The Audi Foundation is raffling another vehicle to raise funds for a range of its charity partners, and this time it’s one of Audi’s most expensive vehicles.
For the Foundation’s 13th raffle, ticket holders have a chance to win an all-electric Audi RS e-tron GT in Daytona Grey, valued at $299,994.71 drive-away.
Raffle tickets cost $55 each with 12,000 available for purchase until Wednesday October 30, 2024 at 5pm AEST. They can be purchased online here.
The raffle is open to all Australian residents 18 years and over.
Winners will be drawn at random from all eligible entrants on Friday November 1 at 3pm AEST, with results to be announced on the Audi Foundation website. Winners will be notified via telephone and in writing.
Proceeds from the raffle go to the Audi Foundation’s charity partners, which include The Smith Family, R U OK?, ReachOut, The Children’s Cancer Institute, Humpty Dumpty Foundation, Youth Opportunities, Zephyr Education Inc and Country Education Foundation of Australia.
The Audi Foundation says it has donated more than $7 million to such charities since its inception in 2017.
Past raffle prizes have included an RS5 Sportback, RSQ3 Sportback, SQ8 TFSI and Q5 Sportback TFSI e.
In RS guise, the e-tron GT – Audi’s flagship electric vehicle – boasts a standard power output of 440kW, while boost mode increases power to a maximum of 475kW. It also produces 830Nm of torque.
The dual-motor all-wheel drive powertrain is fed by a 93kWh lithium-ion battery.
The RS e-tron GT has a claimed 0-100km/h time of 3.3 seconds, alongside a claimed range of around 470km on the WLTP testing cycle.
It’s also capable of charging at up to 270kW on a DC fast charger, and can be charged from five to 80 per cent in a claimed 23 minutes.
Second prize in this year’s raffle is an invitation to an exclusive Audi Foundation dinner and Audi Drive Experience for two at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit.
It includes a private dinner followed by a track day at Phillip Island, where the winners will have the chance to drive Audi’s performance vehicles with the Audi Driving Experience program.
The package is valued at $6541 and includes return flights from the winner’s nearest capital city to Melbourne, accommodation at Crown Towers, and transfers throughout the experience.
“The Audi Foundation embodies our brand’s dedication to making a difference in the Australian community,” said Audi Australia director and Audi Foundation chairman Jeff Mannering.
“Through this raffle, we’re able to continually support charities that are creating meaningful change, and offer ticket holders a chance to win extraordinary prizes. It’s a win-win, and we’re incredibly proud of the impact we’ve made together over the years.”
