The Audi RS e-tron GT stands as one of the most impressive models in Audi’s high-performance lineup.

This all-electric powerhouse might not appeal to every enthusiast, but for those who embrace the future of performance, it delivers an electrifying driving experience. With its aggressive styling, razor-sharp handling, and instant torque, the RS e-tron GT is an ideal candidate for customisation. The latest transformation comes courtesy of Reifen Winkel, who have elevated its road presence with a premium set of Barracuda Racing Wheels.

Ultra-Lightweight Project 2.0 Wheels for Maximum Impact

To enhance both aesthetics and performance, Reifen Winkel opted for Barracuda’s Project 2.0 wheels from the brand’s Ultralight Series. Manufactured using advanced Flow Forged technology, these wheels offer exceptional strength while keeping weight to a minimum. The setup includes 10x22-inch front wheels and 11.5x22-inch rear wheels, tipping the scales at just 12.4 kg and 12.6 kg respectively. The Black Brushed finish adds a sophisticated contrast to the RS e-tron GT’s futuristic design, giving it an even more high-tech, race-inspired look.

Grip is just as crucial as aesthetics, so the wheels are wrapped in high-performance tyres measuring 255/30ZR22 at the front and 305/25ZR22 at the rear. This ensures optimal traction, whether carving through corners or launching off the line with the RS e-tron GT’s instant electric torque. To complete the transformation, Reifen Winkel fine-tuned the car’s factory air suspension, lowering the ride height for an even more aggressive stance and improved aerodynamics.

With this bespoke upgrade, the RS e-tron GT doesn’t just look the part it feels it too. The lightweight wheels reduce unsprung mass, contributing to sharper handling and enhanced efficiency, while the lowered stance improves stability at high speeds. Whether parked or in motion, this modified Audi RS e-tron GT is a head-turner, proving that electric performance cars can be just as thrilling to customise as their petrol-powered counterparts.

For those looking to personalise their RS e-tron GT, Barracuda Racing Wheels and Reifen Winkel have set the benchmark for style, performance, and innovation in the EV tuning scene.
