Audi Reveals Concept C, Near-Production Electric Sports Car Due in 2027

The low-volume two-seater debuts a simplified design language featuring a vertical frame grille plus a new four‑element lighting signature.

Overview

  • Unveiled in Milan ahead of a public showing at IAA Mobility in Munich, the Concept C previews a production model Audi says will closely match the show car.
  • CEO Gernot Döllner projects a 2027 on-sale date with a very low five‑digit global volume and pricing between the discontinued TT and R8, while stressing it is not a TT successor.
  • Audi officials indicate the car uses an 800V architecture and shares key elements with Porsche’s forthcoming electric 718, with rear‑wheel‑drive and all‑wheel‑drive variants planned.
  • Sports‑car packaging includes a centrally mounted battery that enables a rearward cabin and low seating position, plus a first‑for‑Audi electrically retractable two‑piece hardtop.
  • The cabin follows a 'shy tech' approach with anodized aluminum physical controls, a fold‑away 10.4‑inch infotainment screen, haptic steering inputs, and wool/recycled textiles.
