Audi’s e-tron EV division has had a busy decade, and is gearing up to launch an opening salvo in the mighty EV battle that will begin the next. At the Los Angeles Auto Show this year, the company revealed its newest e-tron vehicle, the GT.

The humble production beginnings of the division—2013’s A3 e-tron—are beginning to look quaint as the German automaker’s ambitious plan begins to see definition; the newest concept—which we hope makes it to production—is the PB18 supercar that looks the very definition of ‘thrilling launch speed’, and the more down-to-earth models being rolled out into next year represent a full lineup of consumer-ready all-electric cars from entry-level to luxury.

The appearance of the e-tron SUV this past autumn, and the A9 slated for 2020 mark two essential cars in the lineup. But Audi has a few more entries to reveal, and one of them is the grand tourer of the group that the company rolled out in Los Angeles.

Not surprisingly, the GT crosses over with another VW Group product when it comes to the fundamentals: the platform will be shared with the Porsche Taycan, which is also upcoming…and sold out for its first production run.

The GT’s looks are unmistakably flashy. The fascia reflects the requisite intensity, and the fastback-style rear hits the right note for contemporary buyers. In short, it’s lovely—but, then, Audi’s always had a knack for conjuring grace out of speed. The GT’s design will be finalized by 2020. Hopefully it won’t change too much.
