New Audi E-tron GT Concept Review
The e-tron GT will be Audi鈥檚 third fully electric model when it launches in 18 months time, following on from the e-tron SUV that鈥檚 already in dealers and the forthcoming e-tron Sportback, which is a more coupe-inspired SUV. It will be Audi鈥檚 new 鈥榟ero鈥?car, according to its design team. That means that matching the striking look is some serious performance and an equally lofty price tag - don鈥檛 expect any change from 拢100,000 when it goes on sale. The illuminated e-tron badging will make way because that鈥檚 deemed as advertising by the law, and the touch sensitive doors will make way for traditional door handles on the production car purely for safety reasons. Swinging open the frameless door reveals a cabin that is almost identical to what is being promised from the showroom model. You sit low in fantastic textured seats peering over the long bonnet that gently drops away towards the road, while the flat top and bottom steering wheel is trimmed in soft Alcantara.
The cabin is predominantly made up of digital screens and previews a new look for Audi鈥檚 future cabins; the gear selector has morphed into a domino-shaped slider that sits neatly integrated on the centre console. It shares its platform, called J1, with Porsche鈥檚 upcoming electric vehicle, the Taycan. Both are similar sized, elegant saloons, but the Audi will be aimed at a very different customer. 鈥淥ur customers don鈥檛 like what Porsche does and Porsche customers don鈥檛 like what we do,鈥?Andreas Mindt, explains to us. The numbers certainly back up that claim: 582bhp, 0-62mph in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 149mph. A huge 96kWh battery that drives an electric motor on each axle delivering four-wheel drive powers the e-tron GT. Having said that it presents us with an ideal setting to test the e-tron鈥檚 promise of greater comfort and refinement. The steering is effortlessly smooth with a nice heft to its weight; the throttle response is consistent and, when the traffic opens up, delivers thumping bursts of acceleration. Audi engineers are still working on refining the overall powertrain to deliver smoother and a more relaxing drive. The chassis is still being worked on, which is a relief, because the ride quality, like all precious one-off concept cars is pretty bad. It鈥檚 about as comfortable as doing a marathon in a pair of ski boots two sizes too small. Any sort of verdict on handling, given our location, will have to wait until the production model has rolled out of the factory, too.
