Audi RS e-tron GT performance - Drive and performance
With the Audi RS e-tron GT performance, Audi is debuting its first fully electric RS performance model. The four-door coupé demonstrates bundled technical expertise – and Audi’s passion for details. Powerful, sporty, and confident, it reflects the brand’s high standards for developing and building cars. The RS e-tron GT performance is the dynamic flagship for electric mobility at Audi.
In addition to a permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PSM) on the front axle with a reinforced driveshaft and an output of 252 kW (342 PS), the electric Gran Turismo features a newly developed PSM on the rear axle with an output of 415 kW (564 PS).The increased copper density of the special hairpin winding in the electric motors’ stator maximizes current conduction. Moreover, the rotor in the electric motor at the rear is more compact and lighter. Overall, Audi has reduced the weight of the electric motor on the rear axle by ten kilos. What’s more, both electric motors have power reserves for dynamic driving situations. Launch Control can briefly use resources from the HV battery and the electric motors for an output of up to 680 kW / 925 PS (combined power consumption: 20.8–18.7 kWh / 100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 0 g/km; CO2 class: A).- Available media:

Audi RS e-tron GT performance – Battery and charging technology
Audi has lowered the weight of the high-voltage (HV) battery while simultaneously increasing its energy density. Despite the higher energy content, the weight of the HV battery has been reduced by nine kilograms to a total of 625 kilograms. The HV battery boasts a gross storage capacity of 105 kWh (net: 97 kWh). Among other measures, optimizing the two-layer cooling plate results in a twelve percent increase in capacity for the 33 cell modules, each holding twelve pouch cells with a flexible outer skin. Audi has also modified the cooling system of the cells themselves.

Audi Q8 TFSI e quattro – Plug-in hybrid technology
The Audi Q8 55 TFSI e quattro and the Q8 60 TFSI e quattro are the plug-in hybrid versions (PHEV) in the model range. A compact electric motor supports the 3.0 TFSI engine. The new liquid-cooled lithium battery in the rear can now store a 22 kWh net (25.9 kWh gross) of energy.
