Introducing The New Audi RS e-tron GT
As a fully electric coupe, the new Audi RS e-tron GT gives you dramatic looks, serious pace, and genuine day-to-day usability in one low, wide package. It feels special the moment you see it, but it also makes sense for buyers who want sharp performance without giving up comfort, charging speed, or premium equipment.
Audi also improves everyday efficiency with high-capacity regeneration of up to 400 kW. In simple terms, the car can recover a large amount of energy when you slow down, which helps put charge back into the battery in traffic, on downhill roads, and when you lift off on the approach to roundabouts or junctions. That gives you a more useful day-to-day range and less wasted energy.
If you want to experience what all that feels like from behind the wheel, you can book a test drive with Vertu and see how the RS e-tron GT fits into your routine.

New Audi RS e-tron GT Safety Features
- Front collision warning and automatic emergency braking help the car react if traffic ahead slows suddenly.
- Lane departure warning helps reduce the risk of drifting out of lane on longer drives.
- Adaptive cruise control helps maintain a steady gap to the car in front, which makes motorway travel less tiring.
- Parking sensors help protect the wheels and bodywork when manoeuvring in tight bays.
- A reversing camera or surround-view camera setup makes it easier to place the car accurately in multi-storey car parks or narrow home driveways.
- Matrix LED lighting improves visibility at night while helping to avoid dazzling other road users.
- Traffic sign recognition helps keep speed limits clear in unfamiliar areas.
- A strong body structure and a full airbag set help protect occupants if an impact does happen.
New Audi RS e-tron GT Practicality And Space
- The rear boot offers up to around 405 litres of space, which is enough for weekend luggage, a few cabin cases, or the weekly shop.
- A front storage compartment gives you a separate place for charging cables, so the main boot stays cleaner and easier to use.
- The hatchback-style tailgate opening makes loading easier than in many traditional saloons, especially with bulkier bags.
- The cabin gives front passengers plenty of room, with a low driving position that still feels comfortable on longer journeys.
- The rear seats work well for everyday use or shorter family trips, and the four-door layout makes getting in and out simpler than in a two-door performance car.
- Storage around the cabin helps keep phones, wallets, and smaller items tucked away neatly.
- The car’s low centre of gravity also helps it feel settled and controlled without making it awkward to use every day.
New Audi RS e-tron GT Tech And Convenience
- The RS e-tron GT Performance’s 748 PS standard output, rising to 925 PS with launch control, is not just a headline figure. It means fast, clean acceleration when you join motorways, overtake slower traffic, or want instant response without waiting for a gearbox to catch up.
- The 800-volt system supports DC charging at up to 320 kW, allowing a 10 to 80 per cent charge in about 18 minutes in ideal conditions. In everyday use, that can turn a longer coffee stop into a useful range top-up rather than a long wait.
- Regeneration of up to 400 kW helps the car recover more energy than many rivals when you slow down. On a typical day, that can help stretch range in traffic, reduce reliance on the brake pedal, and make stop-start driving more efficient.
- The BMW Curved Display-style twin-screen layout seen in some rivals is not needed here because Audi gives the RS e-tron GT a clean, premium digital setup that is easy to read and quick to use.
- The digital driver display keeps speed, navigation, and key vehicle data directly in front of you, so you spend less time glancing across the cabin.
- Smartphone integration helps you use familiar music, calls, and mapping apps without learning a whole new system.
- Pre-conditioning lets you warm or cool the cabin before you leave, which is especially useful on cold mornings or hot afternoons.
- A heat pump helps improve efficiency in colder weather by using energy more carefully than a basic electric heater setup.
- Advanced lighting, camera systems, and parking aids make a wide, low performance car less stressful to live with in everyday UK driving.

New Audi RS e-tron GT FAQs
What warranty cover should I expect on a new Audi RS e-tron GT?
Audi typically provides a three-year or 60,000-mile vehicle warranty on a new RS e-tron GT, whichever comes first. The high-voltage battery usually carries separate cover for eight years or 100,000 miles, with capacity protection down to a stated minimum level. For most buyers, that means the main car is covered for the early years of ownership, while the battery receives longer-term reassurance.
Which new Audi RS e-tron GT trim should I choose?
If you want the standard RS e-tron GT experience with a darker look, Carbon Black is a sensible place to start. Carbon Vorsprung suits buyers who want more luxury and convenience equipment. If outright pace is the priority, the Performance models are the ones to look at, while Performance Carbon Vorsprung makes the strongest case for buyers who want maximum power and a fuller premium specification in the same car.
Is the new Audi RS e-tron GT easy to park in tight spaces?
For a wide performance EV, yes, it is easier to place than you might expect when it has the right camera and parking aid setup. Parking sensors, camera systems, and clear digital displays help when you are backing into tighter bays or navigating multi-storey ramps. The low seating position takes a little familiarisation at first, but the technology does a lot of the work once you are used to the car’s shape.
Should I choose a fixed or flexible servicing plan for a new Audi RS e-tron GT?
If you want predictable costs and you know roughly how you will use the car each year, a fixed plan often makes good sense. If your mileage changes a lot or you want more room to adapt as your routine changes, a flexible option can be more suitable. Either way, it is worth comparing what is included and discussing it alongside Audi servicing so you choose a plan that matches how you actually drive.
Are the tech features of the new Audi RS e-tron GT easy to use?
Yes, they are generally easy to get used to. The main displays are clear, the menus are logically laid out, and the digital driver screen keeps your most important information in front of you. Once your phone is connected and your settings are saved, everyday tasks like navigation, media, and climate control feel quick and straightforward.
What insurance group is the new Audi RS e-tron GT in?
Because this is a high-value, very powerful performance EV, insurance usually sits in the highest bands. Carbon Black and Carbon Vorsprung versions are typically at the upper end of the scale, and RS e-tron GT Performance models are also commonly in the top groups because of their power, repair costs, and list price. The exact figure can vary by trim, insurer, and registration, so it is always worth getting a quote on the specific car you are considering.
