Subtle Changes, Same Menacing Presence
Audi didn’t do anything drastic with the exterior — they didn’t need to. The 2025 RS e-tron GT Performance keeps its low-slung, muscular shape. But the grille has been sharpened, the headlights are leaner, and the rear gets a cleaner light bar treatment that stretches edge to edge. It all feels tighter and more confident, like a car that knows exactly what it is.
The tweaks to the diffuser and side skirts aren’t just for show, either — they’re functional aero touches meant to shave drag and keep the car glued at high speed.
Performance That’s Audi’s Best Yet
The big headline is the power: 912 horsepower from dual electric motors. That makes this the most powerful production Audi ever built. It doesn’t waste time, either — 0 to 60 mph comes in 2.4 seconds, with that quiet electric shove pinning you back harder than most supercars.
The 105 kWh battery (97 kWh usable) keeps you moving for about 300 miles on a charge, at least by EPA estimates. And when you do need to top off, Audi says you can jump from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes if you’re plugged into a 320 kW fast charger. That’s impressive and crucial for anyone using this thing as a real car, not just a weekend toy.
Inside: Audi at Its Cleanest and Smartest
The interior doesn’t scream “race car,” but it feels like a high-end tech lounge with just enough attitude. You’ve got the familiar dual-screen setup — Audi’s virtual cockpit plus a crisp central display. There’s plenty of Alcantara, stitched leather, and just enough contrast trim to break it all up.
There’s a head-up display available, and Audi’s suite of driver assists is as refined as you’d expect at this level — adaptive cruise, lane keeping, the works.
Price and Positioning: Not Just for the Garage Queen
At $167,000 to start, the RS e-tron GT Performance doesn’t exactly undercut its rivals. But for that money, you're getting numbers that rival the Taycan Turbo S and Lucid Air Sapphire — both of which cost more when similarly equipped.
And Audi isn’t pitching this as a limited-run halo car either. It’s fast, yes, but it’s meant to be used. Lived with. Even daily driven, if you’re brave.
The 2025 Audi RS e-tron GT Performance is fast — record-breaking fast for the brand — but it’s also surprisingly grounded. It doesn’t scream about being electric or overly futuristic. It just shows up, delivers the goods, and does it all without breaking a sweat. That’s very Audi.
