e-tron GT [Official] Audi e-tron GT

The Audi e-tron GT is a battery electric executive car produced by Audi since late 2020 as part of the e-tron battery electric sub-brand, and the third fully electric car model, after Q8 e-tron and Q8 e-tron Sportback SUVs. It is also Audi's first full-sized electric sedan, and the RS e-tron GT, put on the market in 2021 is, in terms of 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) times, the fastest Audi sedan to date. Based on the J1 platform shared with the Porsche Taycan, the car went on sale in March 2021.
Oh, for you guys who are not convinced with the E-Tron GT,

An even more desirable variant of it is in the pipeline.

Do you guys really think Audi won't make a Sportback version of the Taycan Turismo ?

that would be the version I would buy. Do you think it would be a Sportback or an Avant? Given its size I would be inclined to think it would be an Avant.

Much indicates a very sleek, shooting brake-ish Avant.
 
I've made a small comparision video between production and concept versions of the e-tron GT.

There are several changes... but I don't understand especially one of them... changin shape of the rear side window.. :unsure:

Nice video ....the concept front was much better..

The more I look.at the car I am not liking the rear lights..

The Taycan is obviously the halo car. It’s a design perfection IMO.

The E-Tron GT is growing on me anyway. I have to admit that except the door handles and its interior the little details make it look even better than the concept. The best part are the little retouches in the front, even though I hope it will drop the „kind of grille” with a facelift. Chrome and giant grilles have to go.

In the concept it is more pointed and looks too much like the A7, I guess that's why they changed it

This window is more rounded in the E-tron than in A7 and even more rounded is the one in the Taycan,
Before they didn't seem "so" similar to me, but looking at them side by side ...... the differences are only in the details

This closely mirrors my initial impressions. Good point regarding the taillamps, which I also find find rather "thick". A more shallow, single full width band not unsimilar yet different to that seen on 911s' and Taycans may have been aesthetically more pleasing.

All in all, I'm following those stating: "Great exterior. Interior-Move along, folks-there's nothing to see here".

Oh, I'll correct that about the interior: "There's TOO MUCH to see !".
@martinbo mentioned a very good observation that I couldn't describe well about why there's something off for me regarding the taillamps, which is quoted below:
I don't like how the taillights turned out. That big mass of darkened lens beneath the raised red lens brightwork looks awful. It's a weird stylistic practice of Audi's - they did the same thing with the Q8's front lights.
I am not a fan of the trend of the very thin lights, whether the front ones or the tail ones, but I prefer a ratio that is proportional to the general profile and look of the whole car. However, I actually like Audi's approach by giving two "full" taillights, as this gives a bit more shape for the back in my opinion, whereas the Taycan's execution is distinctively a Porsche design trait which, while I don't dislike it, I don't think it works on other cars, but Audi's execution is a bit too tall for the proportions as I mentioned, where we both agree on that. This 3D design makes the lower part of the darkened lenses mentioned by @martinbo give me a feeling that I'm looking at some vent-like fillings, especially with the dark grey colour chosen for the photoshoot release.
 
that would be the version I would buy. Do you think it would be a Sportback or an Avant? Given its size I would be inclined to think it would be an Avant.

I think it would be an Avant but Audi will stubbornly call it a Sportback.

But I wish they would call it a Shootingback
 
I'm grateful to have a very accomodating local Audi Center. They continue to "tolerate" my dropping by occasionally despite the fact that I haven't purchased a car from them in some 16+ years and have politely made it clear that I no longer have the need or urge to buy/lease premium vehicles. I guess having purchased several vehicles from them in the 1990s' and early 00s' + having accomodated them with a few referals counts for something after all. They even allowed me some behind the wheel time in an A7 demonstrator a couple of years ago. They're really a nice lot.

Anyway-I'll be looking forward to pestering them come May. Not that I expect them to offer me a test drive, but surely they'll permit me to thoroughly scrutinize the eTron GT in their presentation pavillion. I'm really looking forward to that.

It makes you wonder if E-Tron GT is actually a discarded Taycan proposal or indeed the never seen Pagun mid-size model.
 

Audi

Audi AG is a German automotive manufacturer of luxury vehicles headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. A subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, the company’s origins date back to the early 20th century and the initial enterprises (Horch and the Audiwerke) founded by engineer August Horch (1868–1951). Two other manufacturers (DKW and Wanderer) also contributed to the foundation of Auto Union in 1932. The modern Audi era began in the 1960s, when Volkswagen acquired Auto Union from Daimler-Benz, and merged it with NSU Motorenwerke in 1969.
