With the Audi RS e-tron GT performance, Audi is debuting its first fully electric RS performance model.
The four-door coupé demonstrates bundled technical expertise – and Audi’s passion for details.
Powerful, sporty, and confident, it reflects the brand’s high standards for developing and building cars.
The RS e-tron GT performance is the dynamic flagship for electric mobility at Audi.
In addition to a permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PSM) on the front axle with a reinforced driveshaft and an output of 252 kW (342 PS), the electric Gran Turismo features a newly developed PSM on the rear axle with an output of 415 kW (564 PS).The increased copper density of the special hairpin winding in the electric motors’ stator maximizes current conduction.
Moreover, the rotor in the electric motor at the rear is more compact and lighter.
Overall, Audi has reduced the weight of the electric motor on the rear axle by ten kilos.
What’s more, both electric motors have power reserves for dynamic driving situations.
Launch Control can briefly use resources from the HV battery and the electric motors for an output of up to 680 kW / 925 PS.
Moreover, the front axle features modified power electronics with a revised pulse inverter, enabling higher discharge currents of up to 600 amps – 300 amps more than in the other variants, the Audi S e-tron GT3 and the Audi RS e-tron GT.
The rear axle also operates at 600 amps.
Audi has increased braking recuperation to 400 kW.
