We head on-track at Goodwood in Audi’s game-changing all-electric grand tourer – its most powerful production car to date – to set a new electric benchmark
Whether redefining loose-surface grip in the World Rally Championship, scaling new heights at Pikes Peak, conquering the British Touring Car Championship or beating its Le Mans 24 Hours rivals into submission 13 times from 18 races, Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive has changed the face of racing, and delivered improved confidence and safety to millions of road drivers thereafter..
“The brakes on the Audi RS e-tron GT are awesome,” Baz admits. “They work best when there’s temperature in them, so they really come to life when you’re on-track. The braking is really stable and predictable which gives you the confidence to attack the corners and brake later and later with every passing lap.”
“Compared to a lot of modern-day venues, the safety features at Goodwood are very different,” he admits. “There are a lot of camber changes, and more than a few of the corners are unconventional double-apex turns. And there really aren’t a lot of tyre walls or a lot of run off. If you’ve never driven Goodwood before, it can catch you out – and there aren’t a lot of gravel traps to catch you if you make a mistake.
As the Audi RS e-tron GT passes 60mph, the air suspension lowers the body by 10 millimetres. As the car passes 112mph, it lowers by 12 millimetres more. All the while, Baz sits perfectly positioned in the e-tron GT’s cosseting sports seats, eyes laser-focused on the challenging apexes ahead at St Mary’s and Lavant.The fast left and right of St.
It’s one thing having a quick car, and the Audi RS e-tron GT is unquestionably rapid, but – lest we forget – this is not a track-focused super-saloon. For all intents and purposes, the Audi RS e-tron GT has been designed to be a luxurious, ultra-civilised gran tourer – just as capable of a trip to the shops as much as travelling to Scotland and back for a weekend escape.
