Audi RS e-Tron GT 2022 Oman Prices & Specs

The Audi RS E-Tron GT is the German luxury brand's first all-electric RS vehicle offering. Built on Audi’s J1 platform which is shared with Porsche Taycan, the E-tron packs a 93.4 kWhr battery and two motors to power the front and rear wheels. It features a 2-speed automatic transmission. Audi intentionally kept the design somewhat similar to their petrol-powered cars, to make potential customers switching to electric feel more comfortable with the initial transition. What Audi managed to do is keep the drive similar to a combustion-engined Audi. During normal driving, most of the braking is done by the electric motors, which then send the captured energy to the battery. The best feature of this system is the brake pedal feel, which is not like the “switch” feel of other electric cars, but gives that linear braking smoothness of non-electric cars. At speeds below 11 kph, it switches to normal hydraulic brakes so you don’t get that jerky feeling when parking or moving slowly through traffic.
