Audi has revealed plans for a new e-tron GT four-door sports car that will rival the Tesla Model S when it launches early in the next decade.

The new machine – revealed by Autocar two years ago – was confirmed during the company’s annual press conference as one of the 20 electrified models that will feature in its line-up by 2025.

Audi says the e-tron GT will be ‘highly dynamic’. Audi chairman Rupert Stadler said: “We interpret sportiness very progressively with our fully electric e-tron GT, and this is how we will take our high-performance brand Audi Sport into the future.”

Production of the car will take place at its Bollinger Hofe site in Neckarsulm.
