## How fast is the Audi RS e-tron GT?

62mph in 3.3 seconds using launch control, where the two motors deliver 590bhp and 830Nm together. Top speed is limited to 155mph. What stands out is the delivery rather than the number: no gearchange to wait for and no engine noise, so the speed arrives without any sense of effort.

## How quickly does it charge?

Up to 270kW on a DC rapid charger, thanks to an 800-volt electrical system that most electric cars do not have. In practice that is roughly 20 minutes from 5 to 80 per cent on a suitable charger. On a 7kW AC supply it takes overnight. The car is delivered fully charged.

## What does it cost to hire an RS e-tron GT?

A refundable deposit near £5,000 and a matching insurance excess are typical. Mileage is 12,000 miles a year with about £2 a mile beyond. Charging costs are yours; the car arrives full.

## Is it a practical car to hire?

For two people, entirely. For four, the rear seats are tight on headroom because of the low roofline, and the boot is modest for the car's length. Range on a cold motorway run is the real constraint — plan on around 200 miles between charges in winter, and rather more in summer.

## Frequently asked questions

### How far does the RS e-tron GT go on a charge?

The official figure is around 280 miles, though a realistic winter motorway range is nearer 200. It charges fast enough that a stop costs twenty minutes rather than an hour, which changes how the range feels in practice.

### Do I need a special charging card?

No, but accounts on a couple of the main rapid networks make life easier. We can set out which chargers on your route support the car's peak rate. Charging costs are yours during the hire.

### How old do I need to be to hire one?

Partners typically ask for drivers aged 30 or over with at least five years on a full licence and no more than six penalty points. We confirm the criteria for the specific car before anything is booked.

*Performance & Prestige hires vehicles from its own fleet and, where a vehicle is not one of ours, arranges it through a vetted partner. Cars marked "we can source" are subject to confirmation before anything is agreed. Rates include VAT. Nothing is booked or paid for through this website: a person confirms the car, the full cost and the delivery slot with you first.*

*Pre-launch note: the rates, driver criteria, deposits, excesses and mileage allowances quoted here are read from Performance & Prestige's own catalogue data, which is still being confirmed with the owner and the insurer. Read them as the shape of the figures rather than as a quotation. What binds is your written quote and your hire agreement.*
