How fast is Ken Block’s all-electric Audi RS e-tron GT? Speed tests for science!
Рет қаралды 892,186
2 жыл бұрынWe already know the Audi RS e-tron GT is the fastest RS badged production car on earth, but how fast is that?? Lets throw on our scumbag lab-coats (really really nice Hoonigan jackets) and run a few tests! The e-tron GT producing 637 horsepower and 612 torque INSTANTLY, so I think we should find out how it does from 0-60mph, 0-100mph-0, AND 0-33mph in REVERSE (for science). What's the fun in doing all this testing alone though? This time around I get the whole production crew involved to see how they feel about EV power. More science, more better..? Enjoy episode 2 of 6 dedicated to my Audi RS e-tron GT daily driver project!

My experience with digital speedometers is that they tend to lag. By the time it shows 60 MPH you are actually going faster. It could be (should be) that Audi took the violent acceleration into account when designing the electronics, and used a high sample rate. The bottom line is that a stop watch, combined with the vehicle's speedometer, are poor tools to measure acceleration with such a powerful vehicle.
@covfefe69 2 жыл бұрын
That’s a great point. It’s interesting because a lot of the time Audi undersell their car’s 0-60 time for no apparent reason. Consistently like .3 quicker than advertised when actually tested. Would’ve loved to see proper telemetry on this!

I went with the Plaid even though I think the RS eTron GT is my favorite looking EV - the Plaid is just so much more intense over a whole second faster 0-60 with 2.1 - 2.3 and now with the track mode from software update you can really dial in the handling dynamics of the car allowing some to put more power to the back and dial down computer correction so you can drift and smack down some donuts - I am still a huge Audi fan and keeping my 2021 TTRS for quite a while - gotta keep the sound and that light weight nimble feeling and it isn’t slow doing around 3.5/3.6 0-60
