Audi electric car e-tron GT and Porsche Taycan comparison

Audi e-tron GT

The other day, Audi announced the new e-tron GT ~. This is cool, isn't it?

It is said that the evaluation overseas is also very cool among electric vehicles (the appearance of the low silhouette for optimizing aerodynamics is nice), and it is quite popular.

Even so, there are still some things like "But it seems that the Porsche Taycan was the first VW group to announce this e-tron GT," and in the end, "So, what is Taycan?" Where you want to know "what's the difference?"

There was an article comparing the Audi e-tron GT announced this time with the Porsche Taycan, so I took a look. Now, let's take a look at the contents there.

Since then, all the photos comparing the two are "e-tron GT on the top and Taycan on the bottom". Also, the numbers that appear in the text areSource articleIt is the one that was in.

Car style and size

• The wheelbase of the Audi e-tron and Porsche Taycan is the same, 2.9m.
• The total length of the e-tron is 4.99m, while that of the Taycan is 4.96m, which is slightly shorter.
• The width of both cars is 1.96m, which is the same.

• As a roofline comparison, the e-tron is 1.41m, but the Taycan is 1.38m, which is a little lower. ... well, it's a difference of 3 cm ^^
• The Cd value (Constant Drag), which expresses air resistance numerically, is 0.24 for e-tron and 0.22 for Taycan. * By the way, the lower the number, the better.

• The rear trunk space is 405 liters for the e-tron and 365 liters for the Taycan.
• The front trunk space is 81 liters for both cars.

• In terms of design, Audi has introduced its own lights, a new grille, and a deeper approach to the front and rear arches, which is absolutely unlike the Taycan.

interior

• You can see how the e-tron design team worked hard to make the interior design different from the Taycan.
• In the e-tron GT, the buttons of the air conditioning system (air conditioner, etc.) in the car are physical buttons. * Taycan is a touch interface.

• The e-tron has a standard seat that can seat a fifth person in the center of the rear seat, but the Taycan has a standard 4-seat stand-alone (although it can seat 5 people as an option, it is only 2 + 1).

• The e-tron has an MMI screen that tilts towards the driver, but the Taycan does not have an optional passenger seat screen.

Construction

• I understand that the e-tron tried to tweak the suspension and steering setup to make it feel different from the Taycan, but the basics are the same.
• Both the e-tron GT and the Taycan share the same 3-chamber air suspension system, which is simply known as "active damping" on the e-tron (standard on the RS, optional on the Quattro) and PASM (Porsche Active Suspension) on the Taycan. What is known as management).

• In terms of performance, both units share the same dual motor setup. * For TaycanThere is also a single-motor rear-wheel drive modelThat's why, this time it is compared with the dual motor model.

• The e-tron GT Quattro has a total output of 476hp (589hp for RS) and a 2.5 second overboost for 637hp & 612lb-ft torque.
• The Taycan has 616hp for both turbo and turbo S, with overboost output of 671hp & 627lb-ft torque for turbo and 750hp & 774lb-ft torque for turbo S.

• In the European version, the e-tron GT Quattro runs 0-96km in 3.9 seconds and the RS uses overboost in 3.1 seconds.
• The Taycan Turbo uses launch control to drive 0-96km in 3.0 seconds. 2.6 seconds for Turbo S.

• The maximum speed of the e-tron GT Quattro is 245km and the RS is 255km.
• The maximum speed of the Taycan Turbo & Turbo S is 260km.

• The performance of the Taycan is better, but the drive train is almost the same for the e-tron and the Taycan. Both share the same 800V architecture and can be charged at 270kW using a DC quick charger.

• The cruising range is 383km for the e-tron GT quattro and 373km for the RS when the e-tron is fully charged according to the estimated range based on the EPA test in the United States. * It is said that the maximum distance is 487km in the WLTP mode in Europe.
• According to Porsche (WLTP), the Taycan has a turbo of 450km and a turbo S of 412km.

e-tron GT and Taycan price comparison

I wondered if I couldn't say anything without knowing the price, but in terms of price, the Audi e-tron GT is in Germany:

• e-tron GT Quattro is about 12.6 million yen
• RS e-tron GT is about 17.5 million yen

It is said that. In the case of Taycan, in terms of the model compared this time (* Since both were compared with the German price so that there is no price difference between countries, the following prices are the prices in Germany):

• Turbo is about 17.9 million yen
• Turbo S is about 21.8 million yen

It has become.

If I was told to "buy one of them", well, if it was me ... in that case, without hesitation ... Taycan ^^!

Why?

It ’s already about TaycanI've seen and heard various things and have come to knowSo there is too much intimacy. … Ah, this is too strange as a reason for choosing a car (laughs)? ??

No, I think that cars can often not be talked about only by the published "numerical value", but this time the Taycan is variously higher than the numerical value, and I trust myself. Porsche isAfter actually riding it and experiencing itI think it's wonderful.

Therefore, I think that the Audi e-tron GT is also very good, but at the moment, is there any particular "something decisive that I think is better than the Taycan"? Is it like that?

What did you think ~ ^^
