Audi brings new e-sports car to Heilbronn in 2027-jobs secured!

The future of electromobility takes on concrete forms in Heilbronn. Audi plans to launch a new fully electric sports car in two years, which is to be produced in the city's industrial heart, the Böllinger Höfe. According to SWR, the Audi works council was asked to increase the occupancy in the factory and to secure jobs.

The e-tron GT, which was presented in February 2021 and revised in June 2024, is already manufactured in Heilbronn. The new two -seater is expected to come onto the market in 2027 and could secure employment in the long term, says Reinhart von Audi, who also emphasizes that the promise for the new model will clarify the future in the Böllingen Höfen.

The e-tron GT: a success story

The e-tron GT, which is in direct relationship with the renowned Porsche Taycan, comes with impressive performance data: it offers two variants with 476 and 586 hp, the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes place in 4.1 and 3.3 seconds. With a maximum range of 488 kilometers, this electric speedster has already conquered many hearts. Around 10,000 copies are to be placed on the tires in Heilbronn, with half for the US market and a quarter for Europe, as the [echo] (https://www.echo24.de/heilbronn/Audi-e-tron-gt-geheiler- Hoefe-Heilbronn-Heilbronn-Heiden-heilbronn-Heiden- 90256348.html) reports.

The prices start at 99,800 euros for the basic version, while the RS variant costs at least 138,200 euros. The charging infrastructure is a special challenge, but it is continuously expanded and improved. The e-tron GT can be charged in just 5 minutes for 100 kilometers of range on a quick charging station, which makes use particularly comfortable.

electromobility in the upswing

In view of the developments in the automotive sector, electric models are very popular. A current study by the Center of Automotive Management predicts that the market share of electric cars in Germany will increase to 16 percent by 2025 and 28 percent by 2030. By 2030, around 900,000 e-vehicles will be expected-a clear indication that the demand for innovative, environmentally friendly automobiles will continue to increase in the future, reports [Baumaschinen] (https://baumaschinen.online/artikel/e- Mobilitaet-werd-sich-bis-2030- Setzet-000513).

For Audi, it is important to overcome the challenges in the current crisis. CEO Gernot Döllner recently spoke of residues, conversions and necessary improvements. The decision to secure the capacities in Heilbronn with the new e-mobile could be a decisive step for the brand. It is to be hoped that the Swabians also have a good hand in the second model.
