Lucky us: We drive the Audi E-Tron GT concept

Cars
[MUSIC]Wow, that is so amazingly pretty. I can't even believe it, you see it on the show floor and you're like okay but it's under the lights and everything. And then you see it in the city like this, it's so beautiful.[MUSIC]After an auto show, we have to wait weeks or even months to get to drive all of the cool cars that we saw. But now, today, I am cutting that time considerably, because I got to drive this. This is the Audi e-tron GT concept. Now this was a standout at the Los Angeles Auto Show and I'm gonna get behind the wheel. I'm so stoked. This bad boy is definitely gonna give Tesla Model S a run for it's electrons.[MUSIC]Now this GT follows the launch of the Etron SUV and its coupe over cousin the sport back, and it really shows that Audi is dedicated to bringing more EVs to market. In fact, by 2025, they're going to have a total of 12 EVs for sale. Now the GT gets it's go go juice from a 90 kilowatt hour battery that can be charged wirelessly, although sure that's gonna take a while, or through a high speed 800 volt system which can give you 200 miles of range in about 20 minutes. Now the total amount of range that Audi hopes for is 250, so that's pretty much a full tank of all that electron goodness. You've got one motor on each axle, so that's giving you that awesome Audi Quatro All Wheel Drive, and together they give you 590 horsepower, and about the same amount of torque. Now that is enough to get this bad boy up from 0 to 60 miles an hour in 3.5 seconds, and I cannot tell you how much I want to do that right now! But, unfortunately, this is a concept so we gotta take it a little bit And I have to tell you, sitting in this car feels so special. I feel like I am not in this car, but I'm wearing this car. The bucket seat is just cradling my hindquarters so very well. I got this awesome suede steering wheel that is flat on the bottom and on the top, and it just feels so good in my hands. And everything in this in the interior is really, really sleek and modern. I mean I wouldn't expect anything less from Audi. I mean the company that gave us virtual cockpit which I love more than anything, here we're getting a modernized version of it and I have tell you, you guys, this is probably the electric vehicle I would buy and I haven't even driven it that hard yet. And as I'm driving the GT, I keep finding all these cool, little surprises. Like, check out this weather monitor, here. It's so awesome, so detailed, and the graphics are so nice. And then, of course, I have to call out this awesome panoramic sunroof. I do love me a good sunroof, and a panoramic sunroof is that absolute Both the e-tron SUV and the Sportback will be available in 2019, yet we've got no word on pricing yet. But the e-tron GT, the production version, that will be available in late 2020.[MUSIC]
