09 Oct 2020|1,551 views
Audi has previewed the e-tron GT, and it will be the first electric Audi model to be built in Germany. Production will start at Audi Bollinger Hofe at the end of 2020. The small series production facility has been upgraded for its new role, retaining the skilled craftsmanship from the previous facility while supplementing it with digital processes and smart technologies.
Production of the e-tron GT was designed without physical prototypes - a first at Audi.
The inline measuring procedure for the bodies is also new. It guarantees even greater accuracy and can respond very quickly to minute deviations. At the end of the body assembly line is where precise craftsmanship comes into play - experienced workers fit the add-on parts and check the finish of the completed body.
The e-tron GT shares its assembly line with the R8. Both models are moved using the same driverless transport vehicles and an electrically powered monorail system. Once completed, every car is driven for 40km on public roads, which also includes sections on the expressway and in urban traffic.
As with every electric car, the e-tron GT also features the statutory acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS), although embedded within a broader acoustic spectrum. A loudspeaker fitted in the front of the vehicle emits the AVAS sound.
If specified with the optional sound package, a second larger loudspeaker is added in the rear. In parallel, two loudspeakers in the interior provide an emotional sound experience. Two control units continuously remix the e-tron GT sound based on variables such as speed or accelerator position. The Audi drive select system allows drivers to set whether and how intensively they wish to experience the sound.
