This November Germany’s 2021 Goldenes Lenkrad (Golden Steering Wheel) award was granted to Audi e-tron GT* for the Most Beautiful Car of the Year category. The winner in this category prevailed against 69 other car models.
Golden Steering Wheel
The 45th Golden Steering Wheel awards took place in Berlin at the Journalistenclub. The vehicle was presented with the famous sculpture for “the Most Beautiful Car of the Year.” “In its design, the e-tron GT* emphasizes Audi’s claim as an automotive design brand. With its impressive performance, it offers the most emotional kind of electromobility. And with its sustainable concept, it expresses an attitude. The e-tron GT is our flagship model,” said Duesmann.
The Golden Steering Wheel is not only one of the most prestigious, but also the oldest automotive competition in Germany. It was awarded for the first time in 1976. Some 70 new models were competing for the 2021 Golden Steering Wheel, distributed across 12 categories. Furthermore, the vote for the Most Beautiful Car of the Year is a cross-category competition and readers can vote for it directly. That means it is a real audience award and therefore a heartfelt choice for an emotional car.
Electric Motors
Electric mobility is becoming dynamic and fascinating, and Audi e-tron GT is an example of it. The four-door coupé will be introduced on the market as an RS model at the same time. It reinterprets the classic idea of the Gran Turismo: Its design is highly emotive, its technology is revolutionary.
Two powerful electric motors provide confident electric all-wheel drive and stunning road performance. The high-voltage battery with a net energy content of 84 kWh enables ranges of up to 487 kilometers (302.6 mi) (for the Audi e-tron GT Quattro) to be achieved and can be recharged extremely quickly thanks to its 800-volt technology. Suspension, lights, controls, connection, or e-tron sport sound: The Audi e-tron GT quattro1 and the RS e-tron GT2 demonstrate accumulated technical expertise and the Audi brand’s passion for details.
