Audi Confirms Concept C Roadster for Production Within Two Years

Audi casts the low-volume electric roadster as a brand reset on Porsche's PPE-Sport platform.

Overview

  • Audi CEO Gernot Döllner confirmed the show car will reach the market in the next two years and dismissed reports of cancellation.
  • Management told staff that Porsche’s delivery of the shared PPE-Sport architecture is not in question, underscoring close Audi–Porsche cooperation.
  • The series model will use the same PPE-Sport platform planned for the next Porsche 718, clarifying earlier speculation tied to Porsche’s program.
  • Design is reported to be about 90% final, with a two-seat layout, an electrically folding Targa hardtop, and a cockpit that returns to physical controls and higher-grade materials.
  • Technical details reported include a 1,690 kg study with a rear motor, a production battery positioned ahead of the rear axle, an AWD dual-motor variant in development, and expected annual volumes in the very low five-digit range.
