In the 1990s, Audi made an important decision: to participate in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. After 18 Le Mans races, Audi has won 13 championships and has become one of the most successful brands in the history of the Le Mans 24 Hours endurance race.
"
The R8 perfectly inherits Audi's DNA in the field of racing. It is not only a frequent podium player in major mainstream events, but also the royal car of the rich and famous. Its elegant figure and unique V10 engine can make people instantly dream back to the time when they were competing with cows and horses. The glorious period of coexistence.
However, as the times roll forward, the heroes of the past will inevitably grow old. Entering the new energy cycle, under the Volkswagen Group's new electrification strategy, two luxury brands, Audi and Porsche, have launched their own electrified flagship series: e-tron GT and Taycan.
These two pioneer models of the Volkswagen Group in the field of electrification are both derived from the top performance platform J1. Their characteristic is that with the support of the 800V platform, they have a rated voltage of 723V. You must know that most of the new forces claiming to be 800V stay at the 630V level. Therefore, whether it is e-tron GT or Taycan, it has strong torque output when accelerating from 0-100km/h to ensure acceleration in the later stages, living up to the aura of the "ultimate driving machine".
Although the strength is comparable, in terms of car styling, unlike the Taycan's roughness, the e-tron GT is labeled with a low-key connotation of "quiet luxury style", which clearly outlines the user portrait of the newly wealthy "pursuing beauty and power" .
of unique value
Quiet luxury style
Looking at today's auto market, in the million-level pure electric luxury market segment, e-tron GT and Taycan are naturally two unavoidable choices. Compared with Porsche's radical style, e-tron GT cleverly adjusts the product tonality. The positioning is in the "GT" position.
From the moment you step in front of the e-tron GT, a special emotional connection begins. This leisurely and luxurious pure electric GT sports car with unique characteristics of the new era has become a new way for the newly wealthy to show off their travel taste.
Beneath the gorgeous appearance lies meticulous craftsmanship. Precisely assembled by traditional craftsmen at the Neckarsulm Berlingerhof factory, the body of the e-tron GT exudes not only heritage, but also honor. You know, these top craftsmen are all masters of the R8 production line.
After the manual assembly is completed, the AI system of each e-tron GT is waiting for a comprehensive inspection of nearly 350 measurement points. This improves the precision of the entire vehicle assembly process by 33%, and the tolerance accuracy reaches ±0.20mm. This is What concept? Only equivalent to the thickness of two pieces of A4 paper.
Therefore, even if the granularity of details is maximized, when viewed or touched from any angle, the e-tron GT can present a neatness and sophistication unmatched by models of the same class. In other words, Audi hopes that every owner of the e-tron GT will own not just an industrial product, but a work of art.
This is the unique value provided by the "quiet luxury style". The e-tron GT is not only worth a million dollars when accelerating at full speed, but even in a stationary state, it is so beautiful that you feel it is worth your money.
Visible to the naked eye

How to form a clear distinction from the Taycan, which has the same origin, is something that e-tronGT has considered clearly as early as the positioning stage, and "quattro gene visualization" is the key to it.
The indispensable aesthetic factor of this "from the future" electric sports car is the layout of the light. The light group composed of LED and laser shines brightly, confirming Audi's well-deserved "light factory" strength.
Of course, as a special enough GT sports car, the beauty of e-tron GT will not be limited to traditional aesthetics, but will be reflected in a more magical dimension: air!
After more than 150 hours of wind tunnel verification and 9 million hours of computational fluid dynamics simulation, the e-tron GT body shape was finally created that can take into account both design and function, achieving a resonance between imagination and inspiration.
During this period, in order to obtain a perfect tail muscle line, the engineering team spent three months getting inspiration from the airflow in the wind tunnel before achieving satisfactory results.
Becoming the leader among the new generation of pure electric sports cars, active aerodynamic technology has made a major contribution to the shape of e-tron GT. The design team invested a lot of research and development energy in the last 20% of the aerodynamic part of the e-tron GT, and finally determined the final plan through millimeter-level precision testing in the wind tunnel. In order to pursue the perfect state of aesthetics and wind resistance, they even re-invented the air The dynamic wheels ultimately increased the overall range of the e-tron GT by nearly 30 kilometers.
quattro's spirit of demanding perfection is also reflected in many aspects. For example, in order to meet the low center of gravity layout and the comfort of rear seats, the designer also specially created a grooved and special-shaped battery pack for the e-tron GT, achieving a 50:50 front and rear axle ratio. It has the same extremely low center of gravity as the R8.
It's GT,
It’s a sports car
The background of the e-tron GT has always been Taiwan's unique sports car. Thanks to the J1 platform's empowerment of extreme acceleration, the performance advantages of the Porsche Taycan are also reflected in the e-tron GT, in the power of dual motors. The lower e-tron GT can explode with super power of 390kW and 630Nm. Together with the two-speed transmission with two reduction ratios of 15:1 and 8:1, it further helps the e-tron GT increase the transmission efficiency by 10%, thus enabling Achieve the same 4-second 0-100km/h acceleration performance as the Taycan 4S.
Of course, the e-tron GT, which can carry five people, also perfectly combines the performance of a sports car with the travel characteristics of a GT. The Audi sport department has optimized the chassis, quattro electric four-wheel drive, and advanced three-chamber air suspension in multiple dimensions. , e-tron GT has super adaptability to different scenarios such as sports and daily life.
It is worth mentioning that even in the electric age, quattro still masters leading power distribution technology. The torque between the front and rear axles can be completely steplessly controlled. The variable torque distribution ratio is up to 100%. The power response and torque switching time are only 30ms. It is 5 times faster than mechanical four-wheel drive.
On this basis, the e-tron GT also has richer configurations and more affordable pricing. For the newly wealthy, this electric GT with the label of "quiet luxury" will be more attractive.
Compared with the Taycan 4S, the biggest advantage of the e-tron GT is that it has better battery life, more efficient charging performance, and a more advantageous price.
The e-tron GT, with an official price of 999,800 yuan, is equipped with a 93.4kWh large-capacity battery, which can achieve a CLTC endurance of 480 kilometers, and under ideal conditions, it can be recharged in just 30 minutes.
In this series of parameters that are extremely important for electric vehicles, the e-tron GT completely beats the Taycan. Taking the Taycan 4S priced at 1.168 million yuan as an example, its battery capacity is 79.2kWh and its CLTC pure electric range is 461 kilometers. , and the recharge time in fast charging mode also takes 1.55 hours. If the gap between battery and battery life is not particularly obvious, I believe that 3 times the charging efficiency is for the wealthy class where time is money, whoever has the advantage will compete. The verdict was made.
I would like to ask, under the influence of this "quiet luxury style" and excellent taste, how can the e-tron GT, which is extremely electric, not become the first choice for million-level electric cars?
