Audi's Concept C serves as a sneak peek at a potential adversary for BMW's i4 Coupe.
The automotive world is abuzz with excitement as Audi unveils its latest concept, the Concept C. This all-electric two-seat sports car is a preview of a sports car coming later this decade and is expected to go into production nearly unchanged in 2027.
The Concept C slots between the R8 and the TT in size, boasting mid-engine proportions reminiscent of the R8. Audi's design team has embraced a 'less is more' approach, aiming to revive the elegant simplicity of the original TT. This is evident in the Concept C's vertical grille, a design choice with a legacy dating back to the Auto Union Type C race car in 1936.
The infotainment screen in the Concept C measures 10.4 inches and tucks neatly into the dashboard when not in use. For added convenience, the screen is retractable, while the car's styling should remain true to the show car, despite the production version having door handles and sensors.
Interestingly, the Concept C morphs into an open-top sports car by electrically folding its targa-like panels, providing unlimited headroom. However, Audi has not confirmed any plans for a production i4 Convertible (NA3).
Meanwhile, BMW is making some significant changes in its lineup. The automaker is discontinuing the Z4 and may also discontinue the 4 Series Coupe and Convertible. It is not officially confirmed if BMW will produce an i4 Convertible (NA3). However, a new BMW coupe, codenamed NA2, is expected to be released in 2028.
Audi has phased out the TT and R8, but is planning a coupe comeback with the Concept C. The model, which Audi calls the Audi Concept C, will replace both the internal combustion TT and R8 models as a consolidated electric sports car offering.
It's worth noting that the Concept C is purely electric, with no plans for a combustion engine. This aligns with Audi's commitment to a sustainable future in the automotive industry.
The upcoming BMW iDrive X, on the other hand, ditches the rotary knob between the seats, signalling a shift towards a more digital interface.
The Concept C by Audi is indeed a window into a fresh design language and a promising future for electric sports cars. As we eagerly await its production version, it's clear that the automotive industry is moving towards a more sustainable and innovative future.
