Despite it looking like a family vacation car heading for the ski resort, the Audi RS e-tron GT seems comfortable going through the illustrious corkscrew as its advanced Quattro system ensures that all four wheels maintain traction through the unlevelled apex. After a good few warm-up laps with the time still being way off from the Tesla, block opts to turn off all of the assists to see if he can get within the record-breaking region.
This helped him shave a second from the time but unfortunately, with a closing result of around 1:43.00, Block was unable to get even close to the track-specified Tesla. Block still calls it a victory nonetheless as it is technically the fastest production EV to go through the circuit in wet conditions with a roof box and non-slick tires. If he wants a trophy for that obscure record, it may take a while to get it engraved.
