Audi RS e-tron GT Performance
Let’s get this out of the way—the new Audi RS e-tron GT Performance is the quickest-accelerating production Audi ever. How quick? With launch control activated, its staggering 912 horsepower rockets from 0-60 mph in just 2.4 seconds. That’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it level of speed.
But the RS e-tron GT Performance isn’t just about sheer velocity. Audi has engineered this grand tourer to be as thrilling to drive as it is refined, and for those who crave an auditory experience to match the power, Audi allows drivers to customize the vehicle’s sound—from the near-silent hum of an electric drive to a more progressive, dynamic soundtrack.
On long highway stretches just outside of Las Vegas, the RS e-tron GT Performance revealed its dual personality—an exhilarating powerhouse wrapped in a luxurious, daily-drive-friendly package. The 2025 model sets an all-new benchmark for power and acceleration while maintaining the grand touring comfort expected of an Audi.
Inside, innovation takes center stage. The steering wheel integrates satellite control buttons, including a push-to-pass boost mode for an instant surge of power. The cabin is further elevated by an all-new, available glass roof with transparency control. Using liquid crystal film technology, the roof seamlessly transitions through nine different tint levels, from slightly shaded to fully frosted, all managed via the MMI display.
Audi has significantly enhanced braking recuperation, ensuring optimal efficiency across all load ranges while maintaining repeatable output performance. The RS e-tron GT Performance’s thermal management system engages an adaptive cooling circuit, that ensures the battery pack remains at peak performance—even under extreme conditions.
For those drawn to cutting-edge materials, the optional matte darkened carbon roof and forged carbon fiber elements make a striking statement. Unlike traditional woven carbon fiber, forged carbon is created by compressing fiber segments with a bonding resin, resulting in a wholly unique appearance—no two pieces are identical.
Forged carbon is used extensively throughout the RS performance model, from the bumper inlays to the rocker panels, diffusers, and side mirrors. The interior is just as striking, featuring forged carbon accents on the dashboard and door sills, seamlessly tying the cabin to the exterior design.
Audi has always been meticulous about sound—whether it’s the tuned growl of an internal combustion engine or the immersive experience of a world-class audio system. In the 100% electric RS e-tron GT Performance, the 16-speaker Bang & Olufsen 3D Premium Sound System delivers unparalleled depth and clarity, turning every drive into a personal concert. Crisp, immersive, and breathtakingly precise, it reveals nuances in music that feel almost otherworldly.
As part of the two-car 2025 e-tron GT electric super sedan lineup in the U.S., the RS e-tron GT Performance is joined by the new S e-tron GT model—offering remarkable performance with the same design DNA that makes this electric grand tourer unmistakably Audi. But make no mistake—the RS e-tron GT Performance stands in a class of its own, a forward-thinking vision of speed, innovation, and luxury.
With its relentless power, avant-garde design, and cutting-edge technology, the RS e-tron GT Performance isn’t just setting new standards—it’s redefining the road ahead.
