The base-spec Audi E-Tron GT Quattro gets the same battery pack as its more powerful siblings.
Despite its entry-level status, it still carries a six-figure price tag.
Thanks to its lower weight, it has the longest driving range of all the E-Tron GT versions.

This is the new Audi E-Tron GT Quattro, the cheapest version of the four-door electric grand tourer. As you might imagine, a smaller price tag inevitably leads to some drawbacks, but in the case of the new base-spec E-Tron GT, things are not as bad as they might seem.

With a starting price of $121,000 (€108,900) in Europe, the newly-introduced version gets motivation from a dual-motor powertrain with a maximum output of 577 horsepower (430 kilowatts) with launch control, enough for a zero to 62 miles per hour (zero to 100 kilometers per hour) sprint in 4.0 seconds.

By comparison, the S E-Tron GT gets a maximum output of 670 hp (435 kW), while the RS E-Tron GT ups that figure to 844 hp (630 kW). The top-spec RS E-Tron GT Performance goes even further, with a maximum output of 912 hp (680 kW), enough to get to 62 mph from a standstill in 2.5 seconds. That said, it also starts at $178,500 (€160,500), so you get what you pay for.

It’s worth mentioning that while the more expensive versions of the electric GT offer a higher maximum output, all of the trims have the same 218 hp (163 kW) continuous output. Additionally, all models have a limited top speed of 152 mph (250 kph).
