Audi has launched its electric e-Torn GT and RS e-Torn GT cars in India. The starting ex-showroom price of the e-Torn GT is Rs 1.80 crore and the starting ex-showroom price of RS e-Torn GT is Rs 2.05 crore. The Audi e-Torn GT was introduced in February this year. Outside India, it will compete directly with the Tesla Model S Plaid and Porsche Tekken. The RS version can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds.
The E-Torn GT's motor generates 470 hp of power and 630 Nm of torque. At the same time, it has an additional 522 hp power and 10 Nm over-boost mode. Similarly, the motor of the RS e-Torn GT generates 590 hp of power and 830 Nm of torque. It has a power mode of an additional 637 hp. Even after weighing around 2,300 kg, the e-torn GT EV accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds and the RS version in 3.3 seconds. The E-Torn GT gets 20-inch alloys and the RS version gets 21-inch wheels.
The 93kWh battery pack has been given in the E-Torn GT. It uses 800-volt technology. Audi in its claim has ensured that this car can be fast-charged. According to the company, it gives a range of 100 km in 5 minutes of fast charging. However, it will need to be charged overnight with a normal charger. The company says that this car gives a range of 487 km on a single charge.
The cabin of the e-Tron is as plush and futuristic as can be expected from a new generation Audi car. The 12.3-inch Audi Virtual Cockpit digital instrument cluster is paired with a 10.1-inch touchscreen. It helps with infotainment needs as well as navigation, including searching for the nearest charging station.
Although there is no direct competition from these two models, it is believed that it can compete with Mercedes EQC and Jaguar I-Pace. The Mercedes EQC price in India is Rs 1.07 Cr ex-showroom and the Jaguar I-Pace price is Rs 1.06 Cr ex-showroom.
