Audi e-tron GT facelift (2024): more than 1,000 horses?

After Porsche presented (and tested us) its facelifted Taycan in February, it’s now the turn of the technically identical Audi e-tron GT to benefit from an update. Audi remains discreet in this first presentation, revealing to us a model covered with a very good camouflage… The press release also shares with us the exchange of keys between Ducati test rider Alessandro Valia and the Audi e-tron GT project manager. , Jaan Mattes Reiling, at Audi Sport headquarters in Neuburg. But the real star of the show is the new e-tron GT!

Little difference to this Audi e-tron GT!

Like the Taycan, the Audi e-tron GT remains heavily tested in its aesthetic development. We see a slightly redesigned front fascia, with expanded ventilation, as well as a very cleverly designed rear shield… We can also expect some advancements in on-board technology. It’s amazing, and even though it’s traditional for the brand, the light signature seems to have remained unchanged. The biggest news, however, is under the hood.

What power?

Let’s go straight to the point: it seems unlikely that the Audi e-tron GT will benefit from the same horsepower as the Taycan Turbo GT, namely 1,108 horsepower. After all, even the first version was slightly behind the Porsche Taycan! However, performance should be higher than that of the current RS e-tron GT, which grows to 440 kW (598 hp). There are rumors of an RS Performance that could take the 650 kW (884 hp) powertrain from the Taycan Turbo. If this rumor is true, Porsche still holds the advantage in terms of performance…

Great battery, fast charging

What is certain is that the 2024 Audi e-tron GT will receive a new battery from the Taycan, that is, a pack of 105 kWh total (including 97 kWh usable), for a WLTP range of more than 650 kilometers. In addition to its greater capacity, this battery also charges faster, with a direct charging capacity of 320 kW (compared to 270 kW before the facelift). With such power, the battery can recover from 10 to 80% charge in just 18 minutes. We still don’t have an official launch date, but the Audi e-tron GT facelift is expected in the coming months.
