At WapCar, we put all the cars tested to a 0-100 km/h sprint using the Racelogic Vbox, an internationally recognised as a quality standard in speed measurement and used in racing applications.

Currently, the quickest car we’ve ever tested is the Audi RS e-tron GT, clocking 3.36 seconds.

Although the onboard computer said 3.1 seconds, it’s likely down to the difference in GPS speed and the indicated speed on the speedometer. Either way, it still takes the crown as the quickest car tested at WapCar so far.

All of that pace is wrapped in a package that offers (just to name a few):

• 21-inch black five-twin-spoke concave module style alloy wheels
• Controlled rear differential lock for the quattro all-wheel drive system
• Rear-wheel steering
• Adaptive air suspension system
• Matrix LED headlamps with laser light technology
• Head-up display
• Steel brakes with tungsten carbide coating and red brake calipers
• Bang & Olufsen premium sound system

What was it like? Surprisingly, one of the least dramatic catapults to 100 km/h we’ve experienced. No tyre squeal (not even a chirp), no squirreling, just an ultra-efficient launch.

We were also granted the privilege to try out its handling capabilities at the limit in one of the few places where you can unleash its full capabilities – Sepang Circuit – courtesy of Audi Malaysia. Watch our POV video of the drive on track below.

As experienced during our time with the Audi RS e-tron GT on the open road, we noticed that its steering offers a noticeably lighter feel when compared to the Taycan. While tackling high-speed corners, it maintains a relatively flat posture and does commendably to conceal its weight.

However, when demanding hard braking or navigating tight turns, the laws of physics inevitably come into play. And it was evident during the track session. During corner entry, the car exhibits a predisposition for understeer, a characteristic likely intended by Audi.

Nevertheless, it remains a supremely stable vehicle, unlikely to be unsettled by most drivers, instilling a sense of confidence throughout the driving experience. It also slingshots out of corners like very few other cars else this writer has experienced and just keeps on pulling.

Just point and squirt, and the car will do the rest for you. It may not be the most rewarding experience, but the fun factor is there.

That being said, this writer is still of the opinion that the Audi RS e-tron GT is a more road-biased car, despite its RS credentials. And on the road, it a lovely EV to pootle around in. Read more about it in our full review here.
