Successful Sea2Sky challenge
Iconic
tug
‘banished’
to cruise
ship berth
• By Kristie Boland
REDCLIFFS BUILDER Brad
Richards (above) was not just
a sideline supporter in the
gruelling Sea2Sky Challenge on
Sunday.
Richards, who is the naming
rights sponsor, finished the
17km run challenge in 16th
place out of 48 contestants.
The climb up the Scarborough
Hill steps in the final leg
of the challenge on Sunday was
frequently referred to as “killer”
as athletes crossed the finish
line.
There were 235 finishers,
with more than 15 per cent
of entries lost due to Covid-19
in the days leading up to the
event.
With strict Covid protocols
in place, athletes from around
Canterbury were greeted by
calmer seas than earlier in the
week for the 750m swim off
Scarborough Beach.
The athletes then rode to the
top of the Summit Rd, past Mt
Pleasant, before turning back to
finish at Godley Head.
The final leg of the triathlon
was a trail run to Taylors
Mistake followed by the climb
over Scarborough Hill.
As well as the full triathlon,
there was a 17km run, junior
triathlon, try a triathlon, and a
kids challenge.
Olympian and Commonwealth
Games medallist Andrea Hansen
(nee Hewitt) won the women’s
race and Commonwealth Games
hopeful Saxon Morgan won
the men’s.
TUG LYTTELTON supporters
want the vessel moved to its
original berth, amid a claim it has
been “banished” to the “naughty
corner.”
Naval architect Harry Stronach
wants the vessel relocated to
the berth beside the Diamond
Harbour ferry. The vessel is
currently berthed at the cruise
ship terminal in Lyttelton.
“It has been sent to the naughty
corner for some reason, but we’re
not clear on the reasons,” said
Stronach.
The location change was made
around six months ago.
Stronach, whose company does
the surveys and approvals for the
tug, spoke to the Banks Peninsula
Community Board at its meeting
on Monday.
He highlighted issues the tug is
facing, including berthage, public
accessibility, and the future of the
vessel.
Stronach said it was “banished”
there by the Lyttelton Port
Company.

Former Godley House site
open for tender until June
• By Kristie Boland
BRINGING together multiple
parties to collectively develop a
hospitality site for Godley House
is what Scott Winter is hoping to
achieve.
Last week, the city council
issued tender documents, giving
interested business people until
June 7 to lodge proposals for the
site.
Winter, a
Banks Peninsula
Community
Board member,
is meeting with
several different
parties this week
Scott
Winter
on the historic
site.
“I asked for
anyone that wishes to get behind
a local proposal to get in touch
and the response has been promising,”
said Winter.
He said there has been interest
in the development both locally
and from further afield.
“[There has been] many
offers for services from local
professionals; however, there
has not been one single entity
that has communicated to me
that they have the motivation,
funding and resource to put
together a tender,” Winter said.
In 2019, the city council held
a public consultation with
community members, including
Diamond Harbour School,
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
NEW LIFE: Proposals for use of the former Godley House
site are open for tender until June 7.
residents and local businesses,
asking what they would like to
see on the site.
Feedback was diverse but
an overarching theme was
the desire to have somewhere
to socialise, with 132 people
specifically requesting a licenced
hospitality venue.
Recent posts on the Diamond
Harbour community Facebook
page show residents are clearly
frustrated with how long the
process is taking.
Winter said he felt similar
frustrations, but thought
progress was now being made.
Godley House was built as
a home in the 1880s. In later
years it was as used as a hotel,
restaurant and conference centre.
It is a landmark site in
Diamond Harbour, and an area
with considerable historical
and cultural value in the
development of Banks Peninsula.
The building was damaged
in the earthquakes and later
demolished.
“When Godley House was
damaged in the earthquakes,
it wasn’t just this community
and local businesses that lost a
special place but the whole of
New Zealand.
“Generations to come deserve
to have a place to enjoy and
Christchurch City deserves
another unique destination,”
Winter said.

In Brief
FRIDAY’S FIRE CAUSED BY
RUBBISH BURN
A chopper was called in to help get
a fire under control in Duvauchelle
on Friday. The Akaroa Volunteer
Fire Brigade was called to a fire
just after 7pm near Pawsons Valley
Rd. The fire was caused by ashes
blown downhill from a rubbish
burn. Akaroa chief fire officer
Mark Thomsen said the direction
of the wind was in their favour. The
chopper dropped three monsoon
buckets while firefighters worked
on the ground. The fire was under
control by dark.
KERBSIDE SERVICES TO
BE EXTENDED
The city council is proposing to
extend the kerbside collection
service to some additional

Banks Peninsula that currently
only receive a part service. There
are plans to offer a full kerbside
service to all properties accessible
to collection vehicle, between
Cooptown and Gebbies Valley.

Sense of loyalty keeps fire chief turning
Bay Harbour News
continues its series on
our fire chiefs. Reporter
Kristie Boland talks
to Governors Bay
Volunteer Fire Brigade
chief Andrew Norris
READY TO GO: Andrew Norris with his son Alex and daughter Anita. A family affair at the
Governors Bay Volunteer Fire Brigade.
A COMMON theme among
harbour fire chiefs has been that
fighting fires runs in the family,
Andrew Norris’s family is no
exception.
Norris, his daughter Anita and
his son Alex have all served for
the Governors Bay Volunteer
Fire Brigade and all three work
for the emergency services in
their day-to-day jobs.
Norris, 57, begun his firefighting
career around the same time
as Lyttelton’s chief Mark Buckley.
The pair did Sea Venturers
together in their youth.
Like Buckley, Scouts and Venturers
were a big part of Norris’
life growing up in Lyttelton.
Norris is the middle child of
seven siblings. They lost their
mother at a young age and their
father brought them up on his
own.
“Most of our youth was spent
around Sea Scouts. For the old
man it was good because it kept
us kids entertained,” Norris said.
Sea Venturers meant Norris
and his siblings could go camping,
sailing, rowing and do all
the outdoor activities he could
have hoped for growing up.
“I had a really good childhood
and youth with Scouts, I really
enjoyed it, thrived on it,” he said.
A third generation Norris, he
has lived his whole life in the
harbour basin. His father and his
uncles all worked on the wharf.
When Norris finished high
school, he worked for the Canterbury
Savings Bank for a year
then he worked for six years at
J.Voyce as a ship’s providore.
Norris was 20 when he joined
the Lyttelton Volunteer Fire
Brigade with Buckley.
“As a 20-year-old I think it was
the excitement of it all, the thrill,
the big toys, kicking around
with the big boys, that’s what
appealed me at the time,” Norris
said.
Norris doesn’t stray too far
from the emergency services in
his day to day life. He works in
the communications centre at
New Zealand Fire Service in the
city.
He moved from Lyttelton to
Governors Bay with his wife Rita
in 1996 and joined the Governors
Bay brigade.
Norris and Rita have two adult
children Anita, 29, and Alex, 27.
Anita has been a firefighter
for the brigade for 10 years.
She also works full-time with
the Christchurch Airport Fire
Service.
Alex spent four years in the
brigade with his father and sister.
His full-time job is alongside his
father at the Christchurch Justice
and Emergency Services Precinct
as a dispatcher.
Norris said he is very proud to
have had both of his children in
the fire service with him.
“They’ve done extremely well,”
he said.
Norris has been a part of the
Governors Bay brigade for 25
years and has been the chief
since 2009.
It’s a sense of loyalty that has
always kept him there.
“And the thought that you
can actually do something
good. It’s just because I enjoy it,
so that’s why I do it,” Norris
said.
He stresses that his is only one
of many roles that are important
in the brigade.

out for brigade
“I don’t think we give enough
credit to the background
guys. We (chiefs) might be the
recognised ones leading the
brigade but without all those
other people in the background
we wouldn’t have a fire brigade,”
Norris said.
Like the other harbour fire
chiefs, the Port Hills fires and
the earthquakes have stood out
in Norris’ career as something he
will never forget.
One of the first crashes he was
called to as a young volunteer
was a fatal in the Lyttelton
Tunnel.
The crash involved his boss
at the time J Voyce who was
killed.
“That was the first serious
crash I’d been to. That stands
out,” he said.
While Norris has seen a lot of
tragedy in his firefighting career
he doesn’t let things effect him
too much.
“I’m very lucky, I don’t get too
stressed by things,” he said.
The brigade tend to spend a
lot of time socialising together
outside of their work.
The small community has 25
volunteers in the brigade.
“The community has to
provide the firemen, and that’s
what this community has
done in spades, we’ve done really
well. We have 25 people in this
small space and it’s a credit to
them.’’
Norris said the “invisible
people” in the brigade and in any
volunteer roles don’t get enough
credit.
“Sometimes people might
forget when the fire bell wakes
them at one in the morning,
there’s 20 or so people getting
out of bed and going to help
somebody,” Norris said.
•Next week we talk to Little
River’s John Genefass
(Left to right) – Andrew Norris, Tony Lightburn, Mark Buckley and Ross Clements in the
early 1980s during their Sea Venturers days.
Children’s centre to
benefit from fundraiser
AN ONLINE arts sale will
mean at least $75,000 for the
Cholmondeley Children’s Centre.
Sculpture on the Peninsula had
to cancel its show a week before
it was scheduled to be held when
New Zealand went into red light
settings in late January.
Organiser Gill Hay said within
a week, more than 2000 photos
had been taken and the items
catalogued and loaded to online
art sales website NZArtbroker.
“Everything had been going
beautifully and we were so
organised, and then we got the
news. It was all hands to the
pump to make sure we could
honour the sculptors that had
done so much already, and to
continue to support the children
of Cholmondeley,” she said.
Thanks to overwhelming public
support, the online event generated
the highest level of sales
in the event’s 22-year history. But
overall takings were still significantly
down due to a number of
fixed costs and the loss of gate
and food and beverage sales.
“Still, we were astounded by
the generosity of the hundreds of
opening night ticket-holders, sponsors
and suppliers who donated
their tickets or fees,” Hay said.
The $75,000 donation is likely
to be increased later this year
once the trust that organises the
event is wound up. The January
event was to be the last for Sculpture
on the Peninsula.
“While we’re disappointed
we weren’t able to finish with a
final event, we’re proud to have
sustained the legacy of Sculpture
on the Peninsula for so many
years, and we are so grateful to
the sculptors, volunteers and
sponsors who have enabled us
to support Cholmondeley for so
long,” Hay said.
Sculpture on the Peninsula has
raised more than $825,000 for
Cholmondeley Children’s Centre
since the event began in January
2000.

Community board’s assistance sought
• From page 1
“It’s very hard to operate
and maintain the vessel over
there,” Stronach said.
LPC bulk cargo and marine
services general manager Paul
Monk said the reason for the
move of the Tug Lyttelton to
its current location in the inner
harbour is that the company
have needed to berth larger
vessels on jetty 2, the previous
location of the tug.
Stronach
said the current
location
removed the
important
connection
between the
Harry
Stronach
vessel and the
township by
not having it
publicly accessible.
While discussions with the
port company about this are
being had, Stronach said they
may need the board’s assistance
on it.
He wants to see the vessel
moved back to the town berth
beside the Diamond Harbour
ferry.
Said Monk: “We worked
with the preservation society
last year to facilitate this move
after their dry-docking, and
LPC provided new gangways
to make the move possible. We
also provide transportation

gangs, and the tug is brought
back to the jetty 2 location by
the Diamond Harbour ferry to
pick-up and drop-off passengers
when it is making trips.”
Stronach said they would
like to find a permanent berth
in the inner harbour the public
can access and where it can
be properly maintained.
Monk did not say if LPC
would consider moving the
vessel back to the original
location.
Community board member
Scott Winter asked what the
reason is for wanting the
vessel in a publicly accessible
place.
Stronach said the society
has a maintenance day every
Thursday. The public being
able to go down to the wharf
to see the vessel makes it part
of the township.
He said the LPC has been
“very supportive” over the
years and they do not charge
for berthage.
“But it’s just having the

tug over at said berth has
proved to be impractical and
increased the costs and made
it all the more difficult,” said
Stronach.
Community board
chairwoman Tori Peden said
Stronach and the preservation
society has the support of the
board. It would be sending a
letter of support.
The society is still
considering options to move
away from using coal to an

International recognition for snack bar
• By Kristie Boland
WHEN DAVID Dunn
received an email last week
that his snack bars had been
named as “one of the best” by
leading American outdoor
magazine Backpacker, he
danced around the room.
The Crafty Weka Bar,
made in Ferrymead, has been
recognised globally as one of
the best backpacking foods of
2022.
Dunn and his wife Clare, of
Sumner, are “ecstatic” about
the recognition.
“It was a little bit numbing
for me, we got ahead of any
other snack bar in the whole
American market just through
that magazine. They could
have picked anything,” Dunn
said.
“I danced around the office,”
he said.
The couple owned a bakery,
The Kookery Nook. For 30
years, they honed their craft
and developed a passion for
food development.
As a respite from bakery
life, Dunn spent time on his
bicycle where his mates were
constantly asking him to craft
a bar that would give them
sustained energy.
So he did.
The bars are hand-crafted
and sustainably packaged,
ideal for sports, lunches and
snacks-on-the-go.
“The very nature of a
startup is that you have to
push incredibly hard to be
successful to get in front of

and

bars.
your competitors,” Dunn
said.
That has proved true for
Dunn as the business expands
offshore as their bars are in
demand.
The bars are exported to the
United States and Australia.
“You’ve got to have the
people that you’re feeding
it to tell you you’ve got a
great product, when you’ve
got that, that’s when you know
you’ve got something,” Dunn
said.
And Backpacker magazine
has done just that.
“Every win no matter how
big or small is a win for me,”
Dunn said.

Godwits soon
to return
to Alaska
EASTERN bar-tailed godwits
are preparing to take flight, leave
the estuary, and return home to
Alaska.
After spending the summer
here, the little birds are currently
feeding themselves up to gain
enough weight to make the
14,000km journey back to Alaska.
Adult male birds are
changing their feathers to
display a ‘breeding plumage’ in
readiness to impress the females
for another breeding season in
Alaska.
When the sun, the moon, the
tides and the wind direction are
‘lined up’ the birds will take off.
Nobody knows when exactly that
will be but records show it will be
any day during the first few weeks
in March.
Last week, more than 1000
godwits were spotted on the
estuary said Avon-Heathcote
Estuary Ihutai Trust manager,
Tanya Jenkins. She said there was
“distinct restlessness” among the
birds showing signs that they are
ready to go any day.
At a steady 70km/h they fly to
the Yellow Sea coast in China and
Korea to refuel before continuing
to Alaska where spring will
provide food supply and nesting
space.
AKAROA IS one step closer to
having a new nature play area in
the Garden of Tāne.
Consultation on the concept
plan opened last week and will
run through until March 28.
The concept plan for the play
area includes balancing logs,
bamboo musical chimes, a woven
timber walkway and a ‘folly’
hut made of local macrocarpa
and kanuka.
A public domain
since 1874,
the Garden of
Tāne features an
extensive collection
of mature
specimen trees
planted in its
early years and
is home to an
expanding number of native
species.
Under the proposal, an existing
play area near the main
entrance to the reserve would
be extended to include the new
additions and surface mulch
added to allow for the balancing
and climbing activities.
Drawings and carvings of
insects with their te reo Māori
names will be included along
with illustrations and kowhaiwhai
patterns on the hut.
The plan has been developed
by the Garden of Tāne management
committee in conjunction

Treasures from the past:
Lyttelton Marine Band
ON THE night of
February 19, 1902, the
Lyttelton Marine Band,
friends, and supporters
gathered in the Naval
Artillery Orderly Room for
a ‘Smoke Concert’.
A strictly mens-only
concern, much tobacco
and aperitifs were
consumed with the
musical accompaniment
and toasts to the King,
the Governor and his
Parliament, and the brave
Volunteers of the Lyttelton
Naval Corps.
Founding bandmaster
Mr George E Collins was
also well toasted before
presenting the Drum-
Major Mr W Toomey
with the gold medal the
band won at the recent
Christchurch marching
competition.
Mr Collins was then
himself presented with a
‘silver-mounted travelling
bag’ by the assembled band
members in appreciation of
his good works in getting
the band up to a national
standard of practice.
George Collins would
go on to lead the Lyttelton
Marine in taking a very
respectable fourth place
in the 1903 New Zealand
National Championships
(A Grade) that were held
that year in Timaru.
In the years before
World War 1, the Lyttelton
Marine Band would continue
to delight audiences
in and around Canterbury
under the steady hands
of conductors Mr J Cummins
and then Mr W S
King. The 1910 era band
are seen here in our first
photograph in full pressed
uniforms, instruments in
hand alongside their lady
admirers and a chap in a
bowler hat.
That year the band took
fourth place in the New
Zealand National Championships
(A Grade) playing
Wagner at His Majesty’s
Theatre in Dunedin.
Two years later, the
Lyttelton Marine easily
overcame rivals Oamaru
Regimental to take out
first prize in the 1912
New Zealand National
Championships (B Grade)
performing Rossini in
front of a local audience at
the Christchurch Showgrounds.
Then in October of
that same year they took
third prize in the A Grade
Championships at the
Caledonian Grounds in
Dunedin with Puccini’s
Madame Butterfly.
After a break during
World War 1 the Lyttelton
Marine Band reformed
and in 1925 performed for

the 75th anniversary of
the 1850 arrival of the first
four ships carrying the
Canterbury Association’s
settlers – as pictured here
in our second photograph
and including band members
Messrs Demicelli and
Claude Plimmer. The band
would continue on playing
for some decades to come,
being a fixture at town
events such as the 1932
Lyttelton Harbour Festival
of Lights, before reforming
yet again after World War
2 in 1946 with its long
serving bandmaster Mr F J
Oakley at the helm.
The Lyttelton Marine
Band marched on valiantly
through the 50s until their
last known performance
in the National Championships
on March 7,
1960. In front of a home
crowd at Lancaster Park,
Christchurch, conducted
by Oakley, the Lyttelton
Marine came in at 11th

anniversary of the
arrival of the first four
ships (1925)
place in the D Grade
Quickstep March of the
New Zealand National
Championships, and well
behind the first placed Upper
Hutt Municipal Band.
Following this denouement,
the Lyttelton Marine
continued playing on the
regional stage and included
a junior band with Graham
Rich conducting, with
the juniors continuing
after the senior band went
into recess in 1968.
Bob Hopkins conducted
the junior band from 1971
to 1973 at which point it
also went into recess.
Finally, Stan Carson
reformed the Lyttelton
Marine Band and
remained conductor
through to 1980 when the
band’s assets were vested
with the Lyttelton Borough
Council.
After the council mergers
and a number of years,
the band’s music library
and musical instruments
were purchased by the
New Brighton Silver Band.
The glory days of the
Lyttelton Marine Band
and its Smoke Concerts
are now long gone, as is
the band itself, but its
spirit lives on in the still
very musical port town it
proudly represented for so
many decades.

Mothers And Daughters
by Erica James
Even happy families have their secrets…
ENTER TO
WIN
A sweeping family drama of old secrets and new beginnings
from the Sunday Times bestselling author Erica James… Since
the sudden death of her husband, Naomi has steadily rebuilt the
life they shared in the village of Tilsham by the sea.
Her eldest daughter, Martha, is sensible and determined – just like
her father was – and very much in control of where her life is going. If she
could just get pregnant with her husband, life would be perfect.
Willow, the youngest, was always more sunny and easy-going, yet drifted through life,
much to her father’s frustration. But now, with charming new boyfriend, Rick, she has a
very good reason to settle down.
The three women are as close as can be. But there are things Naomi has kept from her
daughters. Like the arrival of Ellis, a long-lost friend from way back, now bringing the
fun and spark back into her life. And she’s certainly never told them that her marriage to
their father wasn’t quite what it seemed…
The Sunday Times bestselling author Erica James returns with this gloriously compelling
tale of mothers and daughters, secrets and love.

The Tricky Art of Forgiveness
by Meredith Jaffe
After thirty years of marriage, can there be any secrets left? The charming new novel
from the author of The Dressmakers of Yarrandarrah Prison
Diana Forsyth is in the midst of planning the Big Party, a combined celebration of her
husband Will’s 60th and their 30th wedding anniversary. The whole family is flying in
and unbeknownst to Will, Diana is planning a Big Surprise.
But then she finds a torn scrap of paper hidden inside the folds of one of his cashmere
sweaters, with the words, I forgive you. And all of a sudden, Diana realises she’s not the
only one keeping Big Secrets.
As empty nesters who have just downsized from the family home, she and Will are
supposed to be embracing a new promise of glorious freedom - not revisiting a past
that Diana has worked very hard to leave behind.
A witty, poignant and insightful exploration of marriage: the choices we make - or don’t
make, the resentments we hold, the lies we tell and what forgiveness really means.

Electric Audi the silent slayer
SOME OF MY most memorable
driving experiences have been in
Audi’s performance cars.
If you add together the fabulous
five-cylinder turbo Quattro
coupe, the RS’ with those freerevving
V8s, and S8 and R8/V10
then you’d have to say I’ve been
very lucky to have been behind
the wheel of those high power
petrol engines.
Well, today’s performance
car from the Audi stable is no
longer confined to petrol engines.
Audi has joined the electric
revolution and it’s fair to say the
RS e-tron GT in every sense of
the word is a true performance
car, and it needs to be wearing
the RennSport badge, which
loosely translated means racing
sport.
However, the e-tron GT has
style and practicality on its side
as well, it has a trendy coupe-type
design along with four-doors,
well five if you take into account
the rear liftback. Incidentally,
there is a wealth of cargo space
under the liftback, and if you fill
that up there’s also a small cargo
compartment under the front
bonnet.
Inside, the RS e-tron GT is
laid out sporty but comfortable,
the seats are body gripping,
and being a large car space is
generous. It sits low on the road
(1.4m) which means you do have
to fold yourself in a little on entry,
and getting out does tax the hips
a bit if they are well worn like
mine.
Nevertheless, that’s a small
price to pay, for the RS e-tron
is a sports car of true genius,
and five years ago I never would
have thought I’d be saying things
like that about an electric car.
Audi has grasped technology by
the scruff of the neck and has
built a simply amazing sports car
that goes every bit as well as it
looks.
Take the figures, for example,
the RS e-tron GT has power
outputs of 440kW and 830Nm,
channelled immediately through a
two-speed gearbox to two motors,
one up front and one over the rear
axle, giving the car a Quattro-type
feel through four-wheel-drive. A
3.3sec claim to make 100km/h
from a standstill makes it one of
the fastest cars I’ve driven, and its
acceleration doesn’t wilt until it
reaches 250km/h (not that I drove
that fast).
These are most impressive
speeds for a car that weighs
in at over 2.2-tonne, yet the
amazing statistics don’t end
there. Audi claims a 472km
driving range; of course, that’s
best possible usage and factors
that must be considered such
as air temperature, the number
of occupants, a steady throttle
FLOWING: The RS e-tron GT’ is a big car at almost 5m but
it feels constantly sporty.
AUDI RS e-tron GT: Fully electric performance car with a 3.3sec time to make 100km/h
from a standstill.
application, flat roads and little
wind resistance
However, I have to report
that during my time with the
evaluation car, diminishing
battery levels was never a
consideration. It was at full
capacity when I picked up the
vehicle, and even with just a little
bit of trickle charging using the
domestic supply cable (three-pin)
there was never a point where I
was worried about its range.
For the record, Audi also claim
a 5min charge from a designated
charge port will glean you 100km
in distance, while a 23min charge
will see the batteries reach 80
per cent maximum from five per
cent.
For me, though, the RS
e-tron was all about the driving
experience, it moves like a rocket
when the accelerator is depressed,
there are several drive modes, one
that can be tailored individually.
Acceleration is clean, smooth
and, of course, fast.
There’s one other factor
that must be mentioned and
that is the sound, well lack of
it really, the electric whine is
constantly prevalent, but it’s just
background noise, it is far from
overbearing and quite tuneful
to listen to. If you get feisty with
the accelerator there is a louder

• Configuration – Electric
motors, four-wheeldrive,
440kW, 830Nm,
two-speed automatic
• Performance – 0-100km/h,
3.3sec
sound that increases through
interior and exterior speakers
but even then it is well subdued.
It’s fair to say though that if you
want a hurricane type sound
on acceleration that can be
engineered into the car.
Our long straight roads make
it difficult to get a feel for the RS
e-tron’s handling, but there are a
few corners which suited it near
Coes Ford. Because it sits low
there is little body movement,
and with huge 21in wheels and
tyres that wouldn’t be out of place
on a formula one car, the e-tron
sits wonderfully composed in a
corner with direct turn-in and no
movement off-line. It is superbly
accurate and a joy to guide
through a corner.
Of course, when you apply
throttle out of a corner, it
simply grips up and charges like
a dynamo to the next; midrange
acceleration is simply
invigorating. And when it
comes time to slow down for
the next corner, huge brakes
offer high pedal feel and intense
deceleration.
To be fair, I didn’t drive the RS
e-tron GT to anywhere near its
potential, for one I didn’t want to
risk my licence, while for another
it is a car that deserves respect
with its $273,500 price tag. The
evaluation car was also carrying
a few extra goodies that added
almost another $10k to that
figure.
That’s a big outlay but I can
report you get a lot of car and
a lot of specification, it has
everything the modern car
buyer would want and it simply
fits like a glove, everything is
intuitive.
If you want to join the electric
revolution but want performance
as well, then that is the market
Audi is looking for. They’ve
even made it easy if the price
tag heading toward $300k is
prohibitive, there’s a non RS
model that sits at just below
$200k. Its performance is just as
inviting, it misses out on little to
the racing sport variant and looks
just as exciting.
