Biggest news are the new "S" models. With 496 horsepower from three electric motors, the e-tron S and e-tron Sportback S need to be over an inch-and-a-half wider to fit the motors, the result: 717 pound feet of torque. The front motor is normally dormant until extra power or traction are called for. The two rear motors operate independently, allowing amazing new levels of traction control and cornering assistance. The S will be offered in Premium Plus and Prestige trims. Tires and brakes carry over from regular e-tron models.
Top View Camera with Virtual 360° View, Audi adaptive cruise control with turn assist and Audi active lane assist with emergency assist are all now optional on Sportback Premium, and still standard on Premium Plus and Prestige.

Carbon ceramic brakes are optional on the RS variant, and a 637-horsepower dual motor powertrain with power going to all four wheels is standard. Lesser (Premium Plus and Prestige) variants make due with a 522-horsepower variant. If some of those specifications sound familar, that's because the e-tron GT shares a platform, motors, batteries and more with the Porsche Taycan, its brother from another German mother.
