Audi has rolled out the red carpet for a limited edition marvel – the RS e-tron GT 'Ice Race' edition, a homage to the 40th anniversary of the famed GP Ice Race in the Austrian Alps. With a mere 99 units up for grabs, this winter wonder on wheels is set to cost a cool £150,630 each, and lucky UK enthusiasts can expect just four of these beauties to hit their roads.

Now, let's strip away the mundane exterior and dive into the heart of the 'Ice Race' edition. A Florett Silver metallic coat, adorned with a black CFRP roof, and delicately wrapped in silver and white accents reminiscent of snow crystals and ice lakes. Why stop there, Audi? Perhaps a touch of Arctic charm with polar bears and penguins would have been the cherry on top.

Violet detailing adds a splash of flair, drawing inspiration from the vibrant blue hues of oversized winter athlete sunglasses (or those worn by weekend warriors who once braved a slope). Dark privacy glass and 21-inch black alloys complete the exterior transformation.

Inside, the winter theme continues with a captivating diamond silver and black seat design, perfectly complemented by violet stitching. Fine Nappa leather extends its luxury touch across the center console, instrument panel, and doors. Even the floor mats get in on the action with diamond silver and violet stitching, though they might opt for an autumnal vibe after a few trips to the park.

In case you missed the memo that this is no ordinary ride, the infotainment screen boldly states the specific model number out of the exclusive 99. Plus, enjoy upgraded seat ventilation, massage functionality, and an overhauled Bang & Olufsen audio system with a head-up display.

However, fear not electric speed demons, as the 'Ice Race' edition's changes are purely cosmetic. The e-tron GT's two electric motors and 84kWh battery still pack a punch, delivering 637bhp and 612lb ft of torque to the quattro all-wheel-drive system. The driving range remains a respectable 295 miles, though the fancy paintwork might chip away a few miles—maybe three or four—especially when the heater is in full swing. Perhaps even 50 if you're feeling extra toasty!
