This is the Audi e-tron GT, the sister car to the Porsche Taycan – based on the same VW Group J1 platform and containing much of the same technology – albeit wrapped in an extremely sharp suit. It’s not the first pure-electric Audi of course but it is definitely one of the most exciting, producing 469bhp – boosted to 523bhp when you engage launch control... and this isn't even the RS model. So this, or a Porsche Taycan, then? Top Gear Magazine’s Serious Car Tester Ollie Kew is here to help.
