Compare the2024 Audi e-tron GTVS 2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre

The e-tron GT’s pre-crash front seatbelts will tighten automatically in the event the vehicle detects an impending crash, improving protection against injury significantly. The Spectre doesn’t offer pre-crash pretensioners.

For enhanced safety, the front seat shoulder belts of the Audi e-tron GT are height-adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of driver and passenger heights. A better fit can prevent injuries and the increased comfort also encourages passengers to buckle up. The Rolls-Royce Spectre doesn’t offer height-adjustable seat belts.

The e-tron GT has a standard Secondary Collision Brake Assist, which automatically applies the brakes in the event of a crash to help prevent secondary collisions and prevent further injuries. The Spectre doesn’t offer a post collision braking system: in the event of a collision that triggers the airbags, more collisions are possible without the protection of airbags that may have already deployed.

Over 200 people are killed each year when backed over by motor vehicles. The e-tron GT Prestige/RS has a standard Maneuver Assist that uses rear sensors to monitor for objects to the rear and automatically applies the brakes to prevent a collision. The Spectre doesn’t offer backup collision prevention brakes.

Both the e-tron GT and Spectre have rear cross-traffic warning, but the e-tron GT has Automatic Brake Activation (automatically applies the brakes) to better prevent a collision when backing near traffic. The Spectre’s Cross Traffic Warning doesn’t automatically brake.

Both the e-tron GT and the Spectre have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, all wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras, rear cross-path warning and available around view monitors.

The e-tron GT’s corrosion warranty is 8 years longer than the Spectre’s (12 vs. 4 years).

There are almost 8 times as many Audi dealers as there are Rolls-Royce dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the e-tron GT’s warranty.

The RS e-tron GT’s standard electric motors produces 60 more horsepower (637 vs. 577) than the Spectre’s electric motors.

On the EPA test cycle the e-tron GT gets better mileage than the Spectre:

The e-tron GT RS offers optional heat-treated ceramic brake rotors, which last ten to twenty times as long as conventional cast iron rotors, don’t rust, don’t fade during repeated high speed braking, and their lighter weight contribute to better braking, handling and acceleration. The Spectre doesn’t offer ceramic brake rotors.

For better traction, the e-tron GT Prestige/RS’ optional tires are larger than the largest tires available on the Spectre (F:265/35R21 & R:305/30R21 vs. F:255/40R23 & R:295/35R23).

The e-tron GT Prestige/RS’ optional 265/35R21 front and 305/30R21 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 35 series front and 30 series rear profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Spectre’s optional 40 series front and 35 series rear tires.

For better maneuverability, the e-tron GT’s turning circle is 3.6 feet tighter than the Spectre’s (38.1 feet vs. 41.7 feet).

The Audi e-tron GT may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 1250 to 1300 pounds less than the Rolls-Royce Spectre.

The e-tron GT is 1 foot, 7.2 inches shorter than the Spectre, making the e-tron GT easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

The e-tron GT has standard seating for 5 passengers; the Spectre can only carry 4.

The e-tron GT Prestige/RS has a standard heads-up display that projects speed in front of the driver’s line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road. The Spectre doesn’t offer a heads-up display.

The e-tron GT Prestige/RS’ Park Assist Plus can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, starting, stopping and changing direction automatically. Remote Park Assist will park and retrieve your car remotely: press a button and watch it park itself. This is ideal for tight locations. The Spectre’s automatic parking system requires operating the brakes and transmission to safely park and it doesn’t offer remote control parking.
