Pros & Cons

What we love
✓The 2026 RS e-tron GT performance at $170,500 is the most powerful production Audi ever built, producing 912 hp with boost and launch control — 242 hp more than the S e-tron GT — and accelerating to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds. The carbon-fiber roof panel, wider body fenders, active rear spoiler (auto-deploying at speed), Audi Laserlight headlights, carbon-fiber interior trim, RS-specific sport seats in Nappa leather, and AR head-up display are all standard. Tungsten-carbide-coated front brakes (~409mm) are standard; carbon-ceramic units (~419mm front) are available as an option for track use
✓The RS e-tron GT performance builds its 912 hp on the same 105 kWh / 97 kWh battery and 320 kW charging architecture as the S — 10–80% in approximately 18 minutes regardless of power output. The unique 2-speed rear gearbox (standard across the e-tron GT range) ensures maximum torque off the line while the overdrive ratio preserves efficiency at cruising speed, giving the RS performance 278 miles of EPA range despite its astronomical power output. RS-specific driving modes include a track-optimized "dynamic plus" setting not available on the S
Considerations
✕Panoramic glass roof is optional — carbon-fiber roof is standard (buyers who want the glass roof pay extra)
✕Ventilated and massage front seats optional even on RS performance — not standard at any price in the e-tron GT lineup
✕278 mi EPA range (22 mi less than S e-tron GT's 300 mi) — expected at this power level; 320 kW charging partially mitigates range difference
✕21" wheels are an additional option — 20" summer tires are standard
✕Carbon-ceramic brakes (~419mm) optional for track use at additional cost — tungsten-carbide steel already standard
✕At $170,500 excl. destination, with options this car easily approaches $200,000+ — Porsche Taycan Turbo S territory
