The Audi R8, as the only existing supercar model in the family, is obviously no longer suitable for the latest regulations after entering the new energy era, so the change is something that supercar models must consider. With the advantage of early electrification, Audi has also launched its latest high-performance model, the RS e-tron GT.
Since it is the successor of Audi R8, the performance in power naturally cannot be weak, RS e-tron GT adopts the layout of front and rear dual motors, the combined power can reach 475kW (646Ps), torque reached 830N-m, from the performance of parameters alone has far exceeded the R8, transmission structure, RS e-tron GT in the rear axle with a 2-speed gearbox, and the introduction of electronically controlled four-wheel drive system In the Boost mode, the RS e-tron GT can break 100 in 3.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 250km/h. The reason why there is no significant progress compared to the R8 is mainly due to the addition of the battery pack, which makes the RS e-tron GT's overall mass nearly 695km higher.
The 93kWh ternary lithium-ion battery can guarantee a combined range of 495km for the CLTC, and the double-wishbone and multi-link suspension combination with air springs not only provides more comfortable vibration filtering performance on urban roads, but also provides relatively solid support during fast cornering. It still has excellent stability.
For a coupe, in addition to the strong performance of power, the exterior design is also its soul, RS e-tron GT has nearly the same appearance profile as the R8, but the four-door layout makes it look more slender, the front part maintains the low design of a sports car, the center of the front layout has a hexagonal closed center mesh, the surface of the embossed pattern design, the bottom is added to the camera and The hood rises with two tendons that gradually close inward, making the wedge-shaped headlight area on both sides more open, and the rest of the car is covered with black components, except for the center mesh and the two side deflectors.
The blacked-out window line also follows the roof and body line, forming a sharp and pointed shape in the rear pillar area, and the rear row also incorporates privacy glass, taking into account the need for privacy on city roads. The left wing is equipped with a charging port, and the lower part has a deflector slot shape to further improve the airflow performance of the front side wheels.
The rear of the car does not enhance the sense of sportiness by exaggerating the rear wing, but merely combines the side shoulder lines with the roof profile to form a slightly raised ducktail design, with the through-tail lights underneath gradual enlargement on both sides and an arrow-feather array light strip layout inside, with a slightly smoked finish that is also more in line with the positioning of a performance-class sports car, with a larger area of black component cladding added to the underside of the car, and a diffuser trim, and the upward covering method also makes the rear end more tight.
The interior of the RS e-tron GT is designed more like a family car, with a sense of technology that cannot be hidden and solid materials that contradict the impression of a sports car's pursuit of extreme lightness. The center screen is designed with an inline design, and together with the LCD instruments form a new style of digital cockpit.
The 10.1-inch center screen is joined by the family's latest SmartLink car computer, with a black theme style and modular, simple icon display, allowing users to quickly get started, while each touch can get vibration feedback, the texture of the performance in line with Audi's luxury status, the car computer in addition to built-in GPS and entertainment functions, but also with CarPlay cell phone connectivity, standard 4G network and car networking can make The standard 4G network and car network can make the car have more real-time services and application expansion.
The 4989*1964*1393mm body circumference makes the RS e-tron GT look bigger, and the 2900mm wheelbase ensures more rear row riding, the car's seating surface is added with armor-like pattern design, the one-piece seat not only ensures the wrapping feeling of both sides of the wing, the legrest at the front of the seat also supports adjustment to ensure more comfort, the rear seat shape remains The rear seat shape remains the same, with enough longitudinal distance to provide more ample knee performance, and the hollowed-out velvet roof provides as spacious a headroom as possible in the sliding back design.
In conclusion
The appearance of the RS e-tron GT shows that the entire Audi lineup is ready to shift to the new energy era. According to official information, later Audi will also launch more electrified RS models, the future product array is worth looking forward to.
