First seen in concept form at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show, the Audi e-tron GT debuted on the big screen alongside Tony Stark in Avengers: Endgame. Four years on, the 2022 Audi e-tron GT is ready for prime time action.

2022 Audi e-tron GT: This Is No Taycan Clone

It?s no secret the Audi e-tron GT and Porsche Taycan are platform twins, but the two high-performance EVs have different characters and temperaments. The Taycan is an all-conquering Porsche bearing the iconic 911?s ?Turbo? badge, spearheading Stuttgart into the next-generation, hence the meatier performance numbers versus the Audi e-tron GT.

On the other hand, the e-tron GT is a high-performance grand tourer, and it?s a stunning one at that. It looks better than the Porsche ? even though both unmistakably share a few styling cues, particularly in the rear roofline and rear flanks ? but it has the aura of Audi?s unforgettable Rosemeyer concept from the year 2000.
Even though the Porshe has more power and is faster in the real world, don?t expect the Audi to wither in the Taycan?s presence. It has the same 800-volt electrical architecture powering two electric motors to deliver scintillating performance, and an RS model is waiting in the wings, promising more speed at a lower price point than the Porsche.
