2021 Audi E-Tron GT Teased In Massive Photo Gallery, Hot E-Tron GT RS Variant Confirmed

The Porsche Taycan’s sister model is called the Audi E-Tron GT, and while you can’t buy it today, it will be soon enough, as the automaker has announced that it will enter production before the end of the year.

Set to be put together at Neckarsulm, Germany, which is where the R8 supercar comes to life too, the new Tesla Model S fighter has been teased in a very generous image gallery that partially shows it from multiple angles.

Previewed by the 2018 concept car, the E-Tron GT has been toned down, but not by much, with the latest pics showing the big Audi grille up front, flanked by slim headlights and air intakes with three horizontal slats. The aggressive lines on the hood and sides give it a more vibrant presence, while emphasizing its sporty character is the sloping roofline. The rear light strip, bumper and diffuser have been modestly revised compared to the concept.

Audi has remained tight-lipped when it comes to the powertrain of the electric model, though it is expected to pack dual electric motors in the initial configuration, backed up by a 96 kWh battery pack. Understood to support 350 kW fast charging, it will give it a range of about 250 miles (400 km) in the WLTP cycle. In terms of performance, it will probably mirror the show car, which had 582 HP available via the right pedal.

Also, confirmed by CEO Markus Duesmann, the E-Tron GT RS will serve as the range-topping model and will launch alongside the regular variant.

“We are taking things another step further; I am pleased to announce today that there will be also an RS version of the e-Tron GT, which will be launched together with the e-Tron GT.”
