Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 105.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 97.0 kWh, with a 8.0 kWh buffer (7.6%) for battery protection. The battery operates at a nominal voltage of 729 V, supporting high-power DC charging.
The lithium-ion battery uses NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) chemistry.
Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the maximum rated range is 598 km (372 miles). Depending on the configuration and options such as wheel size, the rated range can be as low as 527 km (328 miles). Larger wheels generally increase energy consumption and reduce range.
WLTP energy consumption is 16.2 kWh/100 km for the base configuration and 18.4 kWh/100 km for the highest-consumption configuration.
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 320 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 47 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 16 minutes at an average power of 260 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 1–65%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 209 kW over a session lasting about 18 minutes and 48 seconds.
The Audi RS e-tron GT performance supports high-power DC charging.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 22.6 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 8 hours and 57 minutes, needing two charging stops from 1% to 68%, totaling 37 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 11 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 8 hours and 49 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
An optional 22 kW onboard charger reduces the full charge time to approximately 4 hours and 24 minutes.
Charge Port
The charge port is conveniently located on the right front side, facilitating easy access at charging stations where you park parallel to the charger.
Connector types vary by market: this model uses CCS Combo 1 in North America and CCS Combo 2 in Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.
Additionally, a second port on the left front side offers greater flexibility for AC charging.
The connector types vary between different markets. This model uses J1772 for North America and TYPE2 for Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.
Drivetrain
The Audi RS e-tron GT performance features an all-wheel drive system powered by two motors, one on each axle.
The motors used are Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors.
Suspension
The Audi RS e-tron GT performance features a double wishbone front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension, both with electronically controlled dampers and air springs.
The suspension is fully adaptive on the front and rear axle, so height and damping can be adjusted manually and automatically.
The minimum ground clearance is 125 mm, and the maximum is 165 mm.
The Audi RS e-tron GT performance offers an optional suspension with double wishbone front, multilink rear, and air springs at both ends with adjustable ride height. Active hydraulic dampers control each wheel independently to counter body roll, pitch, and dive in real time.
The suspension is fully adaptive on the front and rear axle, so height and damping can be adjusted manually and automatically.
The minimum ground clearance is 125 mm, and the maximum is 165 mm.
The Active Suspension keeps the car's body nearly horizontal during braking, steering, and acceleration.
Normally, cars lean outward in corners. However, the active cornering dynamics can counteract this roll, or even overcompensate, making the car lean into bends like a motorcycle.
The Easy Entry function raises the car's body automatically when a door is opened, facilitating easier entry and exit. Once the door closes, the body returns to its previous level.
Steering
Progressive steering is standard on the Audi RS e-tron GT performance. It adjusts the steering ratio according to vehicle speed.
In addition, rear-wheel steering is optional, reducing the turning circle at low speeds.
Drive Modes
The Audi RS e-tron GT performance lets the user select different drive modes that affect the car's handling.
The driver can choose between 6 modes:
- Comfort: Balanced steering, normal ride height, balanced throttle, and comfort-oriented suspension damping.
- Dynamic: Dynamic steering, low ride height, and dynamic throttle and suspension damping.
- Effiency: Balanced steering, low ride height, and comfort suspension damping.
- RS1: Dynamic steering, low ride height, and dynamic throttle and suspension damping.
- RS2: Dynamic steering, low ride height, and dynamic throttle and suspension damping.
- Performance: Dynamic steering, low ride height, and dynamic throttle and suspension damping.
Brakes
You can choose between different brake systems.
The Audi RS e-tron GT performance is equipped with cast-iron disc brakes on both the front and rear.
The front discs measure 410 mm, while the rear discs are 365 mm.
Brake option one uses ceramic discs.
The front discs measure 420 mm, while the rear discs are 410 mm.
Regenerative Braking
The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.
Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.
Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving.
Drivers can also adjust the regenerative braking strength when lifting off the accelerator, choosing between three levels.
The maximum regenerative braking power is 265 kW.
Exterior

Narrower wheels reduce energy consumption and can increase range, while wider wheels can improve traction and handling.
The car has four regular doors and a boot lid for the trunk.
There are three different roof options to select from.
A large panoramic glass roof extending from front to rear is standard. Tinted glass reduces solar heat gain.
Alternatively, you can opt for a panoramic roof with electrochromic glass that can be adjusted to control sunlight.
Privacy glass from the B-pillar rearward is optional. It reduces glare and solar heat.
As an option, double-glazed side windows are available to reduce cabin noise.
