperation

With its two electric motors on the front and rear axles, the Audi e-tron GT** is a sporty touring
sports car with a confident motor variant. Depending on the model, it delivers an output of
350 kW (476 PS) or, as an RS version**, 440 kW (598 PS); in overboost, the e-tron GT quattro
can even briefly deliver 390 kW (530 PS) and the RS e-tron GT 475 kW (646 PS). The total torque
is 630 Nm (464.7 lb-ft) or 830 Nm (612.2 lb-ft). The RS model completes the standard sprint
from zero to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 3.3 seconds. When the driver fully depresses the
accelerator pedal from a standstill, the two-speed transmission on the rear axle engages first
gear.

Thanks to its lightning-fast control operations, the electric all-wheel drive provides the e-tron
GT** with maximum dynamism, stability, and traction in any driving situation. When the driver
releases the right-hand pedal, the gran turismo usually switches to coasting mode. While
braking, the electric motors perform decelerations alone up to around 0.3 g, i.e. the vast
majority of all everyday driving situations.

Powerful and progressive: the e-tron sport sound

The e-tron GT (combined electric power consumption in kWh/100 km (62.1 mi)*: 19.6–18.8
(NEDC), CO2 emissions combined in g/km (g/mi)*: 0) is a work of art in terms of not only
technology and design but also acoustics – that is, if the customer also ordered the e-tron sport
sound, which comes as standard with the RS model (combined electric power consumption in
kWh/100 km (62.1 mi)*: 20.2–19.3 (NEDC), CO2 emissions combined in g/km (g/mi)*: 0). Two
control units and amplifiers generate a separate interior and exterior sound which is output by
two loudspeakers each outside and inside the vehicle. The e-tron sport sound has a high-quality
and progressive sound, and the driver can activate it and modulate its amplitude via the Audi
drive select system.

Fast charging and long ranges: the high-voltage battery

The maximum range up to 488 kilometers (303,2 mi) that the e-tron GT** achieves is every bit
as outstanding as its driving performance. Its high-voltage battery integrates 396 pouch cells
with a flexible outer shell and provides a net capacity of 84 kWh (93 kWh gross). Its voltage level
of 800 volts enables fast direct current (DC) charging with a maximum of 270 kW. Under ideal
conditions, it takes only five minutes to charge for a distance of around 100 kilometers (62.1
mi). With the e-tron Charging Service, customers can charge with alternating and direct current
at around 200,000 charging points in Europe using just a single card.

The thermal management of the e-tron GT** consists of four cooling circuits and keeps the
battery and drive components at their optimum temperature levels. When the driver sets a fast­charging station as the destination in the navigation system, the battery is already cooled or
heated to a temperature at which it can be charged as quickly as possible on the way to the
charging station. The standard heat pump reduces the loss of range that the electric climate
control causes in winter in particular. The free myAudi app allows the owner of the e-tron GT** to
monitor and control the charging processes and pre-entry climate control from their
smartphone.

Simultaneously dynamic and relaxed: the suspension

The Audi e-tron GT** suspension strikes a balance between dynamism and comfort. The
installation position of the battery and the electric motor creates a low center of gravity and a

balanced axle load distribution. The wheel suspensions are designed as a sporty wishbone
construction, and almost all axle components – including the links and subframes – are made of
lightweight aluminum.

Audi drive select, the driving dynamics system with four modes and controlled damping, comes
as standard in every e-tron GT (power consumption combined in kWh/100 km (62.1 mi)*: 19.6–

18.8 (NEDC), CO2 emissions combined in g/km (g/mi)*: 0). In the RS model (combined electric
power consumption in kWh/100 km (62.1 mi)*: 20.2–19.3 (NEDC), CO2 emissions combined in
g/km (g/mi)*: 0), the differential integrates an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch that
further improves agility and traction. The controlled three-chamber adaptive air suspension
enables excellent ride comfort and a wide spread in terms of handling. The brake disks are
coated with tungsten carbide, which further improves their already strong performance. All
three features are available as an option for the e-tron GT quattro**.

Extremely lightweight and fade-resistant carbon fiber ceramic brakes are available as an
alternative for both models**. The all-wheel steering is another high-end option. At low speeds,
it turns the rear wheels slightly in the opposite direction of the front wheels to increase agility
and reduce the turning circle. At higher speeds, it increases handling stability by turning the
wheels in the same direction. Wheels are available in sizes from 19 to 21 inches.

Fully connected: controls, infotainment, and assist systems

Like all Audi models, the e-tron GT is connected extensively. The displays and controls operate
via the digital Audi virtual cockpit plus that is controlled via the multifunction steering wheel
and via the central MMI touch display. The third control level is the natural language control,
which also accesses the knowledge of the cloud. The MMI navigation plus brings the online
services from Audi connect on board. One of these is the e-tron route planner, which calculates
the charging stops such that the driver reaches their destination as quickly as possible. A head­up display, the Audi phone box, and the Bang & Olufsen 3D Premium Sound System (standard in
the RS model**) are available as options.

The driver assist systems are subdivided into the Tour, City, and Park packages, which are
combined in the assist system plus. The (remote) park assist plus maneuvers the e-tron GT** into
and out of a parking space at the push of a button. The driver can remain inside the car or get out
beforehand – in this case, they start and supervise the parking maneuver via the myAudi app.

Craftsmanship meets smart factory: production

The e-tron GT (combined electric power consumption in kWh/100 km (62.1 mi)*: 19.6–18.8
(NEDC), CO2 emissions combined in g/km (g/mi)*: 0) is the first fully electric car from Audi to be

built in Germany. It rolls off the line at Audi’s Böllinger Höfe at the Neckarsulm site. The small­series production at this site was expanded and converted for its new task, in the course of which
the skilled craftsmanship of the previous facility has been supplemented by digital processes
and smart technologies. The electric gran turismo is assembled on a shared assembly line with
the R8** high-performance sports car. The entire production process is net carbon-neutral. It
uses 100 percent eco-electricity, with a combined heat and power plant fired with biogas
providing the necessary heat.

The car in detail

Emotive design and revolutionary technology: the
Audi e-tron GT quattro and the Audi RS e-tron GT

Electric mobility is becoming dynamic and fascinating, as Audi is proving with the e-tron GT**.
The four-door coupé reinterprets the classic idea of the gran turismo: Its design is highly
emotive, its technology is exhilarating. Two powerful electric motors provide dynamic driving
performance and confident electric all-wheel drive. With its net energy content of 84 kWh, the
high-voltage battery enables ranges of up to 488 km (303.2 mi) and can be recharged
extremely quickly, thanks to its 800 V technology. Suspension, lights, controls, connection, or
e-tron sport sound: The Audi e-tron GT quattro (combined electric power consumption in
kWh/100 km (62.1 mi )*: 19.6–18.8 (NEDC), CO2 emissions combined in g/km (g/mi)*: 0) and
RS e-tron GT (combined electric power consumption in kWh/100 km (62.1 mi )*: 20.2–19.3
(NEDC), CO2 emissions combined in g/km (g/mi)*: 0) kicked off their presales simultaneously
in mid-February 2021. Both models** demonstrate accumulated technical expertise – and the
Audi brand’s strong passion for minute details.

Positioning

Audi remains in the fast lane when it comes to electric mobility. The e-tron GT** is a gran
turismo with dynamic elegance, and an Audi such as the world has never seen before. It is
powerful, sporty, confident, and emotive, and it reflects all the passion with which the brand
develops and builds its cars. Following the Audi e-tron** electric SUV and the e-tron Sportback**
electric SUV coupé, with which Audi embarked on its electric mobility journey, the e-tron GT** is
now making another strong statement.

The all-electric Gran Turismo was launched in the markets with two versions in mid-February
2021: as an Audi e-tron GT quattro** with a base price of EUR 99,800 and as an RS e-tron GT**
from EUR 138,200. The RS model** is the dynamic spearhead of electric mobility at Audi. It
outputs a system power of 440 kW (598 PS) and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mi) in

3.3 seconds in overboost. Its suspension comprises features such as three-chamber adaptive air
suspension, all-wheel steering (optional), and an electronically controlled rear-axle differential
lock.

The RS e-tron GT** and e-tron GT quattro** offer excellent everyday usability and long-distance
capability. They combine perfection, fascination, and innovation to form a technical work of art:
