Audi of America has announced the launch of a limited edition of just 75 units of the 2023 Audi RS e-tron GT project_513/2. Developed in collaboration between Audi of America and Audi exclusive, this exclusive offering allows customers to drive a version of the e-tron GT that closely resembles the prototype car.
The RS e-tron GT project_513/2 is the first Audi to offer a camouflage graphics-skinned and wrapped exterior from the factory, which is often used for initial testing. This limited edition leverages the original design used for global prototype testing with “e-tron” camouflage script on both the exterior and interior, and is exclusive to the U.S. market.
To underscore the exclusivity of the project, the internal code name has been used as a special edition. The project_513/2 represents the project naming convention which defines the product’s segment, generation, and body style. This naming is crafted early in the development process and is typically kept internal.

The exterior design features red and black colors used on the original prototype test mules, and for the first time, the RS e-tron GT project_513/2 presents “red” Audi rings on the front and rear of the exterior. Unique 21-inch aero wheels finished in black are framed with both front and rear ceramic brakes painted in red. The rear quarter glass is etched with the “project_513/2” logo to further emphasize its exclusivity.
The interior is inspired by its exterior colors and design elements using red and black colored accents as well as Audi exclusive interior elements unique to the edition. The dashboard introduces an Audi design first – Carbon fiber inlays with camo graphics that mimic the exterior design. These graphics include an innovative “partial matting” patented process, which is just a few thousandths of a millimeter deep, all primarily created by hand.
The RS e-tron GT project_513/2 leverages the thrilling performance of the RS e-tron GT – Audi’s fastest 0-60 mph accelerating production model. Performance comes from two different motors producing a combined 637 horsepower – making acceleration to 60 mph possible in just 3.1 seconds. Enhancing performance and precision handling at all speeds, the project_513/2 comes with standard rear wheel steering.
Audi of America has also introduced an e-tron GT camouflage Indoor car cover for sale, which holds the same camouflage wrap available on the RS e-tron GT project_513/2 and is made from a breathable and anti-static material, tailored specifically to fit your e-tron GT.

To celebrate the exclusivity of each individual project_513/2, customers will receive a never before offered special edition VIN art. The VIN art portraits are printed on a thin aluminum plate with a high-gloss surface and are derived from the Vehicle Identification Number – exhibiting a detailed art print expression of the customer’s vehicle in high-resolution for display.
The 2023 Audi RS e-tron GT project_513/2 is slated to be on sale this spring, and with just 75 units available, this exclusive offering is sure to sell out quickly.
