    Audi e-tron GT Revealed With Range Topping RS Packing 590 hp (440 kW)

    Audi is joining in on the electric frenzy with their most exciting offering yet, the e-tron GT and the RS e-tron GT.

    The e-tron GT will make use of the familiar (Porsche Taycan) 93.4-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, an 800-volt electrical architecture that allows rapid recharging an electric motor on each axle, and a rear-mounted two-speed automatic.

    The base model will deliver 469 hp (350 kW) and 630 Nm (464 lb-ft) while the RS variant packs a menacing 590 hp (440 kW) and 830 Nm (612 lb-ft). Like the e-tron crossover, the GT has an overboost function that temporarily increases output to 522 hp (389 kW) and 637 hp (475 kW), respectively.

    This allows the regular e-tron GT will hit 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds and the RS e-tron GT in just 3.3 seconds.

    Audi predicts the standard models will cover 383 km (238 miles) per charge, while the RS should net 373 km (232 miles). That said, if Porsche is any indication, these estimates may be dramatically lower than the real-world range.

    Jump inside and you will be greeted with a 12.3-inch touchscreen display leaning toward the driver and replacing the lower 8.6-inch touchscreen with a smaller unit and physical buttons to manage the climate controls.

    As expected, the RS variant features a few additional sporty features including plenty carbon fibre, sports seats, red stitching, and an Alcantara-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel.

    You might have noticed that it is rather similar to the Taycan on the exterior which is not a bad thing but might be a tad disappointing for fans eager for a 100-percent Audi take on the electric sedan.

    At this stage we understand that Audi South Africa is still considering and planning for our market but at the time of writing, there has been no ETA or confirmation unfortunately.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye πŸ˜‰ 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
