Audi’s First Fully Electric RS Model
The RS e-tron GT is the first electric vehicle to carry the prestigious RS (RennSport) badge, marking Audi’s entry into high-performance EV territory.
Dual-Motor All-Wheel Drive System
It features dual electric motors — one on each axle — delivering quattro all-wheel drive and producing up to 637 horsepower (in overboost mode).
Blistering Acceleration
The RS e-tron GT sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (0–62 mph) in just 3.3 seconds, making it one of Audi’s quickest production vehicles ever.
Shares a Platform with the Porsche Taycan
It’s built on the J1 performance platform co-developed with Porsche, meaning it shares its underpinnings with the Porsche Taycan, but features unique Audi design and tuning.
800-Volt Electrical Architecture
Thanks to its 800-volt system, the RS e-tron GT supports DC fast charging up to 270 kW, allowing it to charge from 5% to 80% in about 22.5 minutes.
Estimated Range Over 470 km (290 miles)
Under WLTP standards, the RS e-tron GT offers an estimated range of up to 472 km (293 miles) on a single charge, combining performance with real-world usability.
Striking Exterior Styling
The car features aggressive RS styling, a low-slung silhouette, matrix LED or laser headlights, and active aerodynamic elements that enhance both looks and efficiency.
Sporty and Sustainable Interior
The interior combines premium materials with eco-conscious options, including vegan leather alternatives and recycled materials, along with RS-specific seats and trims.
Dynamic Driving Capabilities
It includes rear-wheel steering, adaptive air suspension, and torque vectoring, providing both comfort and agility — whether on winding roads or highways.
A New Flagship for Audi Performance
The RS e-tron GT represents the future of Audi’s RS division, blending sustainability, electrification, and motorsport-inspired performance in a luxury GT package.
The Audi RS e-tron GT is the brand’s flagship electric grand tourer, sharing its J1 platform with the Porsche Taycan Turbo but with Audi’s signature Quattro-driven flair. With 646 HP, 0–100 km/h in 3.3 seconds, and laser-sharp styling, it’s a Tesla Model S Plaid alternative for those who crave German engineering.

Special Editions
RS e-tron GT "Carbon Edition": +€15k (full CFRP trim).
Audi Exclusive Paint (e.g., Merlin Purple): +€7k–€12k.
2. Key Factors Affecting Value
✅ What Adds Value
Performance Pack: Rear-wheel steering + dynamic chassis = +€5k.
Ceramic Brakes: €8k option, but barely used (regen does most braking).
Audi CPO Warranty: Extends battery/component coverage to 2y/unlimited km.
⚠️ What Kills Value
No Battery Health Report: Demand an Audi Dealer SoH check (should be ≥90%).
Track Use: Overheating throttles performance—check thermal logs.
Charging Port Damage: CCS plugs can wear out (€2k repair).
3. Where to Buy in the EU?
Official Channels
Audi Approved Used (Best for warranty transfers).
Premium Dealers: Four Motors (Germany), Jardine Motors (UK).
Private Sales & Leasing Returns
Mobile.de, Autoscout24 (filter for "Full Audi History").
LeaseLoco (Ex-lease deals, but high km).
Pro Tip: German-delivered cars often have better specs (matrix LEDs standard).
4. Market Trends
📉 Depreciation Curve
Year 1: –30% (€160k new → €110k used).
Year 2–3: –15% yearly (stabilizes as tech matures).
⚠️ Trap Warning
"Too cheap" listings: Often ex-rental cars with abused batteries.
5. Must-Do Checks
🔋 EV-Specific:
Battery State of Health (SoH): Audi dealers can run diagnostics—reject <85%.
DC Fast-Charge Test: Should sustain 150kW+ @ 20–80% SOC.
OTA Update History: Latest software improves range/performance.
🚗 General:
Tire Wear: 21" summers wear fast (€500/corner).
Paint Quality: Thin clear coat—check for chips.
Fun Fact: The RS e-tron GT’s sound system pumps fake V8 noises into the cabin, disable it unless you love irony.
Ownership Costs
Annual Maintenance: €1,500 (tires, fluids, cabin filters).
Insurance: €2,500+/year (high repair costs for aluminum body).
Charging: €15–€25 for 400 km @ public DC fast chargers.
Alternatives
Porsche Taycan Turbo (€120k–€180k used): Sharper handling, uglier nose.
Tesla Model S Plaid (€90k–€130k): Faster, worse build quality.
Lucid Air GT (€110k–€140k): More range, less brand cachet.
Verdict
✔ Buy if: You want a high-tech GT with Audi’s Quattro DNA and Porsche bones.
✖ Avoid if: You road-trip often—charging stops add hours vs. gas.
For €90k, you’ll get a low-mileage 2022 model—just verify battery health and avoid ex-rental cars.
