AUDI E-TRON GT
Does our big electric coupé live up to the last part of its name?

WHY WE’RE RUNNING IT Audi’s inceptive performance EV is a class act, but what’s it like to live with?
For an indication of just how excellent the E-tron GT is, consider that I recently returned from an 1800-mile trip – and with it, endless charging stops – not hating the thing. I’m as surprised as you are. This kind of journey should have undone the Audi, with its paltry 240-mile cruising range, but it didn’t. If anything, I like it more.
The trip was our first proper look at whether an EV in 2023 can be a true performance GT (the longerlegged Hyundai Ioniq 6 or Mercedes EQE don’t make the cut on dynamic grounds). There will be a feature on our adventure to Verona and back in due course, so I won’t spoil that, but I want to mention a few things.
