Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2026 Audi RS e-tron GT
1st generation (2022-present), second model year after the extensive 2025 mid-cycle update
Audi positions the RS e-tron GT as an electric grand-touring sedan that combines supercar-level acceleration with four doors, a luxury cabin, and long-distance usability. Its identity centers on dramatic low-slung design, dual-motor AWD, very fast charging, and a ride intended to work on ordinary roads as well as during demanding driving. The Performance version is Audi's most powerful and quickest-accelerating production model for 2026.
The Performance model remains Audi’s high-powered electric grand tourer, with dual-motor AWD, up to 912 hp using launch control, and a claimed 2.4-second 0–60 mph time. It pairs a 105-kWh battery and fast 800-volt charging with adaptive air suspension, all-wheel steering, a carbon-fiber roof, advanced LED headlights, and a Bang & Olufsen sound system.
