Two performance Audi\u2019s \u2013 one from the past and the other that looks to lead the brand into the future \u2013 duel it out to see which will emerge victorious. The Audi e-tron GT<\/a> takes on the Audi RS3 in an epic electric vs. gas drag race showdown. See how it went down in the video below.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Audi officially unveiled the e-tron GT<\/a> in 2021 after teasing the concept several times since 2018, including an appearance in an Avengers movie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Audi e-tron GT rides on the same J1 platform as the Porsche Taycan<\/a>, sharing many of the same powertrain qualities. Although Audi has fine-tuned the vehicle for a different feel and performance, it\u2019s equipped with the same 93.4 kWh battery pack and 800V system. <\/p>\n

With launch control and overboost, the e-tron GT can produce up to 522 hp and 472 lb-ft of torque. The e-tron GT is lower and wider than the Audi A7, and with additional features to optimize aerodynamics, the drag coefficient is a low 0.24.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the RS3 is part of Audi\u2019s highest-performance \u201cRS\u201d vehicle lineup, which is also due for an electric upgrade. <\/p>\n
