Audi 2027 EV Sports Car is set to redefine electric luxury performance, offering a bold design, cutting-edge technology, and an all-electric driving experience.
The two-seat performance machine, known for now as the Audi Concept C, is set to hit production in 2027. Audi is promising a clean, futuristic design language, a more premium interior, and plenty of head-turning performance — all without a drop of gasoline.
One Body Style, Two Personalities
Unlike Porsche, which plans to maintain each coupe and convertible versions of the next-gen Boxster and Cayman, Audi is taking a easier approach. The idea C will merge coupe and roadster into one slick package with an electrically retractable hardtop.

This clever targa-style roof uses two panels that tuck neatly under the rear deck. In seconds, the car transforms from a sleek coupe to an open-air roadster — the first time Audi has ever offered a power-folding hardtop.
Built on Porsche’s Next EV Platform
Audi’s Concept C will ride on a brand-new Volkswagen Group platform that it will share with Porsche’s upcoming 718 EV replacements. While Audi confirmed its car will launch exclusively as a rear-wheel-drive model, the platform can support a front-axle motor — meaning a dual-motor Quattro EV is very likely in the pipeline.
On paper, the Concept C weighs around 3,725 pounds, which is about the same as an R8 V10 Spyder. Sure, an ICE version would’ve been lighter, but Audi’s made it clear — there won’t be one.
A Spiritual Successor to the TT and R8
CEO Gernot Döllner says the Concept C could bring the same kind of image boost that the TT delivered back in the late ’90s. Audi hasn’t locked in a name yet, but reviving the TT badge isn’t completely off the table. Still, the Concept C is bigger and more upscale, so it may debut under a fresh badge.
Audi’s design boss Massimo Frascella revealed that the show car already reflects about 87% of the production model’s design, so what you see is almost what you’ll get.
Why This Audi Matters
Audi hasn’t launched this much excitement around a new sports car in years. By going EV-only, the brand is signaling a bold new chapter — one that blends its performance heritage with electric innovation.

Final Thoughts
The Audi Concept C may not roar like an R8 or sing like a TT RS, but it’s shaping up to be one of the most important cars in Audi’s modern history. It blends futuristic EV performance with a unique design twist that could make it a head-turner in both coupe and roadster form.
By the time it arrives in 2027, the electric sports car market will be heating up — and Audi clearly wants to make sure it has a star player in the lineup.
