How’s this for an absolutely EPIC electric car showdown? We’ve finally got our hands on the all-new Audi RS e-tron GT, and it’s going up against the Porsche Taycan Turbo and the Tesla Model S Performance!
So how do they compare on paper? Well first up we’ve got Mat in the Audi - their most powerful road-going car to date, no less! Powered by two electric motors, it can put down 646hp and 830Nm, while it also weighs in at 2,340kg. Alongside him we have Yianni in the Taycan Turbo, which also comes with two electric motors but the ability to put down slightly more power, so it can produce 687hp and 850Nm of torque. In terms of weight, it’s almost identical to the Audi, weighing in at 2,380kg.
And then finally we have the Tesla. It may cost a fair bit less than the Audi & Porsche (£70k vs £112k & £116k respectively), but it easily puts down the most power! With (you guessed it) two electric motors, it has the ability to produce 778hp and an epic 1,140Nm of torque! What’s more, it’s also the lightest car here, with a total weight of 2,316kg.
So, based on that, it’ll be an easy win for the Tesla, right?! There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Wouldn't have been a fair comparison unless you looked at the raw # of kWh used. Tesla has a 100 kWh pack which would retain a higher % at the end even if it used the exact same amount of energy as the Porsche and Audi, which only have 93.4 kWh packs.
