THE AUDI RS E-TRON GT: AUDI'S TAKE ON EV'S
Have a look at this exquisite electric German Saloon car, the Audi RS e-tron GT.
Although some are saying it has got Porsche Taycan written all over it, the brand new Audi RS e-tron GT is one hell of a stunner in it's own right.
With the world shifting closer to becoming fully electric every day, it gives us great comfort knowing that the essence of what a performance car is at heart, is still going to carry over into the new world order.
The new Audi RS e-tron GT is a prime example of exactly that. No longer are electric cars ghastly, unappealing and, quite frankly, incredibly boring to drive.
Just looking at the Audi RS e-tron GT, you get a sense that it is something rather special. Audi has mixed up a whole new range of paints that will only be available to the e-tron range. It's the type of car you can look back at after parking it, and it will put a smile on your face, thanks to its design. And don't get us started on those matrix laser headlights that strike fear into the Tesla in front of you.
The RS e-tron GT is Audi's take on what the future of electric performance vehicles should be. And we like to believe they are on the right track!
