Primed for the road ahead, the electric Gran Turismos are the embodiment of Audi\u2019s vision for the future of mobility and serve as halo models for Audi\u2019s ever-growing electric portfolio.\r\n\r\nProgress, craftsmanship, and a passion for high performance come together in the Audi e-tron GT quattro and its RS counterpart, with both models featuring exhilarating launch control, boosting the cars\u2019 ability to deliver up to 530 Hp on the e-tron GT quattro, and 646 Hp on the RS, putting extraordinary power at the driver\u2019s fingertips.\r\n\r\nIn both models, the interior features an elegant instrument panel with driver orientation and \u201cmonoposto character\u201d taken straight out of the R8 supercar, giving the driver a feeling of open, yet controlled space within the cockpit. Drivers have a low seating position and wide centre console.\r\n\r\nThe chassis includes features such as adaptive three-chamber air suspension and an electronic differential lock on the rear axle. Matrix LED headlights with Audi laser light come as standard in the RS version while a number of options are available, including up to 21-inch wheels and all-wheel steering.\r\n\r\nAnd since the dynamic work of art must also sound good, Audi has composed a unique soundtrack for the\u00a0e-tron\u00a0GT- one that is powerful and progressive, emanating from speakers integrated within the vehicle\u2019s architecture, and changing as its driving behavior changes. Another automotive first \u2013 just as expected from the brand with the four rings.\r\n\r\nThe e-tron GT quattro has a range of up to 488 kilometres, while the RS e-tron GT has a range of up to 472 kilometres (in accordance with the WLTP). This is made possible by the battery which has a net capacity of 83.7 kWh. The e-tron GT only needs 22.5 minutes on a high-power charging (HPC) column for a typical charge of 5% to 80%. This makes the e-tron GT efficiently sporty, and offers a 100 km range on a five minute charge.\r\n\r\nCarsten Bender, Managing Director, Audi Middle East commented: \u201cThe introduction of the Audi e-tron GT quattro and RS e-tron GT marks an exciting time for the brand in the Middle East, which is one of the first global markets to make this model available for our customers. With these models, we have introduced an Audi unlike any other \u2013 it is a stand-alone Gran Turismo, reinterpreted for the future. Its powerful electric motors provide dynamic driving performance and confident electric all-wheel drive. Its beautiful lines, expressive design and impeccable curves define a model that is dynamic, but also luxurious. We have a four-door coup\u00e9 whose design is as exhilarating as its futuristic technology.\u201d\r\n\r\nWith the launch of the e-tron GT, Audi is continuing its transformation into a leader of sustainable premium mobility. In 2020, the brand with the four rings was by far the largest manufacturer of electric vehicles among Germany\u2019s three premium brands.\r\n\r\nTo coincide with the e-tron GT\u2019s arrival in the Middle East, Audi is also investing in several initiatives focusing on the development of a high performance charging infrastructure in order to contribute to EV readiness in the region.\r\n\r\nThe Audi e-tron GT quattro and RS e-tron GT are now available to view and test drive at local dealers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Qatar. The new model will become available across further markets over the next 12 months.\r\n\r\nCustomers who wish to explore virtually, configure online, view tailor made content or explore the Google map style range indicator, can visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.audi-me.com\">www.audi-me.com<\/a> or their local dealer to explore and find out more.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]"},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The e-tron GT hits the mark with a perfect balance between sportiness, comfort and sustainability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[163,90,129,44],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.audimiddleeast.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2057"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.audimiddleeast.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.audimiddleeast.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.audimiddleeast.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.audimiddleeast.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2057"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/news.audimiddleeast.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2057\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2328,"href":"https:\/\/news.audimiddleeast.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2057\/revisions\/2328"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.audimiddleeast.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.audimiddleeast.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.audimiddleeast.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
