₹2 crore (expected price)
Audi just threw down the gauntlet, wrapped in a sleek electric suit that looks straight out of Tony Stark’s garage. Say hello to the 2025 RS e-tron GT and its hypersibling, the RS e-tron GT Performance. If you think electric cars are all about whispering through traffic like a sensible librarian, these bad boys will make you rethink everything with a serious electrifying acceleration. An A-to-Z masterclass in what happens when Audi blends muscle car aggression with a spaceship’s serenity, and then douses it all in eco-friendly fairy dust. We drove it in Frankfurt recently to test how much it has juiced up for the years ahead.
WHAT’S ON THE MENU? AUDI RS E-TRON GT VARIANTS
1 RS e-tron GT S The “entry-level”; if you can call anything with 670 Bhp as basic… If not that, 147 Bhp has been bumped up in it from the already on-road RS e-trons. It does 0-100 in 3.4 seconds, for an ‘entry-level’ it’s confusing figures. Think of it as a tuxedo with sneakers—a blend of posh and power. It’s got more flex than your average TikTok dancer. Though you will wonder from the outside what’s changed, aside from the bumpers, not a single exterior panel has been updated. But now, it’s got juiced up under the hood, and more trims and personalisation are available, including eucalyptus wood for the dashboard.
2 RS e-tron GT RS : The RS goes up by 208 Bhp to get a scorecard of 845 Bhp and can do a 0-100 Km/h run in 2.8 Seconds! The 105kWh battery pack now weighs 9kg less than before at 625 kilograms. It has almost 12% more capacity and claims a range of 609 km.
