Audi expands the e-tron GT family for 2025 with three new models

Audi's 2025 e-tron GT lineup gives buyers three blends of luxury and performance

Audi EV sales are going so well that the company just announced an expanded lineup for the 2025 Audi e-tron GT family. Audi’s 2024 lineup included the Audi e-tron GT Quattro, which Audi introduced in 2021. For 2025, however, EV buyers can choose from the Audi S e-tron GT, the Audi RS e-tron GT, and the Audi RSe-tron GT performance. That last variant, Audi’s first BEV performance model, puts out 912 horsepower.

Why Audi’s e-tron GT models matter

This year is turning out to be tricky for all-electric vehicle development as Toyota continues to boost the practical aspects of hybrids, GM cuts back planned EV production, and Ford makes the case for gas, hybrid, and BEV powertrains of different target markets. However, Audi isn’t the only company doing well with EVs, as BMW sets U.S. sales records due to its EV models. Audi’s Q-series SUV e-tron models get a lot of notice, but going big and expanding its all-electric sedan lineup with the three e-tron GTs is a bold move. This strategy could be used by Audi to make a statement, except the automaker began the fiscal year happy with the profits from EVs.

It’s beyond the scope of this news article to get very deep into the common feature set of Audi’s 2025 e-tron GT series and the factors that make each variant unique. The 2025 e-tron GTs will all have new suspensions to mitigate comfort and performance, as well as platform-wide improvements in range and charging.

According to Audi, the Audi S e-tron GT balances elegance and sportiness. It has a combined 670 horsepower from its front and rear axle motors and can go from 0-to-100 km/h (62.2 mph) in 3.4 seconds. The RS e-tron GT leans more toward the sporty side of the equation, with 844 combined horsepower and a 0-to-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds. The RS e-tron GT performance model puts its 912 hp down for a 2.5-second trip to 100 km/h.

The new e-tron GTs will also benefit from greater range and faster charging thanks to the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture jointly developed by Audi and Porsche. Audi states the e-tron GT will have a range of up to 378 miles, based on the WLTP European rating system, and can regain up to 174 miles of range with just 10 minutes of charging.

Customers can order the 2025 Audi e-tron GT models now. U.S. pricing is not yet available, but the dollar equivalent starting prices for the three e-tron GT variants are:

  • 2025 Audi S e-tron GT, $135,289
  • 2025 Audi RS e-tron GT, $158,393
  • 2025 Audi RS e-tron GT performance, $172,353

992.2 Porsche GT3 debuts for 2025

In the world of the autoverse, few vehicles command a loyal following like the Porsche 911. It is one of the longest-running nameplates in automotive history and the second-longest continuous sports car nameplate sold in the U.S., behind only the Chevy Corvette. Over nearly six decades, the iconic 911 has had a plethora of derivatives and variants over the years. Arguably, the purest of those sub-models is the GT3.

Introduced as part of the 996 lineup in 1999 and taking cues from the incredible 1973 Carrera 2.7 RS, the GT3 was created as a homologation model to allow Porsche to compete in FIA GT3 cup racing. Porsche has just announced the newest iteration of the GT3, internally designated 992.2. With a quarter of a century of history behind it, we decided to ride down memory lane and get you up to speed on this sensational radical racecar for the street.

Why Formula E is such a big deal

Formula E is the only FIA motorsports championship that has created zero emissions with its race cars starting with its first season. All-electric race cars are the signature environmentally conscious elements of Formula E racing, but the Championship also focuses on carbon neutral or better in all of its operations, including transporting fans to and from stadiums.

Audi e-tron’s high voltage batteries may short circuit, VW recall says
What to know about the Audi e-tron recall
Audi e-tron GT quattro, e tron Gran Turismo, and RS eTron GT Performance..

Ironically, it seems the topic of EVs has become as polarizing as the batteries that power these cars. So, when a recall shows up saying that the high-voltage batteries may short-circuit, it will more than likely cause one of two types of reactions. If you are anti-EV, the "here we go, I knew it!" sentiment will probably come to mind, validating all of the fears and concerns surrounding electric vehicles.

However, if you are pro-EV, this recall will probably be filed under the "this is just a hiccup along the path of progression of batteries" portion of your brain. In either case, here is the information to do with as you will:
