The RS e-tron GT performance matters because luxury brands are still searching for a convincing answer to a simple question: can electric speed feel expensive in the old emotional sense of the word?
What Changed

This belongs in Business Leaders & Luxury Cars because halo products still set the atmosphere around an entire brand. Even executives who never buy this exact car absorb the message it sends.
Why It Matters

In WOWV2 terms, the RS e-tron GT matters because it treats luxury EV ownership as performance theatre with manners.
