Audi of America Unveils Limited Edition 2023 RS e-tron GT Project_513/2 with Camouflage Design Elements
Audi of America has announced the release of a limited edition 2023 Audi RS e-tron GT project_513/2, which is set to be available exclusively in the United States. The special edition vehicle is based on the original RS e-tron GT prototype design and features unique interior and exterior e-tron camouflage design elements.
The RS e-tron GT project_513/2 is the first Audi to offer a camouflage graphics-skinned and wrapped exterior from the factory. The camouflage graphics are designed to create confusion for onlookers that may be looking to capture the latest glimpse into automotive exterior design and technology before it is made public. The project_513/2 represents the project naming convention which defines the product’s segment, generation, and body style.
The exterior of the vehicle features a red and black color theme from the original prototype test mules, with “red” Audi rings on the front and rear of the exterior. Unique 21-inch aero wheels finished in black are framed with both front and rear ceramic brakes painted in red. The rear quarter glass is etched with the “project_513/2” logo that underlines its exclusivity.
The interior of the vehicle is inspired by its exterior colors and design elements using red and black colored accents as well as Audi exclusive interior elements unique to the edition. The air vents have been painted in the exact red color used for the exterior Audi rings, while red also appears on other details such as the steering wheel, floor mats, and Fine Nappa leather honeycomb stitched seats.
The dashboard introduces an Audi design first – Carbon fiber inlays with camo graphics that mimic the exterior design. These graphics include an innovative “partial matting” patented process, which is just a few thousandths of a millimeter deep, all primarily created by hand. The overall process includes the first component to be masked with a special foil, followed by glass media material that is pulled over the component using a suction jet method creating a distinctive, consistent look.
The RS e-tron GT project_513/2 presents an extensive list of standard equipment, including Fine Nappa leather seats with honeycomb stitching, 18-way front sport seat with ventilation and massage, ceramic brakes with red caliper, rear wheel steering, power steering plus, Audi exclusive interior, 21“ 5-double-spoke concave design wheels in black finish, Dinamica headliner, HD Matrix-design LED headlights with Audi laser light, carbon fiber roof, carbon fiber exterior door inlays, carbon fiber mirror caps, illuminated carbon fiber door sills inlays with RS logo.
The Audi RS e-tron GT project_513/2 leverages the thrilling performance of the RS e-tron GT – Audi’s fastest 0-60 mph accelerating production model. Performance comes from two different motors (one on the front axle, and one on the rear axle) producing a combined 637 horsepower – making acceleration to 60 mph possible in just 3.1 seconds.
For those customers that may not be fortunate enough to get one of the 75 limited edition units, Audi of America has introduced the e-tron GT camouflage Indoor car cover for sale at audi-collection.com. The Indoor car cover holds the same camouflage wrap available on the RS e-tron GT project_513/2 made from a breathable and anti-static material, tailored specifically to fit your e-tron GT.
To further celebrate the exclusivity of each individual project_513/2, customers will receive a never before offered special edition VIN art. The VIN art portraits are printed on a thin aluminum plate with a high-gloss surface and are derived from the Vehicle Identification Number – exhibiting a detailed art print expression of the customer’s vehicle in high-resolution for display.
The 2023 Audi RS e-tron GT project_513/2 is slated to be on sale this spring, with an MSRP pricing detail of $179,900. Price excludes $1,495 destination charge, $595 metallic paint charge, sales taxes, title, options, and dealer charges. Dealer sets actual price.
