Updated e-tron flagship 'is the most powerful production car that Audi has ever built'
It’s fairly unusual for a very good-looking Audi to be passed over for another model as frequently as we must assume. The recent update to the Taycan means that Audi’s four-door Gran Turismo inevitably follows suit. As you might expect, many if not most of the modifications are shared, but, as it did before the e-tron does come with a number of its own quirks. So let’s dive in.
The newcomer is worth calling out for several reasons. For one thing, it’s the first-ever fully electric RS performance variant. This means it gets a smattering of unique design tweaks but also a ‘matte, darkened carbon roof’ which is exclusive to it.
Next up the chain, the RS e-tron GT, which would previously deliver 636hp in boost mode, now gets a total output of 856hp - making it only slightly inferior to the 884hp Taycan Turbo and very nearly as quick at 2.8 seconds to 62mph. Predictably, the RS e-tron GT performance, which gets a revised pulse inverter on its front axle, goes one better and slides neatly under the Turbo S with 925hp in total and a sprint time of 2.5 seconds .
Perhaps most significantly, that also includes the larger 97kWh battery and the ability to rapidly charge up to 320kW. Audi reckons that in ideal conditions that would mean charging from 10 per cent to 80 per cent will take just 18 minutes - and just 10 minutes charge would deliver a range of up to 174 miles.
