After 19 months my RS E-Tron GT it's finally how it should have been from the factory for the way I drive.
Performance with a balance of ride comfort.

1) Lowered by 10mm for better handling and more planted at high speeds. Looks better by removing that enormous wheel gap.
Drawback is NVH

2) Michelin Pilot Sport 4S replacing the stock Goodyear F1 Asymmetric.
This made a difference with handling and NVH.
the Goodyears are focused more on efficiency than other elements of a proper tire.

3) 800hp upgrade, full power without being in launch control.
This was a game changer. The 100km-200km has improved by a full second and can now keep up with other sports cars. I recently tuned the Drivability settings to make the toque more instant than the Taycan to give it a sportier feel.


With these tweeks, it's the finally the car that should have rolled off the assembly line. I'm finally satisfied, for now

It's Nogaro under the Exclusive program.

Ara and Sepang are also an Exclusive offering.
I'm really big on paints

There are many colors you can request. I'm working on a few special colors for the Facelift E-Tron GT performance ?

One of the best looking RS E-Tron's i've seen! Well done. Love the stance and the color.

Are you seeing a dramatic reduction in range with the added performance? I know it's fully dependent on driving habits, but I'm sure you're loving your new unleashed power and have probably been driving rather spirted! Enjoy!

Do you know if any Taycan owners in the Bay Area did the Redshift mod that you did?

A 4s and a GTS just get it in the Bay over a few days ago. You can reach out to Redshift to collaborate with them
If anyone's is Socal you can drive my car to feel the difference

Range is not affected if you are just driving at 70mph, but if you push it past the previous power limits, you will see the difference because its pulling more power.
Even the Turbo is sluggish when not off the line in LC. This gives a huge power increase and with the drivabilty adaption, you get that kick to make it feel faster now.

Thanks for the complements

This is so tempting! My ST GTS would essentially turn into a Turbo….or perhaps a Turbo S with this mod! I would get the best of both worlds….Turbo S performance and GTS trim & interior! ?

I just got a RS GT Base and it's very disappointing in terms of steering feel and handling, it's tuned on the very soft side, even softer then a CT with the exact same tires (Pirelli Cinturato P7), i'll take a Base 2025 Taycan any day despite the power difference..

VAG really forced Audi to create inferior steering and suspension, all by software tuning.

You will have to lower to it compensate for the body roll
