There was not much excitement about a new Audi at some point. Currently, it is only concept, but the two -seat sports car is scheduled to become a model of production in 2027. With the new clean and most high -end interior design language built of high -quality materials, the Concept C aims to present the same image that TT provides in the late 1990s.
There is only one hunting: you will not find a combustion engine below those elegant horizontal slides in the back, and there are no cylinders hidden under the hood of the generous size. We asked Audi If it has any plans to develop the ICE version, especially after the reports suggested that the alternative -working alternative in business. The answer was no.

Daniel Schuster, Spokesman for Technical Development, closed rumors of the combustion engine Concept c. In a statement to Motor1He confirmed that the performance machine will be sold exclusively as EV. He also revealed that the car will be installed on a newly developed platform “will be shared within the Volkswagen group.”
When reading between the lines, this means that the new model will have more than a few common things with the successor of Porsche to 718. Since Schuster referred to the “future EV platform”, we do not expect Zuffenhausen gas engines in Boxster or Cayman as well. While Porsche will continue to present two distinct models, and are soft and fixed, Audi will take a different approach.
Instead of developing two patterns of the body for TT and R8The sports car will remain faithful to the concept. Audi has confirmed that it will merge the coupe and Roadster into one style, and the car is served exclusively with an electric -withdrawal solid surface. This Targa -like setting uses two roof boards that flounded carefully below the rear deck, which converts the concept C of the Coupe to Roadster. It is actually the first time that Audi has used an electricly drawn solid dam.
CEO Gernot Dölner is confident that the company can make the car that it does not call after a profitable, although the estimated annual sales in the range “very low of five numbers”. He did not rule out the revival of the “TT” badge, but he warned that Audi could choose something else, because the C. concept C is greater. Meanwhile, the chief creative official Massimo Frascella says that the concept already reflects “87 percent” of the final design, so the changes will be minimal.
On paper, Audi’s performance is called scales at 3725 pounds (1,690 kg), or almost such as R8 V10 Spyder Quattro with fluids. The gas version was lighter, but this is outside the table. The C. concept is characterized by the layout of the back wheels, although the new platform can also support the front axx motor for the Quattro electric setting.
We will have a clearer picture of the ready -made concept of production as soon as a Porsche launch The next generation Boxter and CaymanThey are both expected in 2026.
