Audi has just pulled the wraps off the 2025 e-tron GT, and it's got more juice than a freshly squeezed orange on a summer morning. The new e-tron GT is a lightning bolt on wheels, a silent assassin with the heart of a thoroughbred racehorse.
Let's start with the obvious: this thing is fast. Stupid fast. Ludicrously fast. With up to a mind-boggling 912 horsepower in the top-spec RS Performance model, it'll launch you from 0 to 62 mph faster than you can say "Tesla who?" That’s 2.5 seconds by the way. Sure, it might not have the roar of a V8 engine, but trust me, the silent acceleration of this electric beast is just as exhilarating. It feels like being launched into hyperspace without the pesky risk of alien abduction.

While the RS Performance is in fact Audi’s most powerful production vehicle ever, the entry-level S model isn't exactly a slouch either, packing a respectable 671 horsepower under its sleek hood. Trust me, any version of the 2025 e-tron GT will leave you grinning like a possum eating a sweet potato.
But speed isn't everything, right? (Well, maybe it is, but let's pretend it's not for a moment.) The 2025 e-tron GT has also received a makeover worthy of a Hollywood starlet. The exterior boasts a new grille, an updated Audi logo, and some snazzy new wheel designs that'll make your neighbors green with envy. Basically, the old e-tron went to a fancy spa and came back looking like a million bucks.

Step inside, and you'll find an interior that's just as impressive as the exterior. A new squared-off steering wheel, redesigned seats with illuminated logos, and a panoramic sunroof that lets you soak up the rays like a lizard on a hot rock. Oh, and if you opt for the RS Performance trim, you'll get to enjoy the exclusive "Bedford Green" paint job and "carbon camouflage" elements. Because who doesn't want their car to look like it just escaped from a military base?
Let's talk about the nuts and bolts of this electric wonder. Every e-tron GT now comes with a lighter and more efficient rear motor, and the RS Performance model gets a souped-up front motor that'll make your eyeballs pop out of your skull. Audi claims this bad boy is the "first fully electric RS model," which is a bit like saying a hot dog is the first fully sausage-based food, but who am I to argue with marketing?

Range anxiety, you ask? Fear not, dear reader, because the 2025 e-tron GT comes with a bigger battery pack (97.0 kWh) than its predecessor. While we don't have official EPA estimates yet, it's safe to say this thing will go further than a marathon runner on a sugar high. Plus, the charging speed has been boosted to 320 kilowatts, so you can juice up faster than a college student on Red Bull.
The e-tron GT also boasts a slew of other improvements, including upgraded brakes, a redesigned suspension, and optional four-wheel steering for even more agility. It's like Audi took everything that was already great about the e-tron GT and cranked it up to 11.
Of course, all this power and luxury comes at a price. The outgoing e-tron GT wasn't exactly cheap, and you can expect to shell out even more for the 2025 model. But do you really need a retirement fund when you can have a car that makes you feel like you're flying through the air?
So, the 2025 Audi e-tron GT. It is a masterpiece of engineering and design, a car that'll make you grin from ear to ear every time you get behind the wheel. It's the future of electric performance - now. Yes, I know, Porsche Taycan shares identical powertrain but somehow, the Audi just looks meaner, menacing almost. I guess it’s time for Audi to put this electric beast around the Nurburgring, to find out how quick it really is.
