Audi Concept C electric sports car not cancelled, says company

Audi denies reports of cancelling the Concept C, its upcoming electric two-door sports car. Learn about the model's features, rumors, and expected debut.

Audi has denied reports suggesting the possible cancellation of its new Concept C sports car, which is set to become the brand's first two-door sports model in a long time. Company spokesperson Daniel Schuster stated that information about the project's termination is speculative and declined to confirm any changes to the plans.

These rumors emerged amid discussions about the future of the electric Porsche Boxster and Cayman. German media speculated that if Porsche were to abandon these models due to high costs and technical challenges, the Audi project could also be at risk, as the vehicles are expected to share Volkswagen Group's common electric platform.

Audi had previously confirmed that the production version of the Concept C will be fully electric, with no internal combustion engine variants. The model is planned exclusively as a two-seater with a retractable targa-style electric roof, without a fixed-roof version.

According to sources, if Porsche were to drop its electric sports cars, Audi would face either closing the project or continuing development independently, which would require investments of hundreds of millions of euros. Despite this, the company currently sees no reason to revise its strategy.

The production version of the Concept C is expected to join the sports car lineup, with its debut potentially occurring by the end of next year, provided plans remain unchanged.
