The 2022 Audi RS e-Tron GT Is A Crazy Quick Tron Inspired Electric Sport Sedan

[@hellkitty1014]

Audi got the styling and interior ergonomics ON POINT! Thank GOD they didn't hide every control in a stupid screen. And the performance of this model won't have you missing the Porsche.

And also range in the real world far outperforms what the epa says it should get, similar to a tacan.

[@randyragy4592]

Quick correction with the regen braking thing. Both the Audi and the Porsche have regen braking but not one pedal driving. I forget the exact percentage but when you press on the brake pedal, the first ~80% of braking is all regen. Quite a clever method of braking imo. Only in emergency situations will it override regen and use the brakes as much as possible from the very beginning.

[@devongee1776]

@@davevolz6138 sure but if you're not launching the Audi at all between charge cycles, does that equate to 300 miles of range?

[@TIGFAD]

All four vehicles you're talking about have a real world range in the 275-ish mile area. The German companies severely under rate range, horsepower, and acceleration figures. The Taycan RWD can actually go more than 300 miles. Edit: also, once you've lived with an EV for a while(I'm on my 4th one), you really start to not give a shit about range at all. It's a seriously overrated issue.

Great review. Beautiful car. Isn't that about the range of the BMW i3? If you drove that car hard, you'd have to charge it every single night. What is Audi thinking? 238 miles? I guess it's 2015.

[@lpete531]

Exactly, this is something KZbin's influencers never mention, and that goes for all EVs, the harder you drive them the quicker the battery charge is reduced

[@devongee1776]

Depends on how efficient it is. I charged my EV6 to 91% last night and I ended up finding a Stinger that wanted to have fun on the highway the entire way home and after plenty of pulls and just overall driving between 85-105mph for 20 or so minutes straight, I was at 86% battery when I got to my exit. I'll also add that it was raining fairly hard so lots of auxiliary missions were happening, between the windshield wipers and defogger.

[@ftr911drvr]

Kind of a silly comment because the i4 is rated for less than that and it's not just Audi it's Porsche as well. Not to mention alot of electric cars are getting between 200 and 300....maybe reset your expectations...I mean I guess it's reality....

@@44actual Audi always used in-house designs and build on it. Every audi class/model never changes much except little face-lifts and modern lighting. A 2010 A4 would look very much like a 2023 A4. Hyundai on the other hand chances 90%designs of each car and borrows design trends. A 2020 elantra looks nothing like a 2022 elantra. Might as well be a different car all together. Remember audi is leader in those department eg the virtual cockpit and the led running daylights before every car maker copied. Now the new designed elantra is only 2yrs old and copied the sportback with the led trails trend from audi A7. Now this rs-gt borrows cues from the porche, the rs6 and the rs7.
