Audi e-tron GT Concept

Audi’s new £88k entry-level e-tron GT ‘quattro’ will pack up to 576bhp*

*When launch control’s engaged. Otherwise it’s 496bhp. Still enough, we reckon

Audi’s serving up a new entry-level model for the e-tron GT family of sports saloons, with the standard ‘quattro’ now starting from £88,555. Interestingly, that's £355 dearer than a completely boggo Porsche Taycan which starts at £88,200.

The e-tron does have a big statistical advantage though: its dual-motor powertrain produces a minimum of 496bhp (already 67 more than the Taycan), and a peak of 576bhp with launch control engaged. With its electrons at full pelt, it’ll get to 62mph in four secs flat - eight-tenths quicker than the car it shares platforms with.

An improved 105kWh battery yields up to 384 miles of range - that’s 40ish short of the Taycan - and 320kW charge speeds mean 177 miles can be topped up in just 10 minutes. Stick around for another eight, and you’ll regain all of 80 per cent.

Other bits worth mentioning include adaptive air suspension as standard, with Audi’s quattro drivetrain stuffed with torque vectoring capabilities between both axles. This new entry-level also weighs 30kg less than the next-up ‘S’ version, as Audi has rightfully pointed out. It's still some 2.3-tonnes, mind.
