Despite its slinky looks, the four-door E-tron GT promises a practical side
THERE’S A REASON why few of us end up buying the supercars we pinned up on our bedroom walls as kids. It’s because, while they looked incredible on those posters, they would almost certainly be hell to live with.
Well, okay, the fact that we can’t afford them probably has something to do with it, too. But ‘hell to live with’ is at least a factor.
It’s the classic ‘never meet your heroes’ scenario; better to not let reality ruin the rose-tinted image we’ve built up in our heads, right? However, with my new Audi E-tron GT, I’m hoping to prove that you can have poster car looks and performance figures without the drawbacks.
