Electric cars are coming. Or more accurately, they’re here. Audi’s e-tron crossover helped push the company’s EV efforts, but the stylish e-tron GT turns the Audi EV portfolio into something you’d be excited to see at your local Cars and Coffee. The Audi e-tron GT comes standard with a pair of electric motors that drive the front and rear axle. These permanent magnet motors supply 496 hp and 464 lb-ft of torque to the wheels, which help this EV sedan sprint to 60 mph from a dead stop in 3.9 seconds. Those figures increase in RS trim to 590 hp and 612 lb-ft of torque, which shrinks the 60-mph time to 3.1 seconds. Powering the e-tron GT’s motors is a 93-kWh battery pack that can feed these motors for 238 EPA-estimated miles.
On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren hops behind the wheel of the 2022 Audi e-tron GT and puts it through its paces. Wren walks you around the e-tron GT and highlights the car’s features and styling before climbing into the interior to explain how it feels. Wren also takes you along for a live recorded drive review and talks with Autoweek’s Patrick Carone about the e-tron GT. The two talk about the car’s performance, its features, its direction, and how normal the e-tron GT feels. Closing the show, the two talk about what makes the e-tron GT special.
