You're an absolute pro, Tom. Thanks for ALL the great content. I always look forward to your reviews!

I've been on the sideline ever since Audi introduced the double stack center screens in 2018. During my test drive of an Audi S6, I couldn't take my eyes off the finger print magnet center console. I am glad Audi listened and now returning back to the more traditional one screen operation on some models.

Tom: This review looks really great on a 4K TV. Me: OMG, Tom’s right. This DOES look awesome in 4K.

Another fantastic video, Tom! Thank you for all of the time and work you put into these.

I just love how smooth and simple your videos always looked!!! I can watch them all day. Especially when I’m trying to relax.

I don't know why this stood out to me, but the speed of how quickly the sweep-leg-to-open-trunk is the best I've seen. THATS how it should work. Other systems really do feel like they take forever to register and open. Oh, and your videos DO look stunning on large 4k TVs. Thanks Tom!

Outstanding b roll footage as usual, Tom. Thanks Mr. Campbell for being such a good sport about being on camera. Your contributions to the content are appreciated.

As always, impressive review with gorgeous cinematography; the quality & entertainment factor of your informative content is among the best on KZfaq. Great stuff. Keep it going, Tom.

We appreciate you too, Tom. I watch a lot of these on KZfaq and it's nice to have someone that just lays out facts in a calm and informative manner. We don't always have to shout about things, other KZfaqrs.

Great video Tom, love these! I know 2 people with this now and its stunning in the flesh! My neighbour recently switched out a 2018 RS6 for one and my pal has ordered one and its coming in April (replacing his 2019 E-tron, the SUV looking one)

The RS trim is stylish, and it’s platform is a technological feat! Thank you for sharing, Tom (and Martin!). Another thoughtful, data driven, and visually stunning review.

One of your best reviews yet. Really thorough.

As someone getting one of these, I've watched a bunch of these reviews. Yours is the best of the lot.

Another great video and review. Thanks Tom. I saw one of these as I waiting to pick up my new A4 Allroad. Quite a striking car: low, wide, powerful even standing still. Maybe electrics are in my future…

Nice review Tom. I’m happy you got some decent weather for a change.

Thank you Tom and Martin! These do look great on a 4K tv (that's what I use for my computer "monitor").

Another awesome review! I have been watching Tom's reviews for years and even though he touches on any of the same features, the reviews are always fresh engaging and entertaining. So kudos! But geez, a car that costs $161,000 - I shudder to think what it would cost here in Australia, probably more than $200,000 - crazy! Are there not excellent electric cars out there that are possibly within the reach of mere mortals without winning the lottery? And also geez - $161,000 but no heated steering wheel and no seat back pockets - really?

Another great review. I do look forward to you getting a Lucid Air to review. The GT is entering production now with other more affordable models to follow. I rolled the dice and placed an order for an Air GT. Sure, only 800hp, but we all need to cut corners where we can.

Great review, Tom. That blue color is really cool too.

What a beautiful car, though, I couldn't help thinking how cool a two-door model would look! I'm hoping by the time I'm ready for an EV, the advanced technology found in cars like this will filter down to less expensive models. Thanks, Tom (& Martin), for another quality review.

Tom put his whole Voelkussy into this video and it shows!

As I have said, a million times a superior production always with excellent video quality I just don’t understand why you don’t have double the subscribers it makes no sense! Evan Katz From Austin, TX Soon to be a New Yorker again!

"really angry vacuum cleaner" why did my brain IMMEDIATELY go to the vacuum from the brave little toaster?

Watch out for dealer markups. Audi of Las Vegas by me wanted $186k for a new Audi E-Tron GT Prestige….not even the god damn RS model…..that was $60k+ over MSRP

This and the Taycan are a bit out of my price range...I gotta wait for the Jetta version ;-)

i was considering the purchse of RS Etron GT but still a bit in doubt but after watching this video review i became completely convinced. the review is very insightful and honest

Great video! Thanks! Wow, that car is a looker that's for sure

Another great review! And the excellent B-roll does not go unnoticed. 👍

Must be just pure conciendence, but the Buzz Lightyear trailer played as the ad. Here's to Infinity and Beyond in the E-Tron.

Your review looked great on my tv.

Is public charging expensive vs gasoline? or just vs home charging? This is a beautiful machine, but my Model 3, ordered in August, won't be with me until May-June... and - great video!

Hi Tom! Would be cool to see a review of the Model Y.

Thanks, Tom! What a great car. I do not understand a lack of heat for steering wheel. FYI, stations are rated in kW, not kWh. I suspect a 350 kW station may have charged the Audi faster than the 150 kW one you used (depends on charge curve, of course) due to more amperage available. Also, I suspect if you can afford this car, charging costs are a minor concern.

i always look forward to these videos

I really like the normal door handles and physical climate controls on the (RS) E-Tron GT. If I had the funds, I'd have one! :D I checked the pricing here in Australia, and was shocked to find out it's nearly the same price! (converting US price to AUD).

Great review If and it is a big if i would have the money i would go for the taycan it almost looks like the concept and i really like it in white!

I like the sound it makes.

I've never understood the affinity for loud car engines and engine roar; I'm a big fan of the silent (or at least quieter) era of engines coming in. The price range is a whole other story though! haha

Hey, Tom. Maybe you can consider a side gig as a 4K TV salesman. Lol. Just kidding. Great review as usual and it does look good on my 4K TV.

Another classy upload!

I'm still enjoying the "personal Space Mountain" and "angry vacuum cleaner" descriptors. I think this vehicle makes sense, as you point out, as an alternative to the Taycan. Personally, I prefer the Audi styling, particularly at the front end. BTW, while we're on the subject of GT's, please test the BMW I4. That's the one that's got my eye of late as I consider an alternative to the Tesla Y. As always, enjoyed your review. Thanks Tom.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. Tom doesn't disappoint. Thank you sir

I really only watch these for the Martin Campbell cameos ;-) But kudos for another great video review! IMHO, the Audio e-Tron aggressive styling beats out the Porsche's because of the lack of bug-eyed headlights.

Great Road Test Review....

Great revfiew Tom, well done sir. I shake my head and look at the price .. $161k?! I see the drugs are complimentary at Audi HQ .. I digress. I will add that the entry level Taycan ($85k) is cheaper than the entry level E-tron GT ($102k), and may suit alot of buyers. When comparing RS E-Tron GT with base Taycan, the price difference is even more eyebrow raising, around double the price of a base model Taycan for the RS E-Tron GT. The Taycan does the 0 - 60 dash in 5.4, plenty fast fro most folks. The Taycan Cross Turismo is also available for about a $10k premium over the base Taycan, offering a touch more interior space. I would go the Taycan all day.

18:29 Absolutely! One of my favourite channels

Are you ready for any EV, Tom? Brilliant review

Burger King is quite popular in Deutschland I’ve heard… Gorgeous Audi! ? How many takes to have the Audi show on the front brake calliper during your brake test? 👍🏻👏🏻

this is an impressive camera trick you do not have a brother same guy

Great car and great video. I would buy one in a heartbeat. Say hi to your evil twin. I always enjoy his contributions.

Thank Tom and Martin.

Great video!

Review is as close to riding in one of these I'll get. Bet Kia's only a couple years away from a response. As always, that was fun & thanks Shirley (oops)...

Great review, Tom! But... tough to give up the promise of full self driving in the Tesla. So, probably no Taycan or E-Tron for me.

Great Review Tom. This or the Taycan? Hmmm. I wish this was a liftback

Yeh right, in the recent storm in West Virginia all the electric cars were towed ,and the drivers had to get into other cars and trucks to stay warm, electric cars are good for the south warm areas ,until there are mobile charge stations there is no room for them unless you drive only in one city area

What is up with all the people who comment on the price of this car? It's a bloody supercar! They are expensive! And do you know WHY Audi price their cars like they do? Because people buy them! Nobody complains about the price of a Porsche 911 or Ferrari but as soon as it's an EV then the "too expensive" whining starts. Sheesh. 🙄

jealous! Can't wait for my loaner...

Good to know for the 3% of Americans that can afford this car.

Make sure you have an additional normal regular gas powered car as a secondary backup.

This is THE best E-Tron GT review.

Just give me a 39k Chevy Bolt.....has a nice interior, exterior and has 240mi of range..... Or a used 2017 model for 17k and the same interior and range.......there's no need for shit to be so expensive and certainly no need for EVs to so powerful

Even though I love the e-tron GT, almost every weekend I go to the busiest Costco in my state which has gas for 20 cents to 30 cents lower than everywhere else and even with those massive lines I can literally be out in about ten minutes. I have a large house with a large driveway, lots of garages and I have every inch of wall space full, I have no idea where I would put a stupid charger for one car much less three.

That day you realize you make $200K and can't afford a bloody Audi....

Wow! The perfect choice for a prime minister looking to flee a conflict. Or a soccer mom on her way to pick up the kids when time is tight. I have no need to generate so many g-forces but I sure can appreciate the beauty and engineering. Your production-values are second to none, Tom. Well done!

Tom, who would win in a fight, you or Steve Hammes?

I am still apprehensive Will it work in Calgary when it is -30 celcius for 4 weeks?

whats a space mountain?

They just don’t get it. Over $100K for a BEV is exactly NOT what will convert ICE owners to BEV’s. It’s all fun and nice driving an evaluation vehicle.

They also look terrific using full screen on my 21" iMac! (Even better on my wife's 24" iMac). Beee-u-tee-full car.

Beautiful car, but painfully expensive. 😭

Thanks!

I can afford the tractor at 6:45. Please review that next!

I’m an Audi fan, and owner, but the pricing on this just makes it too far out of the realm for something I’d consider. And as much as they offer good performance and efficiency, at $161k, prospective buyers would do well looking at Lucid, where they’d get both more power and range in what is effectively a bespoke sedan. For me, the Rivian R1S is on my list and it can provide similar if not better performance and range, with more utility, at half the price. Great video Tom, as usual.

Tom a year on what about Audi e-tron GT as a used EV , you're absolutely right it does look amazing on a 4K TV

How much did it cost to fill when it was already half full?

Tom Voelk - he’s 4K worthy.

an easily accessible start/stop switch, that allows passengers to shut the car down in case the driver is incapacitated, is a safety feature that every car should have

Keep it! For that money range should be much higher! An Ioniq 5 can reach 300.

While I appreciate you mentioning the tax credits Tom, I imagine that won’t be affecting the buying decisions of this car’s target clientele. By the way, BEAUTIFUL pacific NW scenery in this review! You’re making this East Coaster drool.

Always ❤️ seeing Evil Twin

Kinda surprised that Audi, maker of the hatchback A7, doesn't offer this with a hatch. Then again this is based on the Taycan sedan. I'd choose the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo.

I like this much better than the Porsche version.

It's 2022, I'm so glad to see SOMEONE is finally bringing "dorky" back into the American vernacular...

Nice but the Lucid Air sounds and looks better to me

2 problems here: 1) I have sworn off buying a 4-wheel European vehicle ever again 2) I haven't won the lottery twice yet (not once either)

Etron GT comes with free unlimited charging on Electrify America for 3 years. J1 Brothers are the fastest charging EVs in the market

It's a beautiful car, unfortunately it is way too expensive.

4k is amazing~~

It's dark in that back seat

You Have Problems, Not Issues Somewhere, at some point over the recent past, someone decided that it was no longer acceptable for a person to say what he or she means; it was no longer acceptable to speak in precise, direct words. And what’s worse, someone, somewhere decided that we should all be offended when someone calls a problem a problem. Everything has to be translated into some sort of euphemism. I don’t really know why it started, but can we please stop referring to every problem as an issue? An employee no longer has a problem keeping up with production; he has an issue. A child no longer has a problem behaving in class; she has an issue. A married couple in therapy no longer has problems in their marriage; they have issues. Even bad weather now causes performance issues on the football field and traffic issues on the road; and a basketball player with a sprained ankle has an ankle issue. I’m not sure what’s so offensive about discussing traffic problems, health problems, or a sloppy football game. Is it just me? The problem-that is, what’s wrong-with substituting issue for problem is that those two words are not synonymous-and no amount of being politically correct, disingenuous, or even condescending-yes, it can be condescending-will make it so. An issue is a topic, such as The candidates will discuss the issues at the debate. That means that the candidates will discuss the different topics, or subject areas, involved in running our country. A problem is something negative. A problem is something that needs to be solved. A problem is something that we try to overcome. A problem is something that we don’t want. There, I’ve said it. And it feels great. An issue is not a problem, but I’ll tell you what is a problem: the grammatically incorrect trend of telling someone that he has an issue when what you really mean is that he has a problem. Call it what it is, and it’ll be easier to solve.

at that price range, most buyers need fastest 0-60 acceleration. If you don't need fast acceleration, there are many choices.

The power and speed comes in handy when you are being chased by a UFO. Or when you need to go to the bathroom in a hurry.

We are the champions!!!

I like this, but the range for a road trip tho...

Tom Voelk: "2022 Audi RS e-tron GT Is A Powerful Reason To Switch To An Electric Vehicle." Me: "Nope (done in the voice of the Engineer from Team Fortress 2) !"

Yeah right….when they get the charging infrastructure sorted , increase the range and drop the price I might be able to swap

Great video, but 9 commercials? Ugh.

Carbon ceramic rotors seem wasted on a 5,000 pound car that will never see a race track, or not do more than a few laps without pitting for a charge. Ceramics make just as little sense on the street, since iron rotors last forever on EVs. The eTron range is still an issue for me. My BMW i4 e40 gets over 200 miles of range in winter - keeping the battery between 20-80%. That lets us do the once a week 150 mile round trip commute or 140 mile round trip to Boston without charging and with zero range anxiety while keeping the battery in the sweet spot for longevity.

I understand the dynamics of car companies being forced to start with super high end evs to compensate for the initial up front startup expenses of creating electric (not gas) cars. But it's a dam shame they couldn't somehow figure out how to tip their toes into the other, shallow, end of the pool and pump out thousands of super cheap evs for the masses... In terms of saving the planet, a few hundred rich people driving electric cars isn't even a drop in the bucket. There is so much 'less' to an electric car, they should cost way less than a gas engine. Imagine tens of millions of Americans driving around in $20,000 evs.. That would actually help clean up our air...
