The Performance takes the crown as Audi’s most powerful car ever, just as the Taycan Turbo GT did for Porsche. And ‘Performance’ is an apt name - it’ll smash the 0-62mph sprint in just 2.5 seconds, going on to a top speed of 155mph. The ‘boggo’ RS-Etron GT isn't that far behind, doing the deed in 2.8 seconds and topping out at the same point.
Really, you don’t need all that power, so if you have a modicum of common sense, you’ll save yourself many thousands of pounds by sticking with the new entry point of the range, the S E-Tron GT, which is hardly a slouch with 671bhp to its name. That’s actually a smidge more than the old RS, and it makes a 0-62mph time of 3.4 seconds possible, plus a top speed of 153mph. Plenty fast.You get the same permanent-magnet synchronous motor front motor regardless of which E-Tron GT you pick, with the RS models getting a more one at the back, in theory making for a bit more oversteer. Audi has managed to cut 10kg from each of the motors, but that’s a drop in the ocean when we’re talking about a car that weighs somewhere around 2.4 tonnes.
