Review of the RS E-Tron GT in the Angeles Crest mountains and difference in suspension compared the the Taycan.

Confirms what @epirali has been saying about the softer Audi suspension.

Thanks, interesting review. Agree with a lot of it, he did make a couple of mistakes right off the bat but minor. I am not sure sure the Turbo S would "smoke" the RS ETron, it would definitely beat it on a straight line drag race. But outside of launch control drag race they should be relatively close. I remember seeing a few track tests with the Turbo and the Turbo S and the final times were not that different. I am not sure how many times you will get to use the extra overboost to gain a lot of time.

It was interesting how the emergency maneuver was so effortless, and that is what I was trying to say. It is so comfortable and smooth compared to the TTS you expect the car to NOT be so nimble, yet it is.
