This is the Audi RS e-tron GT review! One of the fastest EVs on the market and I also think, one of the most beautiful cars out there. The RS e-tron GT produces 598 hp and 810 Nm of torque! The declared 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) is 3.3 seconds but the RS e-tron GT is actually faster than that!

What do you think of this gorgeous car?
Beautiful and mussel car 🚗
Thanks for review. The car is more dream than petrolheads beleive.
Here in my village I know two companies (insurance, roofer) who used to drive Audi e trons. They have both switched to ICE and PHEV. The e tron was too heavy , did not match the range requirements and needed a lot of more charging than they had expected. Additionally they had severe problems with the AUDI software.
Pointless as any BEV. But if somebody would give it to me for a review in Portofino I would be very positive as well.
That is a very nice colour.
Great review Anna again. I work at a Audi dealership and love driving the RS E-Tron GT only problem is spending $140,000 for only 200 miles
From what I can see in Auto Trader, just wait 18 months and they lose half their value. Scary!
Great review, still not 100% sold on EV, but cars like this go a long way to swing the debate in favour of them!
Looks like you genuinely did have fun driving this one.
Try its big brother the Porsche Taycan Turbo S or the more daily friendly 4S …….. love to see your comments on that. Great video…. Just in the market for a fast electric coupe
Hi Anna, what is the fastest speed you have ever driven a car, and what was the car? 🏎
Over 300 km/h (about 190 mph) in a Panamera Turbo S e-hybrid. It's a rocket!
Dear Anna, excellent test drive (as every week), unfortunately this car is very expensive and not very economical.
Superb review Anna...congrats! This Audi is a looker, however I'm not yet sold on EVs yet as I love my new BMW M2.
Another great review as always! - I have an Audi RS5 (new model) with the uprated RS exhaust. I always take every opportunity to get it singing, especially in tunnels - that's the old skool boyracer in me! I do love the RS e tron GT, but I worry I'd miss it singing to me????
You’ll soon see the sonorous internal combustion engine as a beautiful if antiquated memory. Nostalgia. But it won’t be out of reach, as the demand for nostalgia remains. But the shriek of an electric motor at very high rpm’s has a charm all its own. Very similar to F1 cars today. If you like that sound, you’ll like the sound of equally sporting EV motors also. They literally SHRIEK, and my little Traxxis 1/10 scale Rally car sounds just like an F1 car. That little “toy” is what converted me to the realization that EV propulsion is not just a little bit better at moving things, it’s not even a close contest. 90+% compared to 25% is not a contest. And ICE manufacturers have spent 120 years and trillions of dollars desperately trying to get even 1% at a time out if ICE efficiency. In times past, a 5% increase in efficiency was headline news for enthusiasts and engineers alike. Meanwhile, electric motors have been more than 85% efficient for all of those same years, without any R&D, no money spent, not even a moment in time needed. Does that sound like a competition? No. It’s not even close. When your competition scores 3 or more points for your every one, with a tiny fraction of the time or money invested, it’s not a contest. It’s an exercise in futility. ICE use over the last 120 years will soon be seen for what it has been. An exercise in ALL of the deadly sins, compounded. To call the use of fossil fuels for propulsion as the most compelling act of evil in all of human history will soon be seen as an understatement. Consider, for a moment, the wars fought over oil, and note that many of them have yet to be recognized as actually having been over oil, often disguised as being about some other more noble cause , such as democracy. Take heed. Remember my words. What has been written , will be done.
Awesome review, i loved it.
Thank you ❤❤❤
Love the car and the colour. What’s the price?
Fabulous as always Anna ! ❤
Good review Anna.wow,what a car.
Awesome car. Awesome review.
Thank you Norman! ❤
This test is well worth watching several times! Beautiful to look at from every angle. That rear end looks gorgeous! It's hard not to like!😃
When the thrust takes away Anna’s ability to speak, even if for a moment, you know that is some prodigious power!!
Great review! Fantastic job Anna and team. Polish with Australian English???
Thank you! Haha, well, Polish that's a bit of a gypsy. More Kiwi than Australian I think, a bit of South African, a bit of English, all over the place!
The beginning of this review where Anna says, “Holy shit!!” is enough to make anyone buy this car!! Hahaha. So funny. Thanks Anna. Also, I loved how you spoke about the reasons why people buy cars and making a great case for the electric, politics aside. I can never afford that car, but if I won the lottery, I’d buy this one because… after you slowed down you were still saying shit as in “…this shitty road….”. This was the most fun I had watching one of your videos and I have fun every time. Great car, great lady!! Every car has its place. Holy shit!!!! Hahahaha!!!!!
Fabulous video ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Lawrence ❤️
Thank you Anna. First time seeing your videos and I enjoyed your presentation and energy. It helped alter my view on EV. Philosophically, I have not been a fan of EV, especially the way it is being forced upon us but I like the looks of the E-tron GT and Taycan (my brother just bought a used Taycan). I would appreciate your insights. Currently, I drive a 2021/22 BMW M550i whose lease ends this December. It has good balance of power, luxury and technology at an affordable price although not the most beautiful or unique looking cars. I have spent months trying to select a car and have yet to do so trying to find the full package that I can afford. I am looking to find a stylish car with 4 seats that has very good performance, luxury and technology. Comfortably, I can afford leasing a $100K USD car and under the right circumstances, I could maybe stretch to $130K - 150K with the help of a great deal. Although I do not need full M level or RS performance, I like those cars because they have the more aggressive styling and details. I have been considering various models from BMW (850i/M8 Gran Coupe, i5 M60, X6 M60i), Audi (S7/RS7 or RS e-tron GT) and to lesser extent MB (E53). I welcome your perspective and any suggestions on cars that I could consider. Thanks and Blessings. David
Hello Anna….well you nailed the video with your excellent and thoughtful review of what I think is the best EV of them all although the very latest Taycan will be an interesting companion. Here in the U.K. they are of course, super expensive but we have a confused market so depreciation is very high indeed. As a private buyer, a used 2/3000 mile cars is more sensible as it typically saves £25/30,000 which is crazy but means the idea can work. We have EV haters and EV fanatics…Facebook has them in unlimited numbers but I am torn….your video and many others show me why I want one…loads of ICE engines are just not much good at all and currently nobody is going to miss a three cylinder Citroen or Ingenium engine…they work…but in comparison, this Audi is on another planet..and price point. Anna…I think we need an E- Tron GT Estate ….that has practicality and make it just a bit higher than the saloon…trim some width and keep all of the rest…now THAT would be a special car!! Stay safe 😃😃😃😃😃😃
Well done Anna knocking 0.3 seconds off the claimed acceleration figure with a 3 seconds dead. You clearly and deservedly enjoyed that a lot. That's close to fast motor bike acceleration in a car! Some toasters have a soul, well I think mine does as it has a mechanical clockwork timer and you have to manually eject the bread. Dualit anyone? As for charging above 90% I would stop charging, I have no desire to milk a bull, that you mention, safety first everyone. Storage space with the rear seats up isn't exactly class leading but at least you can store that bottle of bull milk in the front storage. I do like the car a lot although I'm unlikely going to be able to justify or afford one but I'd love to drive one. A terrific car that could be the perfect enthusiast car as long as you're not the knob you mention, we've all seen them. As usual a brilliantly produced and edited video Anna. Many thanks for sharing.
Love the colour and the lines of this car, I sense it's a car to experience rather than own, unless you're super rich and can simply move on to the next car after a year ha. I just worry about the long term ownership of such a car.
Your hair looks so darn cute in a ponytail!🙏
It’s a gorgeous car you can see the Porsche lines in it. 500 hp I would definitely lose my license in a week.
Hi Gus, it sure does, yet it somehow stands on its own. Well, having nearly 600 hp is a challenging fun, let's just put it this way ;-)
@@AnnaOnRoads hey Anna beautiful car you’ve driven so many EV’s which is your favorite. Ps I know you’re still team petroleum but that’s a beautiful car don’t let it tempt you to leave us.
Gus, this is actually my very favourite EV. By far! But I am not drifting to the other side ;-) drifting, yes, but not to the other side ;-) @@tampaguy6370
@@AnnaOnRoads that’s how it starts a little flirtation a little innocent back-and-forth then you’re gone the ev team .lol
Haha oh it takes a bit more to convince me. I like EVs but will never give me the joy a solid combustion engine does. I travel with EVs across Europe, it's a faff honestly. Cars especially EVs is like dating. Once you've had a few disagreements, and disappointments and might have kicked one another, you're not going to fall head over heels.
It certainly is a stunning looking car ,with a fabulous build quality,and lovely carbin spec.your face when you pulled away told the story certainly sh#t off a shovel 😮 fabulous performance must give top marks to Audio for this one 😊
An absolute beauty of a car inside and out. If it had an ICE it would be even better. If one was to fall for an EV then Audi certainly has made a convincing case. Great review Anna.
Thanks!
Thank you so much Chris! ❤❤❤
Best looking EV in its class 😍
I couldn't agree more!
Beautiful ... Very nice ... I am ordering one ... Do they have DIESEL version ?!?
Happy Sunday Anna! Nice color, although I don't give a rip for EVs and am not an Audi guy personally.
Beautiful beautiful beautiful less about Anna let’s move on , the car - very nice. Keep up the good work Anna
I am not really into EVs but this one my god I ❤ it.
Hi Pablo, yep, exactly how I feel 😉❤️
This car is to speed what you Anna are to gorgeousness
Class for classy
Love it ❤
The depreciation on leaving the showroom is like falling off a cliff, by used and it might make sense
Yes, it's a piano falling off the 10th floor. It happens fast. Really fast.
Support Anna~❤~❤~❤
Thank you John ❤
Just ICE!!!!!!!!!
AnNa hey cOoL review 🇺🇲
I agree with Anna. EV's are a good choice for some people but not for all.
Its a Beautiful car, and one I'm definitely going to look into in the future! I also can appreciate the Beautiful woman driving it! Lovely review Anna, looking forward to the next one!
Test drove when buying the i4 M50, even worse depreciation than the Taycan, which is a lot. (Found RS to be even more overpriced than the Taycan, which surprised me)
Definitely won't be buying another EV anytime soon (selling my m50 for an M2 or M240)
Edit: I do like the EV experience, though miss the gears, revs, engine/exhaust feel and notes. Also EV's are still too heavy for my liking. But again love my m50, it just isn't the car for me. Not too mention the depreciation on EV's is insane.
Well, it's rather hard to beat the M2 or M240. No sorry. It's very very hard to do that ;-) EVs work well in cities, for people who want a quiet relaxing ride.
EVs are still a new subject when it comes to resell value, battery replacement etc. I think leasing is the only way to go with EVs, but it also depends on the market.
Always a pleasure to have you here in France, Anna. Nice car, too.
Hi Neil, wonderful region to film in, can't beat those mild winters!
@@AnnaOnRoads You should come more often! In fact, come to Menton in the middle of May. You never know who you might meet there 😎
I'm there more often than anywhere else ;-) and I get my nails done in Menton! @@neilhartley2526

Thank you Elf ❤
You could tell Anna loves this car, EV or not, I loved her enthusiasm and reasoning towards these cars. Myself, I still like gas powered cars, but the excitement she showed in the video was genuine, so I should keep an open mind as well. Cheers...
nice looking car, but 220 miles of range makes it a no go for the US, where that distance doesn't cover what's needed in such a big country, for example commuting from DC to NYC, miami to orlando, la to San Francisco or vegas to reno. not to mention inter regional trips. cute car, insufficient for America
Later Anna ❤
Hi Iain!
@@AnnaOnRoads Thanks for making such work of art mini films , whatever the vehicle the quality is unsurpassed xx
Ed Bolian of VINWiki UA-cam channel just got one for his wife. Maybe it was you 😂.
Haha, he's not my type 🤣
This awesome RS car is also out of reach for most people
How would I get insurance on that ? 😢
What worries you? Not hard to get insurance for this sort of car. Def easier than insuring a Range Rover in London!
It looks fabulous.Perhaps there is a niche in the market where the Germans can compete better.
This car is OK. You are gorgeous.
Oh the car is gorgeous! But thank you 😊
😀
☺
This is one morbid car review Anna! 🙄 I like the Audi though! 👌
You loved it 🤣
@@AnnaOnRoads Well, it's a good looking EV for sure, better than most, however for aesthetics, I'd go Taycan station wagon for my ultra-luxury EV.👍🏾
The suspension of these cars are so stiff.
They are making every car to be sporty.
On Audi, only the Q7 still can be saved. On BMW, 7 and X7. Even the Range Rover Sport is stiffer than before.
Because the weight of cars in constantly increasing, they have to stiffen the suspension, otherwise, a car will be a rollercoaster! All about handling and safety.
@@AnnaOnRoads cheers for responding, Ann! That’s right, but it’s sad for people that appreciates comfort like me. Hope that Range Rover, Volvo and Rolls Royce never falls for this recipe! Great work!
In my opinion first Audi in years that looks good, but its a lot of Porsche in the design...
Hi Robert, what about the RS5 or RS7? Both stunning machines.
@@AnnaOnRoads RS7 is ok, but RS5 is a to much Volkswagen...
Hallo anna nice girl and car the power of audi Take Care 😀👍

Anna, I’ve never heard you curse, nor nearly “achieve”. What has gotten into you? Oh. It’s electric. And there you go. Soon enough, the naysayers will be laughed at as were the small minded who famously claimed, “that horseless carriage will never replace the horse”. Indeed, nothing can replace the horse, which will ALWAYS be cherished and have its place. So will the internal combustion engine. But as far as how the horse was employed, the electric motor will replace the internal combustion engine with a similarly striking and incomparable contrast. Could a horse pull 4000lbs at 70mph over 400 miles using only 120 pounds of “fuel”?
No. Can an internal combustion engine use 90% of its fuel as energy to do the actual work required of it? No, an ICE is lucky to break. 30%, while an electric motor is more like 85%+. Not even close. A propulsion system usually employs a rotating assembly to provide the rotational force upon round objects which upon revolution of said round object, some distance is covered while moving a load, and this action is known as work done. At what rotational speeds, in revolutions per minute, does an ICE operate best? Well, at zero rpm, it does nothing. At 100rpm, a steam engine can operate, and at 500rpms, a diesel engine can operate, but both have a relatively narrow operating RPM range, and we ‘ll generously give that window a range of 10,000 rpm’s, which is only seen by F1 engines. Meanwhile, the electric motor has a range from zero rpms, up to an rpm only limited by the centrifugal forces created by that rotation, and the strength of the parts contained within to resist destruction from such forces. We’ll conservatively call that window, 50,000RPMs. At what rpms does each make usable power? For ICE we’ll narrow that window to about 4000 rpms. With electric motors that window stays wide open at. 50,000rpms. Are we starting to see the design, packaging, efficiency, operation, expense, and maintenance advantages of EV power? If not, look no further than the conveyance which carries by FAR the most weight the greatest distances over land. The locomotive. How is it powered? They have all been hybrids for about two decades, meaning they use electric motors for 100% of propulsion, and highly refined and efficient diesel engines as generators of electrical power. Why? Because it isn’t just better, it’s better by maybe 100 times over. Hearing Anna curse and become hyper-exhilarated like that reminded me of how people still don’t grasp HOW MUCH BETTER EVs are. It’s not an opinion. It’s not even a contest. The only metric where EVs fall short is with onboard energy density, where diesel fuel still reigns supreme. But once batteries surpass the power to weight ratio of diesel fuel, the diesel fueled vehicles will become museum pieces.
Just a small correction, if you take the brain out of a human theyre also dead mate
Ja ja mate
I and Toyota share the same belief regarding these electric vehicles and this is that they will not be dominant in the future. This is also why Toyota continues to develop fuel engines. As I have said before, these electric vehicles are not the least bit environmentally friendly and now it is starting to be realized that these are less environmentally friendly than diesel cars. Right now people are buying these battery cars (in Sweden, however, sales have decreased sharply), When people have to change the batteries in the cars and realize how expensive it is. A few years ago, a Finn was shocked to hear that it would cost him $20,000 to replace the batteries on his Tesla, so he blew it up. Recently I saw on UA-cam how someone in England had to change the batteries on his Porsche Taycan and it would cost him £40,000, the price will probably end up like that on this Audi RS e-tron GT or even more, the day it comes change. So the future lies more in synthetic environmentally friendly fuel than Battery cars. This is for the following reasons: The cost of replacing the batteries, the many hours it takes to fully charge the batteries, fast charging shortens the life of the batteries. (a car with synthetic fuel only takes a minute or so to refuel and considering the increasingly stressed time we have, you don't have time to wait for an electric car to be charged, the extra cost that is added because the tires have a shorter lifespan. Since the the shorter range a charge lasts in cold weather and how electric vehicle users have to turn off the headlights and turn off the heat to try to get the charge to last longer.The cold snap that hit southern Sweden forced car commuters who have electric vehicles to rent diesel cars to avoid standing around or to freeze in their vehicles. So there you are probably wrong just like the bought EU politicians in Brussels, who are bought from the battery manufacturers. Think of the people who have died/injured in accidents to build Northvolt's battery factory in Skellefteå.
So many manufacturers have already stated that by 2035 or sooner everything they produce will be electric. The only gas car you will be able to buy in 10yrs is a used one. The future is knocking at your door and the past is gone.
@@991carreras3 Now you are wrong about the manufacturers, they have NOT said that 2035 is the last year, but it is the politicians in Brussels who have decided on this. These politicians are bought by the battery manufacturers and then the politicians pump billions (rated in Swedish currency) into North Volt now. These politicians have not listened at all to the warnings that professors have warned about and that is that there is only a limited amount of the substances (can't name them) available to make these batteries. What do you do the day you run out of these subjects? You will see that in the future they will be forced to change you. At the same time, all these politicians are lying to us ordinary people, because I ask you to go to a trade show with only the military vehicles of the future. Then you will see that all new and future military vehicles are still powered by diesel engines. I am in the military and know what it is like with today's and future vehicles. It is not on the map that these vehicles would be powered by batteries.
Hi Ingvar, small electric cars seem to make sense in cities, they might not be the most environmentally friendly (only time will tell!) but they do not produce tailpipe emissions. If you look at cities like London, NYC, Bangkok, Shangai etc. these cities are living murders when it comes to air quality. Not to mention the noise. So EVs would really change this. BUT, the emissions are not disappearing, they are being transferred elsewhere. So the goal, in my opinion, is to reduce the amount of those solutions.
Sweden, Norway etc. - I think EVs are a little crazy in those countries. The freezing temperatures deteriorate batteries so much faster unless they come up with solid-state batteries, it's just not working out. But again, this subject has been politicised so much, it is difficult to know facts, what is the real story.
I'd say, only time will tell. Once we start running out of electricity, they will be singing a different song. But only time will tell ;-) @@991carreras3
@@AnnaOnRoads Anna these battery vehicles are not as environmentally friendly as people and you seem to think. Certainly no emissions, but you destroy nature when you have to first clear away forests and then dig for the substances needed to manufacture these batteries. In their wake, they leave great damage in nature that will never be restored. It is to destroy the environment but then in a different way. Then several geological experts have said, but the politicians in Brussels do not listen to nor within the UN, that there is no amount of substances to manufacture the batteries with. What is more destroyed in nature than those who advocate electric vehicles, is all the forest that has been cleared from Sweden to Finland and towards Norway, in order to be able to replace several miles of power lines in order to be able to secure the electricity supply until, among other things, charging all electric vehicles. Its forest being cleared looks like great highways of felled trees, nor is it good when the forest that supplies us with oxygen disappears forever. Anna that I wrote to a guy in response to what I see that has been in the military but that ordinary civilians don't get to see. Is at these military fairs with new military vehicles from light to heavy tanks that will be present now and in the future, is that none of these are electric but all new vehicles are powered by diesel engines and it will always be like that. Then why should you listen to politicians who are bribed/bought by the battery car manufacturers that their product is the best and the EU is pumping billions in. You will see that there will come a day when the EU is forced to accept synthetic fuel. Since it is no longer possible to build new batteries because the substances for this have run out. At the same time, the spent batteries have become environmental criminals, and they are already today. As you cannot take care of these batteries, they are piled up outside.
