In terms of handling, the electric S models cannot fail to impress with their outstanding agility and traction: They can accelerate from a curve as dynamically as a sports car, their drive character is much more focused on the rear wheels and much sportier in nature. If the ESC stabilization control is set to “Sport” and the Audi drive select dynamic handling system is set to maximum performance with “Dynamic” mode, the drive layout facilitates a high level of transverse dynamics and, on request, controlled drifts as well. The driving behavior is predictable at all times, and is characterized by an ultra-high level of safety and reliability.

The new Audi e-tron S models are the first electric cars worldwide with three motors to be mass- produced. Their drive layout is based on the concept with two different asynchronous motors; the e-tron product line was designed in modular form in line with this from the start. The larger electric motor, which powers the rear axle in the 55 models, has now been installed on the front axle in an adapted design, and configured for 124 kW of power, or 150 kW in the boost. The smaller electric motor now works in a modified form in the rear, together with a counterpart that is identical in design; together, both offer 196 kW of power, or 264 kW in the boost.

Every electric motor is supplied with three-phase current by its own power electronics; planetary gear transmission with a fixed ratio transmit their forces onto the wheels. The front electric motor is installed parallel to the axles for packaging reasons. The two electric motors on the rear axle are installed coaxially, back to back. Force transmission onto the wheels is performed without a mechanical differential and thus makes electric torque vectoring possible. The rotor plate packages have been cast with light aluminum. Coolant flows through the rotor shafts; this coolant comes from a common coolant circuit that both motors share.

With the optional virtual exterior mirrors (cameras that send their pictures to high-contrast displays in the interior), the Audi e-tron S models achieve very good drag coefficients. Flow- optimized wheel arch extensions make a considerable contribution to resolving the conflict of interest between outstanding aerodynamics and a sporty look in the fully electric S models. Audi is incorporating this innovative solution into mass automobile production for the first time. This allows the Audi e-tron S Sportback to achieve a drag coefficient of only 0.26, despite the widening of its wheel arches by 23 mm.

When the driver is on the road, the electric S models can be charged with up to 150 kW of direct current power (HPC), e.g. in the European Ionity network. This means that charging from 5 to 80% only takes around half an hour. An important factor for this is the elaborate thermal management system with a standard heat pump, which cools and heats the battery, the interior and the electric motors with four circuits. Naturally, the Audi models can also charge with alternating current (AC) – up to 11 kW as standard.
The Audi e-tron Charging Service guarantees convenient access to more than 140,000 public charging points in 24 European countries on request – with nothing more than a charging card. In the first year, Audi covers the basic fee for the transit rate, which also offers access to high power charging columns.
Both S models are available, on request, with the digital Matrix LED headlights, a global innovation in mass production. Their light is dispersed into small pixels and can be controlled with high precision, and this facilitates many new functions such as lane and orientation light. In narrow areas, for example, it shows the car’s position in the lane and thus helps the driver to remain in the center.

Even at low speeds, the electric S models offer an impressive driving experience – an impression of peace, peace that is home to power. The body has been carefully dampened to prevent the transmission of structure-borne noise. When the vehicle is driving slowly, a loudspeaker in front of the right front wheel emits a synthetic driving sound in order to warn other road users. The wind noise level remains very low, even at high speed, as is typical of Audi.
