2021 Audi e-tron GT Will Look Like the Spectacular 2018 Show Car

  • The 2021 Audi e-tron GT will look nearly identical to what the automaker showed at the 2018 Los Angeles auto show.
  • The interior will also stay unchanged from what the German automaker showed to the public two years ago.
  • The e-tron GT will be unveiled in a few months and will be available in early 2021.

The path from show car to production vehicle is typically a road fraught with compromise. To actually manufacture a car, design elements sometimes have to change, pie-in-the-sky features will likely disappear, and accountants will remind everyone that vehicles are supposed to make money. The result can be disappointing if the end product veers wildly from what was displayed at an auto show. For fans of the Audi e-tron GT, though, that’s not going to be a problem.

Audi head of design Marc Lichte said in an interview earlier this month that other than adding door handles and removing the glowing emblems, the vehicle first seen at the 2018 Los Angeles auto show is 99 percent what we’ll see in showrooms. That’s because what the automaker showed was essentially the production car.
