Driving dynamics
Launch control
A launch control system has been implemented for the Audi e-tron GT (type F8). This involves pre-tensioning the drive system when
the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal are pressed at the same time.
Creep response
If the Audi e-tron GT (type F8) is on a level surface with a transmission position selected, the vehicle will begin to “creep”, as vehi-
cles with an automatic gearbox do.
Transmission position D/S
There is no transmission position S on this vehicle project. The response of the electric drive motors is affected by the Audi drive
select settings.
Driving away on a slope
When driving away on a slop without the brake or accelerator pedal pressed, the vehicle behaves differently depending on the sit-
uation.

If the vehicle remains stationary in a specific situation (refer to table), the ESC (ABS control unit J104) controls this input. As soon
as transmission position N is selected via the selector lever, the vehicle starts to roll.
Recuperation settings
The strength of recuperation in overrun mode (brake pedal and accelerator pedal not pressed) can be set via the paddle levers on
the steering wheel. Two levels of different strengths can be selected. The first level is much more noticeable to the driver than
level 2. The maximum recuperation under braking is approx. 265 kW.
Coasting mode
If the vehicle is in coasting mode, the motor is set to 0 torque. This means that the motor cannot provide motor power or act as a
generator.
Reversing
When the vehicle reverses, the rotating magnetic field reverses the electric motor’s direction of rotation. This means that the mo-
tor turns in reverse. The front motor is used as the main axle when reversing.
Electronic engine sound
Engine sound generator control unit 2 J1167 / engine sound generator control unit 3 J1177
On the Audi e-tron GT and the RS e-tron GT (type F8), an exterior sound system is available as standard. An interior sound system is
available as an option. A warning sound at low speeds is required by law and this requirement is met (in the basic version) by a
single loudspeaker. The system is known as AVAS (acoustic vehicle alerting system). The loudspeaker is fitted in the front section of
the vehicle. Customers can also choose additional equipment where an additional loudspeaker is fitted at the rear of the vehicle
along with two loudspeakers in the vehicle interior. Engine sound generator control unit 3 J1177 is fitted as part of this additional
equipment. The two loudspeakers in the vehicle interior are fitted in the rear left and rear right doors. They are additional loud-
speakers. The two control units control the sound that is experienced on the basis of speed, load and the Audi drive select mode
selected. The technical implementation of country-specific regulations may mean that the sound is perceived differently depending
on whether the vehicle is driving forwards or reversing. Retrofitting the optional equipment is not permissible due to legal restric-
tions.
