That was sketchy! Thankfully I saw the RV coming down the road a few corners ahead and backed way off to well under the speed limit. If not, that probably wouldn’t have ended well. Thankfully that e-tron is so agile!
Seriously... After THAT RV incident... I couldn't concentrate on your report. I forgot WHAT you were driving. It was ALL about that tremendous SAVE! Epic performance on YOUR car. Perhaps... the car helped a little!
Glad you all were safe too! That was my favorite drive of the weekend too! I also love the look!
After you swerved away from the RV, you think that it went off the cliff.
Great call on slowing down!
It's a lot of fun to drive an agile car, but these rare, unexpected, potential moose test situations are why I usually prefer to spend more money for less practical, driver's cars.
Glad to see you guys are alright looked scary when that motohome came out of that turn on the wrong side almost hitting .
Woah that RV at the beginning! Something out of GTA or something lol.
Kyle thank you so much for the invite to the EV summit! That really changed my perception on EVs and driving this car was just an incredible experience. I’ve never felt a car put power down so well in the corner mask it’s speed so well. That would be a wonderful daily driver in LA.
Tijmen looked pretty nervous for the majority of that ride LOL. what a wonderful car.
Yeah I noticed it too
Yeah. I think he was trying to pretend like he wasn't a little nervous. Lol.
I think you do have g-force vision in the way your passengers are thrown right & left. BTW they looked terrified most of the time, not just the RV part.
21:25 RV near-miss, head on collision. Keep watching for the moose test 45-sec later.
I was stressed out the whole time he was driving... wondering when that RV would pop up.
Awesome review, thanks.
Kyle's like the only person that would giggle through almost getting in a head-on collision with an RV 😆
I love how the near miss with the runaway RV segways instantly into an actual swerve and on throttle test 😂
Waiting for the depreciation hammer to hit this and bring it down under $100K in 3 years. The best part is you don't have regular engine maintenance and it's cheaper to fuel, you only have to make sure the brakes and fluids are good but even then that's not super often. Enthusiast EVs are going to he fantastic!
Front passenger tried to hang on for dear life. 😳😏😲
Yeah. While there was no meter for G-forces, you can kind of read those from his face :)
Glad Kyle’s driving skills came in handy! Great video as always.
Hero-level driving! Reflexes for DAYS! Well done, Kyle.
insane camper driver!!!
I would have peed my pants
They warn about them for reason in Top gear.
Cool car - EV´s are going enthusiast - great! Tijmen and Jordan look to be vey nervous while Kyle is giving it the beans!
I still would prefer the Taycan Cross Tourismo GTS thank you :)
Normal passenger reaction when Kyle is giving anything the beans. It used to be distracting for me. Now it's just an added feature.!!!
Same here…. GTS All The Way…
I get nervous when others are driving. I would go crazy riding with Kyle.
Love the car and the colour 😉Give me a call next time you come to Norway, you did not drive the most epic roads last time…
Wow was that Cousin Eddies RV from National Lampoon? LOL loved this video and wish I were driving that car myself that's a sweet ride!
"Is this even a review or is this just us having a good drive on a back road?" That *IS* the review I came for. Does it drift, does it understeer (push), is it adjustable on the limits, does the TC cut in overly aggressively and spoil the fun, can the TC be turned off completely, etc. Keep it up! And keep up the defensive driving.
The passenger in the front seat looks tense, have to relax, lol
I could watch the kinesics of the kid in the front passenger's seat all day.
21:40 is awesome!
I always wonder why the passengers are thrown around more heavily than the driver. Is it because the driver causes/anticipates the G-force changes and the passengers are just exposed to them? Or maybe the driver can hold onto the steering wheel?
I think it's both. The same applies with the passengers' heads when launch control is engaged. They are not expecting a throwback but the driver is.
I think this is exaggerated with people who are less experienced drivers and/or not paying attention. I am 43, and I’ve driven around 30,000 miles per year since my early to mid 20’s. I anticipate the driver inputs, but I also have tracked cars, spent time in go karts, and my wife and I are roller coaster enthusiasts. In my experience though, the steering wheel and even the dead pedal does give the driver a lot more support. The only experience I had where I felt like I was jostled more in a vehicle was the only accident 2 1/2 years ago that I was involved in. Someone rear ended me when I became the first car in the line of stoped cars on the highway. Since I had never been in an accident before, even though I have been in vehicles on tracks in spins, etc., I didn’t quite anticipate the force (even though I watched through my rear view mirror and tried to move over, but there was just not enough room), and my head banged the headrest. My neck was sore for days.
Kyle, next time you are in LA, try to plan your drives on Friday mornings and you will get the fast cars driving up the Crest that you desire. Good Vibes Breakfast Club meets around 9am at Newcombs Ranch every Friday morning and some of the best cars in Los Angeles are there 👍
Not gonna lie that's super lucky that you were taking it slow around that corner with the RV. Otherwise we may not have seen this video. That was scary!
So sweet! Does anyone else wonder about that grill though? It looks plasticy and overly complicated. Kind of confusing because the rest of the car is drop dead sexy.
Poor guys holding on for dear life while Kyle is just having a fun time time
That was the most terrifying car review I've ever seen lol. I'm sure the guy in the front passenger seat agrees.
Would this be a better comparison to a lucid air lr and the latest taycan gts?
Both of those are more luxurious ev cruisers with a lot of power. More in the vein of this car.
This is a direct competitor to the Taycan turbo.
The Etron GT is the competitor to the Taycan 4s.
Porsche would never allow a lower priced in house competitor to its top of the line Taycan Turbo S
Mark Foster in the back seat 😁
A Connor TV exclusive: "Thelma and Louise are back - and this time they mean business"
That there Clark, was an RV lol
How do you laugh when almost dying??? 🤣🤣🤣
As the one in control the adrenaline actually calms you down.
Re battery temperature - Bjorn Nyland in Norway has an app plus a diagnostic plugin that gives all sorts of data including yo to three battery temperatures, Check his videos for details. An Avant of version the Audi would be totally sick.
Passenger to himself around every corner, while smiling: "Oh dayummm, Oh dayummm....not today....cliff edge....get back in the middle...F ME....Sh*t oh sh*t....Did I put down a Beneficiary....hmmmm, nice seats....Winnebago!
Don't blink, I must not blink or I will be airborne..I think I can, I think I can"
Minor thing but I like where they put the charge port. They need to tell their VW colleagues about this innovation
PPE will have the same setup, but at the rear, not the front.
At least one of the three had fun… 😂
I like the AUDI styling on this version of the platform as the Wagon just hurt my eyes 👀
they're terrified xD
Was just there in the Ipace, best roads
The RS is only .1sec slower than the taycan Turbo and .1sec slower than a turbo S when not in overboost.
Which is more engaging, this or a Model 3 Performance?
Definitely this.
Did I miss the acceleration figures the Audi can actually show in the driver's display?
There are 3 different configurations to the Virtual Cockpit. The particular one that was in use did not show the acceleration figures.
French is my first language. As such, seeing the name "E-tron" always makes me chuckle. Does Audi know that "Etron" means "turd" in French??😂
moi aussi je parle Francais mais je comprend pas je que tu veux dire avec Turd ca rime peut ètre aves citron mais pas de la merde Turd ca rime peut ètre aves citron mais pas de la merde
@@V10PDTDI I didn't say it rhymed, I say "Etron" means or translates into " turd". Use Google translate and translate Etron in French to its English equivalent. Hilarious! 😂 Alternatively, check the definition of étron in a French dictionary.
Please give Jordan a mic!
Best looking EV!
Please do a review of Volkswagen ID Buzz 👍🙏
another car well above the means of most, we can keep dreaming but I will never buy one, other things will take a priority, lol. Thanks for the review!
OK, this car or your Model 3 P?
@@laloajuria4678 The question was directed at Kyle, not his self-appointed assistant.
Grammar check…. Around 5:35, "There’s two levels of traction control." Should be, "There’re two levels of traction control." Another great review, though! 🤓
Hey Kyle, do you feel that it's worth $100k more than your M3P?
Completely different class… one car is beautiful
Tijmen looks nervous. After watching the drive, I just bought an E-Tron GT. Couldn’t justify the RS.
Have missed Tymon (spelling?).
Jordan needed a mic.
I really hope your passengers took you out for a steak dinner Kyle after you saved their life
I think Audi should buy Kyle a steak dinner for saving their car. Excellent reaction time and judgment on how to handle the RV event.
I just wish it was 150k
I'll stick with my Taycan 4S Cross Turismo.
Didn’t the same thing happen in another video?!
It's fast. But I wouldn't consider it "crazy fast," by today's performance standard. No one coming out of the Tesla Model S Plaid (or even Taycan Turbo S) will ever consider the Audi eTron GT crazy fast.
The Audi because of great calibration handles high speed cornering better than the current Tesla can. Speed is not only on straight line.
Did you tell daddy thanks?
That is the wrong road to test this vehicle. If the driver, another vehicle, or the car makes a mistake, it’s highly unlikely to survive. Kile’s buddies were foolish to accept this risk.
Got to agree, he’s driving like he’s on the Nurburgring, the RV driver was obviously pulling into the lay-by and thought the road was clear to cross, lucky Kyle wasn’t “shredding it” as that would have been extremely bad. His buddies looked pretty scared the whole drive, I have had mates who drive like maniacs and I tell them to slow down!
So this car can get away with proper door handles & others (incl Taycan) can't? What sorcery is this?
3:15 What problem did you have to set the charge limit on Taycan? This has to be a first. 🤔
The basic rwd Taycan of T & T Emobility channel only had an average consumption over 30,000 km of only 188 Wh/km, this is 303 Wh/mile. This is with Autobahn and one year of ownership.
missed the opportunity to verify the crash test rating of the car.
That's poor commitment from a car reviewer! 😛🤕
For the price, I would get the Lucid Air GT...
I dont know if anyone else feels this way but Audis used to look so cool -- but in the past 5 years they have gotten downright fugly
169k$ front looks like Honda civic nahn
too bad that you have proved to us that when it comes to EV. its Porsche or nothing
The front looks ugly. Black plastic. looks like cheap after market kit. Audi should paint it red as rest of the car.
The ugly orange side light reflector nonsense the US insists on with their cars is far worse. Thank god we don't have such stupid redundancy in Europe.
@@JohnnyZenith you read my mind. That reflector ruins a lot if vehicles. At least it's somewhat integrated into the headlights instead of being stuck on like an afterthought.
It's a $350 option to get the grill painted the body color
@@snakeeyes9246 Good to see someone agree with me on that and notice it too. Yeah at least it's integrated.
