Audi has lifted the lid on its updated e-tron model, which sports new exterior styling, an increased battery capacity, a reduction in overall weight and introduces a range-topping Performance model with 912bhp.
The updates are in line with similar revisions to the Porsche Taycan, upon which the e-tron shares the majority of its underpinnings.
Upgrades to the battery capacity, improvements to the motor and a tweak to battery cell chemistry means greater performance range and faster charging speeds across the board.
Audi states that the e-tron GT family’s high voltage battery can charge from 10 to 80 percent in only 18 minutes at a high-power charging (HPC) station. In just ten minutes, it can add up to 174 miles of range.
The entire model line-up has been tweaked to reflect the changes made, with the ‘entry-level’ dual-motor model now badged Audi S e-tron GT, which boasts 671bhp from the powerful all-electric set-up.
Driving dynamics have been improved with the introduction of air suspension as standard across the range, while an optional active system tilts the body into corners and can counteract the forces felt when accelerating and braking.
It will take a keen eye to differentiate the S e-tron GT and RS models, with a matte, darkened carbon roof in combination with optional carbon camouflage elements setting the latter apart.
Inside, the German marque has added a new flat top and flat bottomed steering wheel with touch sensitive buttons taking care of car functionality. In the two RS models, there are two large buttons that take care of driving modes and initiate customised driving settings.
Official UK pricing will be revealed closer to the on-sale date in August, but prices in Germany start at €126,000 (around £106,500) for the S, rise to €147,500 (around £124,670) for the RS and top out at €160,500 (around £135,650) for the RS Performance model.
