Audi e-tron GT quattro Is the Thunderbolt That’ll Even Drive You to Work

If you thought all EVs were cut from the same silent, soulless cloth—designed by people who mistook gummy bears for inspiration—then Audi has just built the rebuttal you didn't know you needed. And it might even make a few Tesla diehards feel a flicker of disloyalty.

Enter the new Audi e-tron GT quattro, a machine that looks like it was carved by laser-guided precision straight out of a sci-fi storyboard. That impression isn’t entirely wrong: the exterior was in fact composed with AI assistance. But don’t let the digital design fool you—it’s drop-dead gorgeous. Low-slung, broad-shouldered, dressed in brooding black accents and shaped like it’s perpetually slicing through air.

Under the hood—or rather, where hoods used to matter—you’ll find up to 430 kW of fury. That’s roughly 585 horsepower. Enough to warrant a warning label next to the Launch Control button: “Are you absolutely sure?” 0 to 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds? Not under sterile lab conditions, but right there in the supermarket parking lot—fast enough to send your glasses flying.

Thanks to a robust 105 kWh battery (net 97 kWh), the GT quattro boasts a range of up to 622 kilometers. And when you do need a top-up, 10 minutes of charging gets you back nearly 285 kilometers. Think of it as automotive ramen: fast, hot, satisfying.

Inside, it’s every bit the premium predator. For the starting price of €108,900, you get everything from sport seats that cradle you in corners to a trunk that swallows golf bags—and potentially a vocally overenthusiastic child. There’s even a 77-litre frunk, perfect for dramatically transporting a pair of MacBooks. Rear passengers? They’re not forgotten: the battery pack has been carved out beneath their feet for extra legroom.

This new GT also shaves 30 kilos off its S-model sibling. Doesn’t sound like much—until you realize it sharpens the handling, trims the reaction time, and balances the weight like a katana-wielding ballerina.

And yes, you can order one now—assuming your credit card doesn’t break into cold sweats just seeing the price tag.
