I am thankful for Ginny and the Electrifying channel. I was watching another channel that has been around for longer, on the same car. I just couldn't finish their video, thinking and hoping Electrifying has covered this car already. I feel much better informed and actually enjoyed the video.
You can’t help but think Tesla’s been doing it longer, their chassis are engineered from scratch to accommodate batteries vs an engine. If you’re in the market for full electric, just go with them... no?
Tactical Green, or should that be Camouflage Green? In response to your question, in a rural area I'd find it hard to imagine a worse colour. Well, you did ask!
Brilliant review Ginny. Audi vets my vote over the Porsche.Nice to see that someone in Audi Land remembered that colour from the Austin Allegro catalogue! ☺☺
You used a particular word for the interior.....safe.....I would take this in another context to the one I think you were using. We have just traded in a Tesla Model 3 after 7 months for the Audi RS e-tron GT Vorsprung. We looked at all the other comparable manufacturers even down to the KIA but when we walked into the showroom and saw the Audi in black we both fell for it. Back to the word safe....we found the one screen operation of the Tesla very dangerous. A report has come to the conclusion that it is more dangerous than using a mobile phone whilst driving, and drink driving. This is the conclusion that we came to which is why maybe so many seem to be written off. So safe is wonderful for us. The car is amazing. The interior has far superior quality materials used whereas the Tesla was showing signs of wear already and we are very careful in our cars and had only done 3500 miles. We now have heads up display and 360degree view as well as fantastic breaks. It is our dream car in all ways.
My old dad was not in the slightest bit superstitious and he drove for probably sixty years or more. In that time he was involved in two major accidents and both vehicles were green so after the last one he wouldn't touch a green car with a barge pole and never had another accident for his remaining thirty odd years of motoring. So in our family we still don't have green cars, just can't do it. Which is a shame as I really like that colour. In my own experience now over forty years, some of which driving buses, I would not have a "road colour" car because they disappear in certain lights. Nice bright colours for me, just not green! 😂
Great video Ginny. Hoping to make the GT part of my present and future soon. Encouraging to see the trajectory of EVs if this is what they’re capable of. Maybe a bit more range, quicker charging times? Well, in time the tech will be there with LFP batteries and already Audi and Porsche can charge faster than most UK chargers are capable of. The progress is astonishing (coming from a petrolhead with a B9 S4). The future is looking a bit brighter.
Love it, esp in tactical green... thats the colour I've ordered, going to get to drive it next week as the first one has arrived in New Zealand :). NOT a fan of those GB lime green number plates though - what the heck is that about!
It will be interesting when VW comes out with the ID version (ID.5?) of this car, perhaps VW can get it to the high end of an affordable price in that trim. I can't wait to see VW's Lamborghini and Bentley versions!
Nicer looking than the Taycan in my opinion but maybe the Porsche badge has more cachet? Not that I am going to spend that kind of money on a car and they are both ridiculously fast for UK roads (speed limits round here more suitable for the first EV I saw as a child - a milk float). Lovely review as usual.
The Tesla range figures are make believe. Edmund's tested all the cars available in the USA market and the Porsche Taycan 4S exceeded the range of the Tesla Model S despite the Tesla claiming a 130 mile advantage. This car is based on the Porsche so the real world range will be far closer to the Tesla than the EPA figures suggest. Edmund's tested all the EVs in the real world and Tesla and Polestar were found to exaggerate their range figures whereas Porsche and Audi and Ford and Hyundai and Kia and Chevrolet and Nissan exceeded their stated range figures. Such arrogance to compare the EPA figures with a tester doing a full test using the heater and doing launches. It is laughable that you think that Tesla has a 10 year technology advantage when their figures are bogus.
The colour of diarrhea is not a colour that divides opnion - it's just a bad colour. Nice looking car though. Better than Tesla. However I suspect the real world piddly range combined with high price will make this an overall fail. A headturning fail...but fail.
Beautiful looking car, will never be able to afford one unfortunately, awful colour, I remember changing my first child’s nappies had contents similar colour to that....
Perhaps this isn't the EV for you. EV tech is still new and more expensive to produce but will become more economical vs gasoline during this decade. With sarcasm like that it tells me you don't really understand stages of adoption in regards to technology.
Sooo, the AI takes over the regen, decides when it should use different levels, but still can't get a slippery car like that to get above 3.5miles/kW... I'll take the Merc EQS instead for continent crushing cruises, thanks. It is a nice-looking car, for sure, and I don't even mind it in Austin Allegro Green - it works well with the blacked-out details & badging. However, that blank switch between hazards and TC - what option hasn't been fitted to this press demonstrator? Maybe the RS e-tron GT Avant will change my mind...? 😁
Where are all these 350kW chargers you mention? One look at zap-map will show the inaccuracy of that statement. Not to mention that those that do exist are almost exclusively in the south of England. How does that help make an electric GT car easy to use for its intended purpose? This Audi will not be that great for trip up around the NC500 or for weekend in Snowdonia, where its undoubted charging prowess is rendered useless by poor infrastructure.
I’m fed up of this channel. How many chargers can this average ev charge at at that speed. Ginny, I like your RS too but you need to regain balance and realise the Etron falls short on every metric. I’d be too embarrassed to charge my Etron on a crap motorway charger next to the 14 super chargers.same goes fir the Taycant as well. Get real, it’s average at best Ginny.
Hate the colour! The efficiency looks poor to me 2. Something miles per kilowatt. My lowly ioniq never drops that low even in the depths of winter! I am really surprised given the slippery shape! The charging bag looks huge in the boot!
@@jenny80myles Well from a performance point of view the Tesla S Plaid kicks it into touch, from a self driving point of view the same again and from a hardware and software point of view including over the air updates, same; and then the range on the Taycan is only 192 EPA miles, so no good. The only thing that the Porsche has is a quicker turn around from rapid standing starts and arguably more comfort. Therefore "most sophisticated" you would have to apply as a style statement rather than technical achievement, in my opinion.
Well said. Porsche have wowed us with a brilliantly driving car (when have they ever not), and a beautifully built interior, and have put massive batteries and motors to blind us from the simple fact..... It is not an efficient electric vehicle, so may be regarded as a sophisticated car with sophisticated tech. But it's not a 'sophisticated ev'. Tesla's still kick it out of the park for battery and motor tech.
@@ajl12no before you spout nonsense go and check out Edmunds, they tested all the EVs on the market and they found the Taycan 4S went further than the Tesla model S despite the Tesla claiming a fake 123 mile range advantage. It laughable you think Tesla has some magical technology that allows them to go far further with the same size battery. Edmund's is not the only publication that found that the Porsche exceeded their stated range whilst the Tesla underperformed their stated range. The range advantage you cited is fake and everyone knows it. Even the acceleration of the upcoming Tesla model S is BS. It says in the fine print that the Tesla only achieves the quoted figures with one foot of rollout which is dishonest. It can't really do 0 to 60 under 2 seconds as claimed unless you allow a foot of rollout.
Another cracking video guys! Could watch Ginny present a cheese sandwich and still be interested 🙂
Don't give her ideas. The catering budget is high enough already

The e-tron GT is a ground-up electric car too. Engineered by Porsche....
@@Electrifyingcom I stand corrected.
The car and the colour are georgous
Still unsure about that colour, but the design is worthy of that review. Brilliant

British Leyland 80s green.

7:26 what's a game charger? 🤣🤣🤣 Are you going to do video on the 600 mile road trip?
That's one for Bjørn...... With real information.

Nice👍 didn't realize it did battery conditioning when charging.
Yeah brilliant colour

This green is so awesome
My fav ev right now
Given that étron is French for turd, that colour is a bit too close to brown for me. I mean... too much liquorice or a Sag Aloo and you're there.
Love it, esp in tactical green... thats the colour I've ordered, going to get to drive it next week as the first one has arrived in New Zealand :). NOT a fan of those GB lime green number plates though - what the heck is that about!
Showing off that you have an environmentally friendly car
@@Triod_999 yeah but the green they chose is hideous
Nice car naff colour. It looks okay when it’s clean and new but after a couple of years motoring I would hate it. Great review, thanks. 👏👏👏
It will be interesting when VW comes out with the ID version (ID.5?) of this car, perhaps VW can get it to the high end of an affordable price in that trim. I can't wait to see VW's Lamborghini and Bentley versions!
Different platform?
I doubt that VW will build a car using this premium platform. VW is not exactly a premium brand. I think the ID.5 is a coupe version of the ID.4
ID5 will be the 'coupe' version of the ID4. Same car, different roof and back end.
Porsche Taycan = Audi E-tron GT. They ride side by side to take down Tesla.
Nicer looking than the Taycan in my opinion but maybe the Porsche badge has more cachet? Not that I am going to spend that kind of money on a car and they are both ridiculously fast for UK roads (speed limits round here more suitable for the first EV I saw as a child - a milk float). Lovely review as usual.
Tactical Green? More like Cow Pat Green.
200 miles? 10 yrs and they still can’t match what Tesla did with range

Thanks for a great review Ginny! The car colour looks great too...
Here's a question.
Is the 800v charging standard?
800V is how they wire the car, so it is standard. It charges at up to 270kW.
Love the colour, not excited about the range, did you say how much?
Sorry, not going to cancel my Tacyan CT order for an Audi.
The colour of diarrhea is not a colour that divides opnion - it's just a bad colour. Nice looking car though. Better than Tesla.
However I suspect the real world piddly range combined with high price will make this an overall fail. A headturning fail...but fail.
Great review. Great colour at the moment but will it age well
Like it and I agree being a retired chef really like that mushy pea colour 😊🤓👍
such a beautiful car ... this audi is really different
I enjoyed watching the Video 😌. One of my favourite New Electric Cars
Beautiful looking car, will never be able to afford one unfortunately, awful colour, I remember changing my first child’s nappies had contents similar colour to that....
Yet another richman's new EV. Really going well at getting the rest of us into EV's
The new VW IDs are really cheap. £31,000 RRP.
Perhaps this isn't the EV for you. EV tech is still new and more expensive to produce but will become more economical vs gasoline during this decade.

Auto Union is tops in my book

Tactical green? Yuk!
Nice
And the car too
But the colour was it inspired by the inside of a baby’s nappy
Great review, Ginny and the Electrifying team! It’s a good looking car, but it’s no R8; between this and the Taycan it would have to be the Porsche
Colours like a cow pat!
Please don't say anything about cow pat prime minister Modhi become angry 😃
First decent looking Audi.
the color palette of the Audi etron GT is pretty ....yucky!
And, I would still pick up a Taycan instead
Great car. Totally pointless for most people. They're still not listening.
Amazing car 😍😍😍
Love the design except the front…. It’s just too much black plastic….
Most powerful production car that Audi has ever made?? .... R8? 😂

Get real, it’s average at best Ginny.
Every time I see this car it looks like a case of prognathism... Once you see it you can't unsee it...
I love the car, but that colour YUCK. I remember my dog pooing that in my garden when it was poorly.
Tiny boot opening, massive bonnet, horrible colour and mediocre acceleration. I noticed that Audi only compare the 0-60 times with their own cars.
Hahahaha
*theres a big difference between an Audi and Porsche*
Both made by VW
Glad to find your channel and Ginny must have the portrait hidden in the closet, she doesn't age.

What is, In your opinion?
