Audi is giving its all-electric E-tron GT sports sedan higher performance, more battery range, and faster charging speeds for the 2025 model year. It’s also increasing its starting price.
The lineup now includes a new entry S E-tron GT model that starts at $125,500 before destination charges, a far cry from the already expensive $100,000 base it previously sold since the beginning in 2022. There’s also a new RS E-tron GT “Performance” version that starts at a whopping $167,000 before destination charges. We reviewed the 2022 model year version, which was priced at an extravagant $140,000.
However, you’re getting Audi’s quickest car yet for that Performance price tag, which also comes with a special RS performance mode. It packs 912 horsepower and goes 0-60 mph in just 2.4 seconds. That’s getting close to its top-spec platform-sharing sister vehicle, the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, featuring 2.1-second 0-60 mph acceleration.
The new E-tron GT now has a 105kWh battery pack (97 kWh useable), an upgrade from the previous 93.4 kWh. And Audi managed to slightly decrease its weight by 25 pounds. The new pack supports faster 320kW charging, which can take it from 10 to 80 percent in 18 minutes at capable DC fast-charging stations. The new GT has an EPA-estimated range of 300 miles on a single charge compared to 249 miles on the 2024 model.
The new RS E-tron GT Performance models are built in small batches in Germany at the Böllinger Höfe Audi Sport GmbH production facility alongside other trims. They are now available to order in the US.
