#6: All-wheel steering for confident cornering
Last, but certainly not least, there’s the new Audi e-tron GT’s optional all-wheel steering system. It can rotate the rear wheels by up to 2.8 degrees to offer enhanced stability on a twisty road or enhanced manoeuvrability around town.
At speeds over 50mph, the rear wheels turn by up to 2.8 degrees in the same direction as the front wheels, working with the Audi e-tron GT’s all-electric quattro all-wheel drive to enhance mid-corner stability.
At speeds below 50mph, the all-wheel drive system turns the wheels in the opposite direction to the front wheels. Working with the new Audi e-tron GT’s more direct front-axle steering ratio, that reduces steering effort at lower speeds and narrows the car’s turning radius by about 0.6 metres for low-speed manoeuvres around town.
So, those are all the reasons why the new Audi e-tron GT is taking electric performance, range and driving character to the next level. Maybe it’s time to try it for yourself.

* Range dependent on trim and optional equipment. All vehicles are tested according to WLTP technical procedures. Figures shown are official test values for comparability purposes; only compare fuel consumption, CO2 and electric range figures with other vehicles tested to the same technical procedures. These figures may not reflect real life driving results, which will depend upon a number of factors including but not limited to factory fitted options, accessories fitted (post-registration), variations in weather, road and traffic conditions, individual driving styles, vehicle load, vehicle condition, use of systems like climate control (and, for battery electric vehicles, the starting charge, age and conditions of the battery). Figures for battery electric vehicles were obtained after the battery had been fully charged. Battery electric vehicles require mains electricity for charging. Zero emissions while driving. Figures quoted are subject to change due to ongoing approvals/changes and figures may include options not available in the UK.
** Timings based on a 10 to 80% charge using an ultra-rapid DC public charge station at the vehicle’s maximum charging capability. Ultra rapid charging stations are still limited in the UK, with numbers planned to increase. Actual charging times will vary depending on various factors, including the selected vehicle (and battery option, if available), the type of charger used, the level of charge in the battery, the age type, condition and temperature of the charger and the battery, the power supply, ambient temperature at the point of use and other environmental factors.
