### The Audi RS e-tron GT: A New Benchmark for Electric Supercars

The Audi RS e-tron GT has set a new benchmark for electric supercars, with a blistering lap time of 2:50.6. This achievement is a testament to the rapid progress made in electric vehicle technology and the Audi RS e-tron GT’s exceptional performance.

### A Perfect Proof Point of Lap-Time Progress

The Audi RS e-tron GT’s lap time is a significant improvement over its closely related predecessor, the 2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo S. The e-tron GT, wearing identical Pirelli P Zero PZ4 tires, went 4.6 seconds quicker, showcasing improvements in every sector.

### Active Suspension and Magnetic Ride Control

The Audi RS e-tron GT’s active suspension, shared with the latest Taycan Turbo GT, is a key factor in its exceptional handling and stability. The dampers are designed to keep the body as low as possible, but unlike the Taycan, the e-tron GT’s setup is not as determined to achieve this goal. This allows the car to be pushed to the limit without becoming twitchy or unstable.

### Easy to Push to the Limit

The Audi RS e-tron GT is an exceptional car to drive, with a comfortable and responsive handling that makes it easy to push to the limit. We immediately felt comfortable and up to speed, and the car’s performance was a joy to experience.

### A New Standard for Electric Supercars

The Audi RS e-tron GT’s lap time is well off the pace of the fastest four-door EVs, which have both extra power and a lot more in the tire department. However, the fact that a 5170-pound four-door sedan is cozied up on our all-time leaderboard to some of the hottest cars from roughly a decade ago—a 2012 Corvette ZR1 and a 2014 Ferrari F12 — demonstrates the rapid gains in track prowess since then.

### Electric Company: The Audi RS e-tron GT’s Place in the Electric Vehicle Hierarchy

The Audi RS e-tron GT’s 2:50.6 time, which is 0.1 second quicker than the C6 ZR1, ranks 69th overall but fifth among its electric brethren. This places the e-tron GT in an excellent position, demonstrating its exceptional performance and handling.

### Conclusion

The Audi RS e-tron GT is a remarkable car that sets a new benchmark for electric supercars. Its exceptional performance, handling, and lap time make it a must-drive experience for any enthusiast. With its rapid progress in electric vehicle technology, the Audi RS e-tron GT is an exciting addition to the world of electric supercars.
