Audi e-Tron GT: The ultra-luxurious high performer

DoneDeal’s review team take Audi’s premium EV for a test drive.

DoneDeal / YouTube

This week on the DoneDeal YouTube channel, we’re reviewing the Audi e-tron GT.

It’s difficult to find the perfect car which ticks all the boxes:
1. Comfortable
2. Practical
3. Luxury
4. Fast
5. Economical
6. Has 5 seats

There are not many cars on this list, the Tesla Model S, the Porsche Taycan and a couple others which all incidentally are electric cars!

The e-tron GT offers up to 479km range, 0-100km/h in 4.1 seconds and can sit a family of 5 reasonably comfortably.

The Model S has been one the most important cars of the decade, and that’s because it has motivated manufactures like Audi, Mercedes and BMW to develop newer and better cars.

The staggering thing about the e-tron GT is the way it handles, it weighs well over 2 tonne and yet feels incredibly nimble and responsive!

    So unnecessary. Guns are a blight on decent society.

    guns are tools, used by tools who are supported by other tools.

    The people’s hero. I’m sure you’d prefer to tackle intruders armed with baseball bats and knives with your sweeping brush rather than a gun? It’s only a matter of time before Irish people cop on to themselves and stand up to these vermin of our society.

    Just wait for the gun lobby to come out and say that this drug dealer wouldn’t have shot him if he was armed

    Yet another senseless killing. Oh well on with the NRA gun show etc. Sincere sympathies to his family and friends.

    In the US, guns are also known as “alternative dispute resolution instruments”.
