Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2026 RS e-tron GT Performance.
The 2026 Audi RS e-tron GT Performance is the high-performance, all-electric RS variant of the e-tron GT, pairing Audi's performance heritage with a fully electric drivetrain rather than the combustion powertrains historically associated with the RS badge. As the Performance-badged model in the lineup, it represents the most aggressive factory expression of the e-tron GT architecture, oriented toward flagship-level electric performance. From a reliability standpoint, this model year has posted an exceptionally clean early record—just one owner complaint on file, centered on the suspension, and zero open recalls—giving the 2026 a near-spotless footprint for a high-output EV. For a researcher, that baseline of minimal issues and no recalls makes the 2026 RS e-tron GT Performance a useful starting reference point, against which the reliability trajectory of the nameplate and its electric performance peers can be meaningfully tracked in the years ahead.
