A New 912-HP Audi Sat Unsold For Months And The Price Finally Cracked
Audi's RS e-tron GT delivers huge performance, but depreciation is turning it into an unexpected bargain
- The 2025 Audi RS e-tron GT Performance starts at $170,500.
- A new 13-mile example in Las Vegas is listed $54,005 under MSRP.
- Listings nationwide show multiple cars already priced below sticker.
The new Audi RS e-tron GT Performance is a road-going rocket ship, blending hypercar-level acceleration with genuine long-distance comfort. It delivers extraordinary pace alongside impressive Grand Touring ability, yet like the model it replaces, it's already shedding value quickly in the US.
