@Raiti's Rides I always look forward to your team's great work! They're in-depth, honest zonks, and most importantly - ON THROTTLE!!!...🤔 OR WAIT, no, actually the most important thing is the Twinkie analogies 🤣🤣🤣!! How can anyone not love Raiti's Rides🔥🔥🔥
Another sick car Joe! I’ve been hoping you’ll see my comments but this is Golf King if you remember me and you inspired me to start my own channel in my limited free time doing my own style of reviews! Thank you for the inspiration
Hard choice on what's better but nothing is going to beat porsches driving experience electric or gas. Audi does the best lighting in the auto industry. Looks killer
Excellent camera work Lori, especially showing off those functional vents; I’ve never seen anyone take that angle on it before and it was such a nice touch! Joe was on point as always but still funny as always, Thanks for your work both!
One thing worth mentioning is that the vast majority of the braking power actually IS regen braking. It just doesn't allow one-pedal, which frankly should be an option. People can always leave it turned off if they hate it.
🇺🇸 *LIKE the blue exterior paint on this E-Tron GT RS* !! *If money was no object, I would consider this E-Tron* !! *Happy that there are some REAL buttons on the dash* !! *Fantastic job Joe and Lori* !! #RaitisRides 🇺🇸
Joe - Beautiful car! But I wish you could have driven it on a track to see how well it really handles. I get that it has a low center of gravity. But you also have over 5,000 pounds that you have to move through the twisty parts.
I just thought of something interesting, Joe driving different cars on this particular road like it is his personal race track (it is LOL). I can only Imagine what people who live in that neighborhood think, when they constantly hear and see different cars driving on this road as if they just stole a car and running from cops in it.
Awesome fun video Joe!! 3-Zonks and the RS is out .... Price, No ventilated seats, Cheap piano plastic everywhere c'mon. Bonus Zonk - no moonroof shade is a no-go for SoCal.
This one has the suede inserts, ergo no ventilation. The full leather package (which can come in black, red, or brown) will have ventilation and massage functions. The glass roof is a no cost option. You can get it standard without it, and therefore no hot sun issues.
It does come with ventilated seats this one wasn’t speced with them. Also, I live in SoCal and the glass roof has not been an issue, it’s well tinted even without a shade
This compares more closely to the Porsche Taycan GTS or Turbo, Rather than the Turbo S. I like most of Audi’s version of this car, but we chose the Taycan Turbo. We enjoy our e-tron SUV when more utility is needed.
I own a Ford lightning. For me it's not just the initial torque that gets me excited, it's a constant acceleratory torque that comes from an EV. Nothing else compares to the fact that the further you push your foot down on the throttle the more torque you get! And the more torque you get the faster you go! I've only owned my EV for a little under 3 months and there is nothing! Absolutely nothing that compares to this kind of acceleration. I couldn't imagine it in a vehicle that is faster than my own. And I cannot wait till I try this vehicle out myself :-)
I love your channel u review the best cars out of all the RUclipsrs that’s my dream to become a car reviewer on RUclips because I love cars since I was a little kid I used to watch my uncle’s take cars apart like the transmission out put in a new one
I am in the market for a new or slightly used PERFORMANCE SUV or 4 door sedan. I love your videos. I watch the on throttle and if you have that big grin from ear to ear and a laugh, then I know that car is a possibility. When you "on throttle" and no big grin or laugh then I move on!
Most beautiful sedan out right now, EV or otherwise! Love the Taycan but the Audi wins in the aesthetics dept. For those complaining about the price. Yes, it’s pricey but it’s not for everyone, it’s a luxury performance vehicle with a price that matches that positioning. At some point they will have entry level options, for more mass consumption. This is a statement/flagship vehicle, as Audi looks to make its mark in the EV space.
That side fender vent looks like it would allow the tire to sling up pebbles and debris through the vent and all down the side of the car scratching the paint and what-not. I also don't like alcantara steering wheels. The oils from your hands will eventually mat it all down and it won't like good. I don't see why alcantara steering wheels are considered a "luxury" option. They should just be leather so they don't end up looking terrible (at least not nearly as quickly as alcantara will).
Full electric cars nationwide are a novelty our electrical grid isn’t robust enough nor is their tech tools enough yet to make them practical change my mind
Okay honestly, I know that all these automakers are being held at g*n-point and have ZERO say whatsoever when it comes to their infotainment screens being glued on like iPads (I say sarcastically 🙄), buttttt Audi genuinely did a really decent job blending the glued-on-iPad design with the integrated dash design and I’m loving it. Now if only they could find a way to put in their cars that don’t have 6-digit price tags lmao.
For that price, I'd get a RARE used '14 5.2L Audi R8 in manual, and spend the rest on modifications 🙃. But hey, clearly there's a market for ridiculously priced EV's
I prefer this over something like Tesla's version of an electric car. They focus on self driving and automation etc but Audi is doing a "normal" car but just electric.
Say NO to: 1) Cheap glossy piano black plastics 2) Button gear selectors (bring back the gear shifter handle!) 3) Over-reliance on large touchscreens (without an ergonomic counter-balance of using physical buttons). What is it with car manufacturers these days?!?!
@@446gitsu Old does not mean bad. Old design is more reliable. How are you going to use your "modern" car when your touchscreen breaks or your car stops receiving software updates in a few years? It is less of a machine and more of a toy.
@@annitkamr475 this only applies on higher trims, base trims still has buttons. but yea, car makers nowadays were putting priorities to touch screens and stuff.
Those 20 inch Audi wheels look pretty mundane on the RS. Your detailed review confirms my bias acquiring a taycan last year! Audi interior better, Porsche exterior supreme
Let’s be honest here… the Etron and the Taycan are literally on the same platform. We all know the Porsche is higher market, higher price, and is probably the better car dynamically. Not by much because, quite literally, they are THE same car but VW will not undercut the taycan by making the Audi better/ more powerful/ more dynamic. It’s how the VW umbrella works. The Urus has 10 more horsepower than the cayenne turbo GT simply because the Lamborghini is higher market. The urus IS the cayenne though. Same platform, same engine, same chassis all designed by you guessed it….Porsche. There’s a reason they use Porsche’s architecture for everything.
Etron GT is literally a taycan with a modified body kit with muscular aggressive stance profile. Too bad e tron GT isn’t a wagon it would be more usable.. the position of cup holders in this car is disappointing arm will be right below cup holders are placed.
Electric sports cars are cool my only gripe is that, they are always gunna lose value in a way, you can’t tune them. So whoever got the most money is always gunna have the fastest car, kinda kills the appeal at that point. I mean, I guess you lease them, they are probably great lease options just trade up for the newer faster model.
It's still one of those deals where the Tesla Model S gives you way more value for performance. Audi killed it on design without a doubt, but within 2 years that battery degradation will hit around 10-12% and get you barely 200mi of real world range at 100% charge.
This remains my favorite electric car. I can't afford it, but it's gorgeous.
Hand down the most beautiful EV out there, in my opinion. It has been ever since it came out.
I think you may be right!
Don’t forget the Taycan

The best tour of the e-Tron GT ever!
I love It already Joe. I really love the things Audi puts out.
I say Audi and Porsche on my favorite if you're looking for like SUVs and sports cars
Huh
This was hard to read
12:19
Joe, this Audi etron GT is the Apostle to the Performance Luxury EV's.
The front texture is modeled after a golf ball that helps is fly farther making it more aerodynamic
Good call!
I own a 22 RS Etron gt. Absolutely love.
Audi makes one of the most beautiful cars !!
Stunning review Joe 👍
I totally agree with you!

I know those feelings!
Awesome review as always! I love the styling of the E-tron GT way more than the Taycan!
Was hoping for "slim and trim" but I got " really small" on the leds on the mirror caps. Here's hoping for next time! Another great one king.
Joe - Beautiful car! But I wish you could have driven it on a track to see how well it really handles. I get that it has a low center of gravity. But you also have over 5,000 pounds that you have to move through the twisty parts.
Thanks Oliver for the feedback! I will get that together!
Enough power to have some fun driving it
One of
THE best looking cars in the market today.
I am glad that you are digging this one.
Easily one of the best-looking cars out right now.
Finally an EV that I actually like. What a beautiful car.
Tell me about it!
Best looking EV in my opinion! Thanks for sharing. :)
Another great review, thank you!
You are so very welcome!
That color is killer.
I totally agree with you!
I would go with the Audi e-tron GT RS
I love it Joe and Lori and Steve and keep up the good work and I love the video and I love this car look good 👍 💯
Joe, my birthday is coming up......would love one 😃
Not a huge fan of EV’s but this, I would consider. Thanks Joe!
Luxury ev yes, Performance ev no
I love the Audi e-tron GT RS and it’s so nice and luxurious 😍🔥
As a fellow Sicilian you have the best reviews and camera work keep it up. 🚗🇨🇦
Thank you my friend!
Great review, thank you Joe.
My dream car. Can only afford an A3. I can dream😂
I love the car Joe wish I can get one lol just let me know how many Twinkies we can fit in there, baby...🤪
I like this much better than the Taycan. However, I wish they made an Avant version like Porsche has with their GTS Sport Turismo.
They will the a6 will be an etron
I just thought of something interesting, Joe driving different cars on this particular road like it is his personal race track (it is LOL). I can only Imagine what people who live in that neighborhood think, when they constantly hear and see different cars driving on this road as if they just stole a car and running from cops in it.

Joey has the neighborhood cops in his pocket.
❤🏁🚙 Very good! Thank you Joe and Lori! 🤠❤️
I love Audi and porche. I have the Audi q3 2022 as a 16 yt and it is amazing
That is so fantatic!

Joe none of us can afford this car. 150,000$. That’s out of this world. It’s nice to look at but I’ll never be able to afford it
Awesome car. Really fast but ultra efficient at 80+ MPGe.
This is very true!
This compares more closely to the Porsche Taycan GTS or Turbo, Rather than the Turbo S. I like most of Audi’s version of this car, but we chose the Taycan Turbo. We enjoy our e-tron SUV when more utility is needed.
Hear me out…imagine this as a twin turbo V6 hybrid.. Either way this car..😍🤤

@@RaitisRides I seriously cannot wait for you to review the new Mach E Rally!!!!
I'm hoping that it's everything that you and I are both expecting.
Nicely sculpted
Beautiful paint job
But I prefer the taycan
How does the two transmission works
Based solely on styling, Porsche rules the day in my opinion.
They’re the same car
I love your channel u review the best cars out of all the RUclipsrs that’s my dream to become a car reviewer on RUclips because I love cars since I was a little kid I used to watch my uncle’s take cars apart like the transmission out put in a new one

That means so much!
Its a beautiful car and an amazing EV, just a ridiculous price few can afford, throw on dealer markups and fees, its even worse
I know ho you feel!
Audi by far has the best interiors
I think you may be right!
Love the blue and yellow
Dude you are flying!!
Love Audi, but that color. What is that, Ford Probe blue? Sheesh.
I've been waiting for you to review one!
Thanks for letting me bring it to you!
Most beautiful sedan out right now, EV or otherwise!
Love the Taycan but the Audi wins in the aesthetics dept.
For those complaining about the price. Yes, it’s pricey but it’s not for everyone, it’s a luxury performance vehicle with a price that matches that positioning.
At some point they will have entry level options, for more mass consumption.
This is a statement/flagship vehicle, as Audi looks to make its mark in the EV space.
I love the blue with yellow brakes
I am glad that I can share this one with you David!
I like where Audi is going with this Car, Great Styling! 😎
Best looking EV for sure
Nice Audi .
If there is another Tron movie this car would be a star in that film could also be a Decepticon in a Transformers film!
that thing is beautiful. second only to the nsx.😌

That is a possibility.
They even made the swing arm for the brake pedal out of carbon fiber. Biblical attention to detail
Thanks you too I appreciate it is amazing
Joe I need a loan of 152k. I'll pay you back in 500 monthly installments. I need this car!
You crack me up!
I'll give you that loan if the interest rate is 10%, and the payment is pegged to inflation.

As far as EV sedans go, the e-tron is my favorite with the taycan being 2nd. It also shows how outdated the design that Tesla is still using is.
Watching for the PUROSANGUE 😍
Oh yeah that sounds good.
For that price, I'd get a RARE used '14 5.2L Audi R8 in manual, and spend the rest on modifications 🙃. But hey, clearly there's a market for ridiculously priced EV's
Now we are talking!
Joe, you lower your voice when you went to the back end of the business, you're the audi gt rs whisperer 😂
Gimme dat! Beautiful car!!
Very nice
I am glad that you approve!
Good review ...buti still want a Taycan
I'd take it, love the blue.
Porsche please 🙂
Boss...when do you test drive the mazda cx90?..or did I miss something? Regards from your fans from malaysia...🫰🏼🫰🏼
It is coming soon! Stay tuned!
232 max range? Better it would run to 60 at around 5 secs and have a 400 mile range. How important is drag racing to you?
The rims remind me of the Pontiac fiero rims ain't gonna lie.
Now that is interesting!
Space karen, take note. This is how to build a luxury EV.
I see what you did there!
@@RaitisRides LOL!
$152k***
Three asterisks because Audi dealers won’t let these go under 20k above MSRP. I used to sell them 😅

why is there a hump in the back seat, all other electric vehicles have flat back seat floor

Nobody wants a shitty tesla except people who are not into cars
Lol at 10-12% degradation. 5% at most! Which is perfectly normal. Where are you taking your figures from?
At this point how car prices are going…. all I can afford is a bicycle
It is painful out there!
Better realize your dollar is burning up everyday
Better design that the Porsche Taycan!!
The EV if you really, really REALLY don't want to get a Porsche
This is a good point!
no ventilated seats on a car with a sale price over 150 k.
It is really crazy when you think about it.
Does anyone here feel that Audi design of the late 2000s, early 2010s, was the best design? Not really feeling the newest Audi designs as of late...
