Overview
The RS e-tron GT is the high-performance version of the e-tron GT, which is currently Audi’s only electric sedan. Upgraded brakes, an enhanced all-wheel-drive system, high-performance summer tires, and upward of 100 more horsepower are some of the upgrades the RS model provides. It’s about the size of the A6, but its rear seats and trunk aren’t as accommodating. However, the RS e-tron GT boasts a striking design that Audi’s non-electric sedans can’t match. The RS e-tron GT rides on the same platform as the Porsche Taycan, and like the Taycan, it does a superb job of blending comfort with impressive performance.
