sensors and navigation data, provided that route guidance is active. The “Tour” assist package
includes further systems in addition: camera-based traffic sign recognition and the emergency
assist, as well as the turn assist and collision avoidance assist, which can prevent collisions with
other vehicles.
Get out and let the car park itself: (remote) park assist plus
Aside from the maneuver assist, the (remote) park assist plus, which the driver activates at the
push of a button, is one of the highlights of the “Park” assist package. It detects suitable parking
spaces and can maneuver the Audi e-tron GT** into and out of a parallel or bay parking space at
the push of a button. The driver is responsible for the maneuver. They can remain inside the car
or get out beforehand – in this case, they start and supervise the parking maneuver via the
myAudi app. By keeping the corresponding button pressed, the e-tron GT** will roll into the
space, in multiple maneuvers if necessary. Once it has reached its final position, it switches off
the drive, activates the parking lock, and locks the doors. The “City” assist package includes the
following safety systems: Audi pre sense rear, side assist, exit warning, intersection assist, and
rear cross-traffic assist.
All systems use the central driver assistance controller (zFAS), which uses the sensors’ data to
continuously compute an exact model of the vehicle’s environment. This way, they can react
precisely and promptly to objects, such as by initiating braking. Depending on the selected
options, the zFAS receives the data to do this from up to five radar sensors, five visual cameras,
the thermal imaging camera for the night vision assist, and 12 ultrasound sensors.
Craftsmanship meets the smart factory
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 Böllinger Höfe at the Neckarsulm site. The smallseries production facility there has been expanded and converted for its new role. The skilled
craftsmanship of the previous facility has been supplemented by digital processes and smart
technologies. During the expansion, production planners made use of new virtual methods.
Production of the e-tron GT** was designed without physical prototypes – a first at Audi.
The body shop combines the skilled craftsmanship of the employees with the full potential of
automated production technology. It consists of an innovative body assembly line along which
each body passes twice. It is constructed around what is called the two-way framer, in which ten
robots are used to attach the inside and outside of the passenger compartment. It combines all
