Watch Audi RS E-Tron GT and Audi RS6 Performance Go Head to Head in Drag Race

Audi has ambitious plans to increase its production of battery-electric vehicles in the coming years. As the company ramps up its EV production, it is also showcasing its lineup of high-performance cars. In a new video, Audi pits its latest electric offering, the RS E-Tron GT, against its past performance powerhouse, the RS6 Performance, in a thrilling drag race.

The RS E-Tron GT boasts an impressive 637 horsepower, but its torque output falls a bit short at 604 pound-feet. Additionally, the electric sedan’s weight is on the heavier side, coming in at 5,169 pounds. Audi has also limited the car’s top speed to 155 miles per hour, but it compensates with a quicker acceleration time, reaching 62 mph in just 0.3 seconds faster than the RS6 Performance.
