The Audi RS e-tron GT electric vehicle features an 800-volt lithium-ion battery integrated into the flat underbody, providing exceptional performance during charging and driving. In conjunction with the energy recovery system, it offers a range of up to 472 km, according to the globally harmonised light vehicle test procedure, and reaches a speed of 3.3 km/h. The battery charge time from 5% to 80% is 22.5 minutes.

The RS design package adds attractive touches to the car's interior. The red version of the package achieves this with contrasting red stitching, creating a bold and attention-grabbing effect. Additionally, the grey version of the RS design package emphasises the car's interior's evident elegance and progressive design. This is achieved by combining high-quality materials and contrasting steel grey stitching, creating a modern and sophisticated appearance. Overall, both versions of the RS design package can add unique and appealing touches to the car's interior.
