2026 Audi RS e-tron GT

Saying you own a 2026 Audi RS E-tron GT doesn't exactly roll off the tongue like an "Audi R8," but like the R8 of yesteryear, this electric four-door supercar is the spiciest car Audi sells. It produces 912 horsepower. Let that sink in for a moment. Nine hundred and 12. Audi says it'll hit 60 mph in 2.5 seconds, making it the quickest production Audi ever. Even its range is decent (an EPA-estimated 278 miles on a full charge). It also has four doors and a proper trunk, so although both are on the small side, they're obviously better than what you would've got in an R8 or any number of similar supercars.

Besides the most obvious Taycan, there are a number of high-powered electric cars, though they are all closer to hyperspeed-capable limousines than four-door supercars. The Lucid Air offers mega power, and its performance-focused Sapphire trim is considerably less expensive than the RS E-tron GT. The Mercedes-AMG EQS and BMW i7 M70 are definitely more limo-like but do offer plenty of speed.

The RS E-tron GT is mechanically related to the Porsche Taycan, so if the two seem similar in terms of size, silhouette and specs, it's not a coincidence. In terms of performance, the RS E-Tron GT lands roughly between the 871-hp Taycan Turbo and the 938-hp Taycan Turbo S. Why choose the Audi? Well, the RS E-tron GT comes with more features for less money. Though it's hard to see that as a deciding factor, value is value, right? Ultimately, we suspect you'll choose which car's styling and technology features you like more.
