Daily News | 2022 Audi RS e-tron GT: A racer with a short range. It’s great fun while it lasts.
The blasts of acceleration will cost you, though. After a couple wild starts, the trip computer dinged me five miles of range, and then the range kept falling faster than expected.
Keeping up with traffic on Delaware Route 1 toward the beaches on a Saturday — anyone who’s driven there knows the average speed — will also suck down the juice.Shiftless:The Quattro all-wheel-drive system and adaptive air suspension give the RS handling equal to any supercar, with zero lean on corners and curves. The vehicle is a delight to zig and zag, and a great companion on the highway, as well.
A hatchback would have been nice here. The cargo space is spare, and Audi is not sharing its dimensions. Advantage Mercedes.The Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system provides the same level of delight as it has in all the Audis tested recently. Playback is an A+, with super clear sound that brings out song parts I’d never otherwise know about.
Operation of Audi’s system is something I finally mastered. There’s a round volume control of some sort on the console that always perplexed me enough to just throw up my hands and opt for the steering wheel controls. This time I realized you just draw a circle clockwise to raise the volume, and counterclockwise to lower it. Keeping warm and cool:Hell is other people”:The RS sits very low to the ground, low enough that tall pickup truck headlights shine like 1,000 suns.
I tried restoring my sight by speeding away, but apparently that’s rude. He sure showed me, catching up a mile later, blinding me worse, then passing illegally.The RS e-tron GT comes with two, count ‘em two, charging ports, so no elaborate parking plan to match the cord. Still, with 100 extra miles, advantage Mercedes.The lesser-version e-tron GT gets a predicted reliability of 2 out of 5 from Consumer Reports. A tie.It was hard to pry me out of the RS e-tron GT.
