2025 Audi RS e-tron GT Performance

Meanwhile, the exterior receives trim-specific front and rear bumpers, updated wheel designs, and other detail changes to distinguish it from the S e-tron GT, the model’s introductory trim. Inside, a redesigned steering wheel provides quick access to performance functions, including the push-to-pass boost feature. A customizable sound experience allows drivers to tailor the RS e-tron GT Performance’s electric motor audio from quiet operation to a more pronounced, throaty tone. It all adds to an all-electric grand tourer engineered for high performance while maintaining Audi’s reputation for refinement and comfort.

This overview highlights the 2025 Audi RS e-tron GT Performance. Please see our separate page on the 2025 Audi S e-tron GT for more information on that variant.

Trim and Powertrain

Audi presents the 2025 RS e-tron GT Performance in one well-equipped trim. It puts out 818 horsepower, but that output will jump to 912 with the use of launch control or the push-to-pass feature (these modes add 94 horsepower for up to 10 seconds at speeds above 19 mph). Dual electric motors work with Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive and a two-speed rear transmission. A 105-kWh battery, with less weight and greater capacity than before, supports DC fast charging at up to 320 kW for a 10% to 80% charge in about 18 minutes under ideal conditions. The EPA-estimated driving range is 278 miles.

Standard Amenities

The RS e-tron GT Performance’s key performance equipment includes all-wheel steering, an adaptive air suspension, a carbon-fiber roof panel, carbide brakes with black calipers, and a 12.3-inch configurable digital instrument display (the Audi Virtual Cockpit). Its unique front and rear bumpers coordinate with 20-inch aero-design wheels, Matrix-design LED headlights with Audi laser light, and full LED exterior lighting.

The interior highlights are Nappa leather upholstery with honeycomb stitching, heated and ventilated front seats with massage, heated rear outboard seats, and stainless-steel pedals. A Dinamica headliner, tri-zone automatic climate control, and dual-pane acoustic glass for the front side windows enhance comfort and quietness. The vehicle’s convenience touches include proximity keyless entry, a power tilt-and-telescopic steering column, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.

In addition to several design upgrade packages, the Audi RS e-tron GT Performance is eligible for an optional fixed glass-panel roof with variable light control and 21-inch wheels. The available Dynamic Plus Package adds an active damper control suspension, ceramic brakes with anthracite calipers, and high-performance summer tires.

Advanced Driver Aids and Safety Technology

For safety tech, the RS e-tron GT Performance comes with forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control with lane guidance, and a surround-view monitor. It’s also equipped with a set of airbags, anti-lock brakes, stability control, traction control, and a backup monitor.

Infotainment and Connectivity

Infotainment management happens through a 10.1-inch MMI touchscreen. The platform has wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a premium sound system by Bang & Olufsen. A trial subscription to Audi connected services enables navigation, emergency assistance, remote vehicle functionality, and Wi-Fi hotspot capability and can be renewed if the buyer desires.
