| āWeāre happy that the fully electric AudiĀ e-tronĀ GT quattro1Ā was a finalist in three categories only a year after its world premiere,ā said Oliver Hoffmann, Member of the Board of Management for Technical Development, after the awards program.
“The fact that theĀ AudiĀ e-tronĀ GT quattro1Ā takes the title of “World Performance Car” and thus this award goes to Audi for the fifth time makes us particularly proud, of course. The AudiĀ e-tronĀ GT quattro1Ā proves that electric mobility can be sustainable, dynamic, and fascinating all at once. Thatās why it is an important part of our commitment to electric mobility.ā As of 2026, Audi will only be launching new models with electric drive systems onto the global market. Starting in 2025, all production at Audi locations will be carbon neutral. That is already happening now in Brussels, GyÅr, and the Bƶllinger Hƶfe, where the AudiĀ e-tronĀ GT quattro1Ā is produced. Sophisticated thermal management system for reproducible performance The performance that earned the AudiĀ e-tronĀ GT quattro1Ā its World Performance Car award is ensured, to a great extent, by a sophisticated thermal management system. In the AudiĀ e-tronĀ GT quattro1, that system consists of four thermal circuits. That means that the battery and the components of the drive system each stay at their ideal temperature, resulting in performance characteristics that can be reproduced at any time. Thanks to intelligent thermal management, anyone who uses theĀ e-tronĀ route planner in theĀ e-tronĀ GT quattro1Ā will put the battery in an ideal temperature range for charging, depending on the exterior temperature, even while the car is driving ā which is useful for fast charging with up to 270 kW. Audi continues to expand its winning streak This year’s victory brings the brand with the four rings to eleven first places at the World Car Awards. That makes Audi the most successful manufacturer in the history of that award. Audiās victories at the World Car Awards
