2025 RS e-tron GT performance most powerful, quickest accelerating Audi ever
GT performance: 0 to 60 mph in
2.4 sec. producing 912 horsepower
(November 26, 2024) RESTON, Va. — The e-tron GT family now includes an S e-tron GT model as the entry to the 2025 line up. The new model builds on the dynamic credentials of the 2024 RS e-tron GT and goes a step further to deliver more power and more range. Also new for this year is an even more extreme RS e-tron GT performance derivative.
As the first fully electric "RS performance’" model and the electric halo performance car for Audi, the 2025 RS e-tron GT performance sets all-time milestones for the brand in both power and acceleration. Part of the two-car 2025 e-tron GT electric super sedan lineup in the U.S., the RS e-tron GT performance is joined by the new S e-tron GT model, maintaining excellent performance and all of the design aesthetic that the electric grand tourer is known for.
Through significant upgrades in power, battery capacity, design, and materials, along with a host of chassis upgrades, the e-tron GT model line is capable of delivering a level of performance that rivals supercars.
The design aspects of the 2025 e-tron GT have been revised to help further distinguish the RS model, including unique new front and rear fascias, new wheel designs, the new B-pillar naming strategy, and four new exterior colors. The interior features a new steering wheel integrating satellite control buttons including push-to-pass (boost mode) for the performance model, along with an all-new available glass roof with transparency control.
This unique structure is embedded with a liquid crystal film that permits seamless adjustability of nine individual segments, from slightly tinted to fully frosted using controls in the MMI display.
For model year 2025, the new entry to the e-tron GT family – the S e-tron GT – extends the performance envelope of the previous top-spec 2024 RS e-tron GT. Horsepower for the S e-tron GT grows to 670, compared to 523 for the 2024 e-tron GT and 637 for the 2024 RS e-tron GT. The new S e-tron GT, thanks to a power increase, accelerates to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds with launch control, 0.6 seconds quicker than the previous 2024 e-tron GT.
The new RS e-tron GT performance now holds the distinction of being the quickest accelerating production Audi ever. With launch control activated, its 912-horsepower powertrain propels it from 0-60 mph in just 2.4 seconds.
The increased copper density of the special hairpin winding in the electric motors’ stator maximizes current conduction, while the rotor in the rear motor is more compact and lighter. Overall, Audi has reduced the rear-axle electric motor's weight by 22 pounds. In addition, both electric motors have power reserves for dynamic driving situations. Launch Control can briefly use resources from the battery pack and electric motors for an output up to 912 horsepower. Moreover, the front motor features modified power electronics with a revised pulse inverter, enabling higher discharge currents up to 600 amps — 300 amps more than the Audi S e-tron GT. The rear motor also operates at 600 amps.
Additionally, Audi has increased braking recuperation on e-tron GT models to 400 kW, providing a maximum deceleration value of 0.45 g. Up to this value, the car relies solely on recuperation. Coasting recuperation was increased to 0.06 g and 0.13 g (previously 0.03- and 0.06 g). In this way, Audi has widened the spread between the dynamic one-pedal feel and efficient coasting.
The e-tron GT battery pack has been upgraded to 105 kWh, a 12% increase over the previous 93.4 kWh, while its weight has decreased by 25 pounds. DC fast charging capability has also been increased, from 270 kW to 320 kW, resulting in a 10-80% charge time of about 18 minutes (previously 21.5 minutes) under ideal conditions. Even with the significant power increases, the EPA-estimated driving range of the 2025 S e-tron GT exceeds that of the 2024 e-tron GT, and 2024 RS e-tron GT.
