Yahoo Autos 2025 Audi E-Tron GT is topped by new 912-hp RS Performance trim
As promised in a tease two months ago, the refreshed Audi E-Tron GT is out for the European market. And as expected, the upgrades track with those seen on the refreshed Porsche Taycan that sits on the same J1 platform as the Audi. Every E-Tron GT gets a battery pack that's grown from a usable 84 kWh to 97 kWh (105 kWh gross). An improved chemistry along with mechanical improvements to pack features like the cooling plates between cells means this greater capacity takes up less space and weighs about 20 pounds less than the previous pack. We'll have to wait on changes to EPA-rated range, Audi only saying max range is up to 375 miles on the WLTP cycle.
DC fast charging rate is up as well, from 270 kW to 320 kW. More importantly, the battery can achieve its max rate in a wider temperature window, down to 59 degrees. At the max rate, the pack goes from 10% to 80% in 18 minutes, and 10 minutes can restore 174 miles of range.
The standard steel suspension has been refined with new two-chamber, dual-valve dampers with a wider operational range between comfort and control. The fully active anti-roll suspension the Porsche Taycan showed off in a bouncy video is an option. And the optional four-wheel steering fits an even more direct rack for the front axle.
