What would you spend £120,000 on?
McLaren MP4-12C or 650s
On internal combustion car ❤
definitely a porsche....🌝
F87 m2, with a 650hp ls7 that spins to 8500rpm. I actually plan to build one after I sell my 6.0 ls swapped e36.
I want something newer, and dct. I had a supercharged e92 m3 and it was the best car I've owned. (Unfortunately it was 6mt)
fixing all the fluid leaks in my Alfa Romeo 159.
Can watch this guy review cars for hours. Even when it's vehicles I've seen others speak about. It doesn't hit the same as when he does it.
I definitely agree with you
Same, this guy is top 3 for me
🤮
@@stuartconnor740you ok?
@ambessashield9360 no not really - something I read made me feel sick - hence the emoj
for me this is the best looking electric car to date, and powerful too
You think this looks better than the Taycan?
@@dantem306much
@@dantem306 E-Tron GT and Taycan being the same car underneath it's just a matter of taste, and you can't argue taste!
Yes you can. One looks like an ordinary car, one looks like a sports car.@@riesa85
Model S for me
Up to 50,000 dollar discount available on such an Audi if you lease it in the USA. Very little demand, massive depreciation.
They can drop the price so much because they are basically a shell and a battery. There is no real value in the car.
Plus 60 pounds to charge a battery. That’s 72 bucks!!
Used these cars are going for like 80k. It's funny since the Tesla Model S plaid used is also right around 80k. Two different types of cars, but all heavily depreciating. Shows how volatile the EV market is. Rs6's are still going cor about 120k lightly used, and remain one of the least depreciating modern audis.
I got mine for $44K with 16k miles from Rochester dealership. I still have $4K tax credit this year.
So, $40k for this car in like new condition isn't bad, is it it?
You got a branded title car then, nowhere in the country is this car going for less than $63k and that's for the lowest spec. version and that was with low miles. If you got the e-tron GT for $44k you should sell it immediately because you can nearly double your money and still have money left over to buy another @@hassanger8128
This guy is legit, lit and has the charisma of a proper presenter. No.1 best automotive reviewer ever. Utterly GOAT. Very easy to learn from this guy.
I actually like Audi not going full on into developing an entire infotainment system. No matter what car you produce it's always the case that by the end of the production, the system and the apps on it are already outdated. Android and iOS apps are moving at lightspeed and there is no point of racing against them. Simple Android Auto and Apple Carplay is more than enough. They are basically offering you wireless displays to which you can connect your phone to your car. It can't get any more personalized than that.
Unless you use android automotive. It will always be up to date
While you are right, Renault did it right with making agreement together with Google and Qualcomm for a great Android Automotive system. Volvo did it right too by going with Android Automotive. And it is still possible to develop an entire infotainment system that is solid on your own with proper investment and strategy. So Audi has a choice and it has opted for bad, stable system and just using your phone. For 120k car, that's cheap approach.
The main reason I love Audi interiors is they actually put buttons for climate control and some other things so it makes it easier to operate. That’s one of the big reasons I chose to buy my a5.
@@jonlikesplanesI agree with you that buttons need to be tactile not touch screen. My wife’s E-tron launch edition has no buttons anywhere, just 3 touch screens 👍🏻
@@MartinzW It may be cheap yes, but it will still provide the same functionality you phone has 5-10-15 years down the road as long as it meets the minimal requirements. Just sit inside a Volvo XC90 from 2018. It already feels outdated looking at the design of the screen and the system menus. To be kept modern, it will require a team of developers constantly updating the firmware and that goes against the manufacturer's interest - why would people buy their new model if the old one provides the same features?
Great review as per usual! I really like that you took the effort to do a long-term review. Keep up the phenomenal work, and some of the best presentation out there Rory🙌
Not long ago I used to think that the Taycan was the most beautiful car I have seen and that I can actually buy, BUT having seen an e-tron I must say it has grown in me. I do want one, they look absolutely fantastic.
I owned this car since 10 month and 16 000 km and I am very happy with it! It is a great pleasure to drive it in every type of road. And the last but not the least, i love very much its design!
Going to look at one next week
Why did you only drive for 10 months? You couldn’t even make it a year? lol!
Your explanations are exceptional and willing to listen more and more. Not less or not more. Keep it up. Thanks.
Awesome review! Clicked as soon as I saw your video. I love this car, beautiful both outside and inside. the second hand value is a steal! Also love your content! Keep up the good work.❤
Great review.
Being realistic, the RS7 (the comparison) would need refuelling at less than 300 miles, and at that distance we all need a decent break, so the time constraint becomes almost irrelevant.
Rory is easily best car journalist on you tube!!
Thankyou.
Agreed. Only issue is the reliability of charging stations. Long way to go there but I’m hopeful
Except that it's a 25min break every 350km, and that it costs you noticeably more than diesel.
On the paper EV range is okay, if you occasionally do big mileage it can be okay, but for a person who actually needs a GT to do big mileage every week that is just not good enough. A 320d will do a thousand km on a single tank : you drive and drive, never thinking about range, until it finally warns you that you're low, and you still have 150km. It's just a thing that happens sometimes, the car goes "ding", you go to a station when you see one, 5min fill-up and let's go. It is never a worry.
Whereas with EV you kind of have to make sure you got range, plan your breaks... And God forbid you couldn't, or simply forgot to charge up the day before your trip.
EVs are fun, some people don't mind the range tradeoff, but for some it is just not a great experience outside of the daily commute. Not to mention, a used 320d costs 15k€...
@@JeanPineau44 agreed. But I was trying to offer a similar example. Price, size, performance.
The man that buys a Audi etron GT won’t be buying a £15k 150000 mile 320d. At least make it comparible.
@@markwoods8898except the RS7 takes 2 minutes to fill instead of 25.
@@Pete_1986 I get that. But the comparison is refuelling after a long journey. We all need a break.
Plus you can’t refuel a rs7 while you sleep.
Don’t get me wrong, I think EV’s are a fad.The Betamax era!!
Biofuels are the answer.
Porsche has already developed one. And once it can be massed produced the EV Agenda will be over. 2028! Put it in your diary!!
How many will have burst into flames by then??
Given £120,000 I would buy a Smart #1 Brabus and a Second-hand 911. As the daily drive would be practical, cheap, fast and fun. Then the weekend car would be a beautiful sounding Porsche.
More of these long-term vids please! Enjoyed it. Good job you
Fantastic review as always Rory. I have a regular 2019 e-from 55, and it does have a sports selection on the gear shifter that you can use in any driving mode. Too bad they didn’t add that to the far more expensive and nicer GT model.
Your videos are a dose of positivity. Thank you for that!
your next car?
Agreed!
We have the RS e-tron GT. It is a phenomenal car to drive. Started with a Tesla but not for long. Sensors were not much good for safety. This car even slams the breaks on if something has suddenly appeared behind you when reversing plus 360 degree view of the car and heads-up. Amazing safety features. Agree about the phone charging but if phone is cable charging the car reminds you that your phone is still in the car when you go to leave. Build quality is brilliant. Operating system could do with some updating. Audi has been a bit lazy and money pinching here. Have never thought of increasing power to overtake as have always found enough power from just being electric but I am not a boy racer.
Awesome long-term review Rory. I think the reason the screens haven't frozen is because Audi stuck with the tried and tested, no fancy, new fangled stuff
Fabulous car and a great video as always. Keep it up!
This is in my top 3 best looking cars on the market right now. Definitely going to buy one once they depreciated some more, doesn't even have to be an RS version
Great, in depth review Rory. Love this guy.
Great video and glad you enjoyed your time with the RS e-tron GT. Love mine and agree with your observations (although I've yet to injure myself on the door handle). Depreciation is probably the biggest issue with EV's across the board at the minute as you say. I was lucky to get a fairly hefty discount on my ex demo Carbon Vorsprung back in March but I'd be loathed to buy a brand new one at the minute. Winter range for those that have asked in the comments is mid 200's. Charged mine to 80% last night and it's showing 210 miles available. The non RS one I had did around 240-50 on 100% in winter (this'll be my first winter with the RS so happy to report back, but so far no issues with expected vs reported range).
Yeah I have one too. I have had my shirt caught on the edge of the door itself. I won't be buying another VW product after this because it has a good percentage of the quality control issues I've had for decades with German vehicles.
is it a massive difference in acceleration between rs and non rs? i drove the non rs and while it is fast, it wasnt as "breathtaking" as i thought it would be
@@jimmymcgill5572 I bought it when supply was still tight and Audi only had the top end package. I almost bought the gv60 but they were marking up 10k at the dealer level whereas Audi was just limiting to the high margin packages. I felt it was fair at the time. But 160 fell to 80 in no time. I feel played. And the car isn't even that well built. Numerous issues so far, from the seat ventilation fan vibrating to the audio repeatedly skipping whether directly connected or on Bluetooth. I won't buy another German car.
Edit; Forgot to answer your question haha. I didn't even get to try the non RS but I wouldn't have bought anything slower or shorter range because then there would've been a chasm between that and the competition regarding those basics.
To be honest, I was obsessing over cars and it was taking me away from my work. I thought if I went nuts just this once I could destroy the car shopping bug. And frankly it didn't work. You know what did? Traveling to Europe and Japan where you don't need a car. I find myself loving these train systems and the fact I'm getting in an extra 8k or more steps a day because of this method of getting around, it's completely changed my perspective on personal transportation.
@@jimmymcgill5572 90% of the time there's not a massive amount of difference acceleration wise for most daily driving applications (unless you're launching all the time which I'm not). When you do really want to step on it though, the RS does have the edge both performance and handling wise.
So, I have had my RS e-tron for 11 months now, clocked up 8300 enjoyable miles. Lucky enough to have a home charger backed up by solar panels and a battery and have only used external charges a handful of times.
I agree with a lot of your comments, but not once caught my hand in the door handle…! I am 6ft 3 and 16 stone, car is massively comfortable and rear passengers generally ok provided they are not as big as me. 100% charge - summer 286 miles and winter 245 miles. Performance, the RS button would be a great shout, but even in comfort mode, the thing is a beast and blows any overtaking manoeuvre in a blink of an eye. My on board timer has clocked my RS 0-60 at 2.9 seconds on several occasions and as you said, it can do it over and over again. Pricey car, thank god for tax relief as I bought mine through my business…!
I love the fact it is uncommon, especially the RS and you don’t see many in the road. I have people videoing and taking photos as I drive it…!
Not regretted having mine at any point but not looking forward to the insurance renewal as I have heard they have shot up…..!
Can I ask - why didn’t you get the Taycan instead ? Audi has ridiculous (good and bad) styling - but can’t see me swerving the Porsche to buy an Audi
@@JIMMYHIBBS1 hi. I test drive the Taycan 4s and Turbo s, and then the Audi. My preference, I liked the Audi body more, the build quality was a little better and the ride was just that little bit more comfortable. In saying that, one of my friends has just taken delivery of his next gen Taycan and that is a marked improvement on the original release. Either way, it isn’t a Tesla…..!
I like the idea of a boost button for overtaking. This car needs it
It's the one thing that's oddly missing. My previous S4 had a shortcut button which could be used to cycle through the Drive Select modes but weirdly on both my previous non-RS equipped and now RS GT, it doesn't allow for that selection... To be honest, even in Efficiency mode, this thing is a rocket ship and has no real issues overtaking wise, but button wise they've missed a trick with that one (first world problems though admittedly).
That’s what the accelerator pedal is for.
@@robertide5182 True, but there’s a difference between the Efficiency mode and the other modes on a GT (Efficiency prioritises mainly the front motor) 😉
@@richardchester2148 The software should be smart enough that if you absolutely floor it, it switches to the fastest mode it has. "Soft" or "Eco" modes are fine and well, but when was the last time you floored the accelerator on those? If you put a brick on the gas pedal, that automatically means you mean business and the car should respond accordingly.
@@TestTest12332 As you asked, recently (this evening) on Efficiency mode as it happens. As I say, it's a rocket ship in all modes.
I like the layout of the screens in this car, I hate the screen on a lot of the new cars, the ones you find sitting on top of the dashboard like they were an afterthought. Nice car. I think GT is more about the fact that you can do the long distance without filling tired while keeping up the pace. A lot of GTs also have big engines which means they tend to drink a lot, so it's not travel without fill ups along the way.
Love honest reviews - thank you.
Cheers mate great review
I went on a road trip for 5 days with this car and I agree with everything here. It does have small flaws but overall you just end up loving this car! It's really good and everybody's lookign at it. I met plenty of people that just wanted to talk about the car.
Great review Rory. The main point I find flawed with most reviews is the point of comparison and for the RS GT, you are one of the first who is spot on with the ICE equivalent comparison, which is the RS7 (S7 for the GT). Not a model 3, an MG4, a Dacia Sandero, a 320d, a Hilux., a 4.0 twin turbo 600bhp gas guzzling V8. I'd love to see a diesel Hilux gap a Senna or do 0-62 in less than 3 seconds, forgive me if I don't hold my breath whilst waiting...
Can't say I've had the door handle issue you have, that's definitely a 'you' thing. I also suspect with EV tech, most are thinking that the car should be a tech fest like Tesla but I'm happy with the tech in the Audi; basic, doesn't go wrong, focus is on the driving. The phone storage thing is an inconvenience, then again I normally put mine in my pocket so I'm not tempted to handle it whilst driving and wireless Android works really well. The first world problem I have is the lack of steering wheel drive select button but after 18 months, pressing the button on the centre console without looking is 2nd nature. In 'comfort' like 'dynamic' you get full beans acceleration anyway, only in efficiency with the front motor deactivated are you somewhat limited for overtakes.
Audi press really let you down as they should have given you an Audi charge card like all customers get. Ultra rapid charging is 30p / kWh at Ionity, c.40p/kWh at Fastned / Shell and others. If you do charge at a public charger at 69p+ / kWh it does make these comparatively as expensive as ICE to refuel however I can get the same number of miles in 2 public charging sessions of my RS GT as I did in one tank of fuel in an RS7 and the cost is about £35-45 in it as opposed to £120+ in the RS7. And there's next to no maintenance / servicing costs with the EV.
As for GT capability, easily done a trip from the North East of England to Paul Ricard Circuit and back in the RS GT; yes I had 9 charging stops, probably only 2 more than I would have stopped anyway (long gone are the days of me doing 500+ mile non-stop trips, the human element precludes that now!) and added about 60 minutes onto the journey time in an ICE car. Only had to queue for a charger once, ironically in the UK! Had one range anxiety moment in 18 months of driving. Range itself, up to 310 miles in summer, closer to 180-200 in the winter sub 5 degree temperatures.
The boot could be bigger for sure, tyres are an issue because of the weight of the car on them. Most who 'own' these cars or RS6/7 / M5/6 / GT63S lease and if you are fortunate enough to be a company car owner or better still, the owner of the company, the EV equivalent is an absolute no brainer.
What I like the most about it is that for an electric car it does not look hideous which most electric cars certainly do!
Bro, I must admit it was theeee best review, all points which you mentioned are practical for everyone, SUPERLIKE my friend, great job !
More of these long-termers, please 🙏🏾
You can press the Drive Select button repeatedly to cycle through the drive modes. No need to touch the screen.
Such a positive, honest and professional review. I've seen half a million car reviews but none like this. Watched right through it. Well done, you deserve to be proud of yourself for this.
🙏🏾
Its sure looks good. I saw one in a cherry red colour. If i weren't at work at the time, i'd have lingered a while longer to admire it.
My god, £60 to fill the battery for up to 218 miles. That'd be £25 for my Dacia Sandero diesel. For £60 of diesel I could get just over 500 miles! Madness.
yeah but you drive a Sandero 🤣🤣, i fill my GT at home for a tenner - with all the home savings then the road trip costs are irrelevant as it all balances out. for £60 spent at home i can do 1500 miles
@@thelifeofbatteries2603 Can't be UK electricity prices, 1500 miles, not a chance. A car is a car to me, Sandero or otherwise I couldn't give a fudge. The upside is a Sandero is a damn sight cheaper to buy and run 😎
@@thelifeofbatteries2603 most of these cars are leased.
Leasing is for people with low salaries and idiots.
I buy cars for cash, Last expensive car I bought for cash was a 911 in 2002 for 55K.
Since then have never spent that much on a car again.
You can’t ever use the capability plus the difference is just not worth it.
That’s Ferrari cost per mile territory 😮
I like the fact that they didnt go overboard with tech, a good sound system is all the tech i need
Love your videos ❤
Bro your revwing style with driving is a gamechanger for your changer belive me 🎉🎉❤❤
Love the review sir!
Have owned a 22 Prem (just below RS) for 22k miles from new. It’s my daily driver. I’m 6’5” and all legs, but find it comfortable. Getting in-out of such a low car can be tricky.
The car is solid, but it has had some major recalls and failures (heater recall, brakes repairs {no recall}. There is no over-the -air software update I think to support the dealership model. That force us back to dealership for software which is crazy, but I get it.
This review some what matches my is real life experiences. It frank and honest,but I think he nip-pic on stuff that just doesn’t matter.
*Never had issue with door handle pitching me, I agree not good if it happens.
*True there is no good spot to put phone. I put my IP+ on the floor or on passenger seat.
* the phone charger in the compartment is crappy. Over heats like other car due to lack of ventilation. IP+ in case is too large and not worth hassle. I use a cable plugged into back seat.
* tires are pricey but you can find reasonable options. *deprecation/loss of value hit is real and bad. Cost of doing business to a degree. I wished I had leased, water up the bridge at this point. *range is better than Audi advertise which is better than not getting what was advertised. * tech is basic, but not horrible. The MMI system could use some improvements. You have to repeatedly reset or acknowledge app updates.
I love the car, but she ain’t perfect. Would still take it over any Telsa model.
I would still chose GT over Taycan because of external profile and internal layout (lack of buttons).
Filming with a polfilter ~ even better video quality! Love watching the autotrader stuff!
I’ve seen this car quite a few times on the road here in Germany and every time I do, I stop and stare. It’s a gorgeous design, unfortunate held back a bit by its aging tech and the insane price.
Great video Rory. One comment - I use my front trunk in my Audi for my cables and car tools or other stuff i need to maintain the car. So the back trunk in empty for other stuff 😊
That does make the most sense lol
Great video Rory.
Great review!
Rory you didn't mention in any detail about the infrastructure of charging points..were all your visits straight in and charge or did you ever have to wait..plus was every charger you went to working..great video from you as always 👍
Great review, as always from Rory...
brilliant commentary and great car
Good job bro thanks so much
I have a RS GT and love it. Makes me smile every time i drive it. It's such a solid motor, not perfect from faults, Spoiler failures and heater matrix issues, but covered under warranty. Driving it is like being on a bullet train. 0 - license gone in 2 seconds..
One way to avoid the handpinching doorhandle is to rif it out.
Okay, jokes aside. If you open it with the left hand you automatically look over your shoulder, which also avoids collisions with pedestrians and people on bicycles. This is something people teach more and more, after making this a routine it is quite helpful ")
Thank you for this video!^^ I like your style of moderating and the car is so cool as well:D
Isn't this what the wing mirror's for?
thanks bro, pretty timely and informative, the length of time sitting waiting on recharge however . . . i dunno
Great review. Overall, excellent car.
You are a very good presenter. Just thought I'd tell you that, because it's nice to be nice.
Thank you
Great review, seems a very versatile car
Very nice review!
Beautiful car. As more used ones make it on the market, I totally see this being my future car. Hopefully near-future car :)
I be honest,I see it in tunel from my truck and I did not know,what make is it and what car is that but I love it from first glance. I wouldn't buy new as no way to afford it but bit used one I would luck forward. I got know thos model by registration plate, and I was shockingly happy to see it and happy to know,what it was up front o me ;) If I ever have chance to have itI will go for it. Thanks for review,really it was pleasure to watch it. Thanks.
Man like Rors! God damn that's a good car review :)
This is my ideal spec for an e-Tros GT. Black over red is the perfect setup for any luxury stealth missile
These have depreciated 50% in a year; you can pick one up for half MSRP a year old and 3k miles on it
It will half in value in another 12 months too… 👍🏻
Does it have a "*" button on a steering wheel? My A4 has it and you can choose a function for that key by yourself. I am using it for drive select.
Appreciate a good review, as always. My only only criticism would be about the gushing praise for the car's 'excellent reliability', any modern car at that price only 6 months old should by showing no sign of issues.....in my most humble opinion.
Should….. but you’d be very surprised. Hence the praise where it’s due.
Rory Reid, excellent review. You are an amazingly natural presenter, which is, very difficult to pull off… you either have it or you don’t 😊. For me you’re a top mainstream motor journalist like Mat Watson carwow, then slightly smaller channels than you, like Chris Harris collecting cars, Jamie Sonuga officially gassed, and much smaller channels like Ginny Buckley from electrifying. Credit where it’s due 👍, well done mate, just subscribed
It's a top-5 car for me - graceful yet dominant. 8:34 - Although no RS button in the wheel, does it not have the asterisk button on the wheel which one can assign to Drive Select?
You are the best reviewer on TH-cam, so well done. I got an E-Tron, and I can't get more than 200 miles from a full charge, but it not very often I need more in a signal journey. but it is a great car and so comfortable. I love to have a GT but not in my price range
Wish audi would have stock a V8 engine in it. It would have sell like hot cakes because it’s still the best looking audi to date .
It already sells more than any of Audi’s V8s. Very few people buy V8s any more.
11:25 you can get a taycan with the same mechanical cap or “door” for the charging port. If you get the motorised one you loose the fender opening
This is an amazingly beautiful automobile
Nice review.
I got me a storm trooper for Christmas, and it's nice, but not as comfortable as the A8L it replaced. I love the instant power
The problem with this and it’s sister the Tycan is that the interior is too dam small for the size of the car. If your 6’ and position the seat to be in a comfortable position, no one can sit behind you. It becomes a 3 person sedan. And the rear is so tight to begin with. A Panamerica is huge inside as a comparison.
Saw one on the street afew weeks back in the same colour, looks amazing but after this good review I wouldn´t by it.
to bypass the drivemode when overtaking, doesn't it have an extra "button" that you press when you push the accelerator a bit more? other Audis that I drove have that, despite the mode you're in, if you go all in on the gas pedal you get all the power
Good review
Will say, that the front boot is great for additional stuff in my Tesla and charging cables. If I have a trunk full of luggage and the cables is underneath the floor, it's not really practical
Nice driving shots from Bedford 🙂
Surprised you didn't mention easy access to the "raise suspension" function to avoid scrapping the chin. I miss this from my old S6
9:50 PPF is the way to go with these piano black interiors! 👌 keeps it in mint condition!
Thanks!
Love the shirt
Stunning car!
Great looking car though if i were in the market for an EV I'd either gor for a for one of Tesla's offering, or something from Nio - taking advantage of their battery swapping tech.
Luv the sweater! Or sweh-ah, there we go! Luv from over the pond! 🍻 🤜🏿💥🤛🏿
I remember just 2 years ago, all the level 2 chargers around me were free, but now you’re paying 2-4 dollars an hour to use them. Depending on the charge rate, they’re more expensive than putting fuel in a reasonably efficient ICE vehicle.
nice but my 2023 S3 has the exact dashboard, cockpit and interface with the exception that it's also got the traditional wireless charging tray much more accessible under the centre console without the faffing around here. It makes the S3 great value, but for double the price you should be getting a completely bespoke and unique interior in the E-tron GT, not the entry level performance hatchback interior
Rory. Great long term review. £120,000 Insane! Just not for everyone...any one? Certainly better than the jelly mould Porsche it is based on. As for the Tesla.... not in the same league. Just buy a 208e and bank the rest for a rainy day.
That’s fine. Audi can have their 20,000 hand crafted “luxury” EV sales, the rest of us will enjoy our Tesla Model 3s that go further, are just as fast, more efficient and 1/3 the price.
@laurencejenner1127 completely agree amd the tech is still MUCH better in the Tesla. Drive a Model X btw.
Afternoon mate
Beautiful car ❤
How does it compare to NIO ET5T?
Buying this car new is reserved for companies which can enjoy tax benefits from it. I love the car but would only buy second-hand. However, Audi, like most manufacturers, seems obsessed with black interiors. ( I've found 95%+ cars on resale have black interiors). As cars with black interiors can quickly get hot in summer ( or in warmer climates ) and as EV batteries punish you for using the A/C, the range is going to be adversely affected when it's on. So why no light interiors? Great video BTW.
How many kilometers did you put on this etron while you had it for 6 months?
Look at the 2nd hand values and the question is easily answered.
“Price to fill the battery” is irrelevant. It depends on the size of the battery. Just like comparing fuel tank sizes on ICE cars. The important thing is efficiency and hence price per mile.
