TheStraightPipes gave the 2023 Audi RS e-tron GT RS a mixed review with an OctaneScore of 52/100, praising it as the best electric car on the market while acknowledging significant practical drawbacks. The vehicle excels in performance (100/100) with 590 hp, 0-60 in the low 3-second range, and impressive acceleration even at 50% battery, plus striking design that looks like a "Batmobile" with exceptional headlights and cabin tech featuring hard-button climate controls and a button-activated front trunk. However, major negatives undermine the package: the trunk is too small for cargo, public Level 3 charging infrastructure is unreliable and frequently broken, and at $195,740 CAD it's prohibitively expensive (0/100 value score), leading the reviewer to note you "won't be able to charge it anywhere in real life." The Audi RS e-tron GT is best suited for wealthy buyers who can install home charging and prioritize performance and design over practicality and value.
