Compare the2024 Rolls-Royce SpectreVS 2024 Audi e-tron GT

The Spectre’s driver alert monitor detects an inattentive driver then sounds a warning and suggests a break. According to the NHTSA, drivers who fall asleep cause about 100,000 crashes and 1500 deaths a year. The e-tron GT doesn’t offer a driver alert monitor.

Both the Spectre and the e-tron GT 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 and rear cross-path warning.

The Rolls-Royce Spectre weighs 1232 to 1311 pounds more than the Audi e-tron GT. The NHTSA advises that heavier cars are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

The Spectre comes with a full 4-year/unlimited-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire car and includes 24-hour roadside assistance. The e-tron GT’s 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty expires sooner.

Rolls-Royce pays for scheduled maintenance on the Spectre for 4 years and unlimited miles. Rolls-Royce will pay for brake fluid replacement, inspections, and any other required maintenance. Audi only pays for the first scheduled maintenance visit on the e-tron GT.

The Spectre’s electric motors produces 54 more horsepower (577 vs. 523) and 192 lbs.-ft. more torque (664 vs. 472) than the e-tron GT’s standard electric motors. The Spectre’s electric motors produces 52 lbs.-ft. more torque (664 vs. 612) than the RS e-tron GT’s standard electric motors.

The Spectre can travel longer on a full charge than the e-tron GT on a full charge:

For better traction, the Spectre has larger front standard tires than the e-tron GT (F:255/45R22 & R:285/40R22 vs. F:245/45R20 & R:285/40R20).

The Spectre has active sway bars, which help keep it flat and controlled during cornering, but disconnect at lower speeds to smooth the ride and offer greater off-road suspension articulation. This helps keep the tires glued to the road on-road and off. The e-tron GT doesn’t offer an active sway bar system.

The Spectre offers an available adjustable active suspension system, which counteracts cornering forces actively, limiting body roll and improving handling and stability. Audi doesn’t offer an active suspension on the e-tron GT.
