Audi updates high-performance RS e-tron GT and RS5 models

Audi has introduced significant updates to its high-performance electric and combustion lineups. The modernized RS e-tron GT performance features a substantial power increase, reaching up to 925 horsepower. This version can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, making it the most powerful production Audi in the company's history.

Technical improvements to the RS e-tron GT include an expanded 105 kWh battery (97 kWh usable) and increased charging capabilities of up to 320 kW, allowing a 10% to 80% charge in approximately 18 minutes. The vehicle also features redesigned bumpers, an aggressive radiator grille, and an updated suspension system with active air springs to improve handling and comfort.

In the combustion segment, the new Audi RS5 has seen unprecedented market demand. Following its introduction, orders in the European market have nearly doubled manufacturer expectations, resulting in the entire 2026 production quota being sold out. The new RS5 utilizes the Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) architecture and features a 2.9-liter six-cylinder twin-turbo engine paired with an electric motor, producing a combined 639 horsepower and 825 Nm of torque.
