While the hardware is the same as on the Taycan, engineers say the Audi is differentiated by its more comfort-oriented tuning, emphasising its GT character.
UK prices have yet to be announced, but in Germany they are set at €126,000 (roughly £106,440) for the S E-tron GT, €147,500 (£124,600) for the RS E-tron GT and €160,500 (£135,585) for the RS E-tron GT Performance. In each case, this represents a rise, though standard equipment has been improved as well.
Opinion: Audi’s GT is back on the map

The E-Tron GT has long seemed an unsung hero in the sporting EV sphere. While its Taycan cousin has proved near-unfathomably popular – and won plaudits for its bona fide dynamic prowess – the Audi seems to have drifted into relative obscurity.
Criminal, really, considering its competitive tech specs, and its ability to shrink the most arduous and uncomfortable of journeys, albeit with the caveat that it has never truly had the legs to be a proper grand tourer.
Now, though, that would appear to have changed, with these updates strengthening the Audi’s positioning as a zeroemission continent crusher. More miles per charge and less time topping up at the other end: these are crucial improvements that could turn the head of even the most ardent diesel apologist.
