When Audi mentioned a new sports car while interviewing German magazine, we were pleasantly surprised. Blood Just a month ago, CEO Grint Dilner described it as “TT Moment 2.0” for Angolistadt, hoping that its original tourist trophy would have a similar effect in the 1990s. However, it will not be a direct TT alternative, nor will it be a new R8.
So, then what is it? Somewhere between TT and R8 is “extremely emotional sports car”. Unlike your predecessors, this new performance model will be completely electric. Audi has launched a teaser campaign on social media, though it has not shown any details of the mystery. What he has revealed is the design, and it is not just about TT.
Aus concept, which is featured in us Imagine we forgot The series, a reference point. Earlier, the R8-R8 was a real super car in terms of spirit, even if the W-12 engine behind the seats was for the show only. Wrapped in aluminum’s body, he debuted at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1991, which was sent to the quarter system through more than 500 horsepower six -speed manual.
Audi also further indicated the auto union era. In particular, Type C and Type D Race cars, with their supercharged V -16 and V -12 engines, which dominate the racing in the mid -1930s. Legendary drivers like Tizio Noolori and Brand Rossemeer piloted them for glory, later Audi celebrated with the ideas of names.

What do they all have to do with Audi’s new concept? It is said that the next sports EV is “struggling for explanation” with a fresh, clutter design. It looks like it is a “low” point of view, and nowadays digest a sharp style for a cleaner. Expect to be larger than TT but smaller than R8, which has mid -engine -like ratio and potentially coup slam.
We will acknowledge that imaginative cars are rarely passionate to us, especially electric, but Audi’s boss insists that it will reach production. After a public exhibition of this concept at this month’s IAA Mobility Show in Munich, the road ready EV will begin within two years. According to Dilner, this model will make “new Audi” statue not only with fresh style but also with hardware that was not used by the brand previously.
Within it, the material is expected to take one step from the existing four color models. Oscar Da Silva Martins, head of Product and Technology Communications in Audi, admitted Motor 1 Germany This standard is slippery: “We have definitely improved in terms of quality in the past, but we will be there again.” Audi, when you’re on it, maybe you also bring back the button?
The question that is not answered is whether the new two door of Audi will share its underpanings with the upcoming boxter/Cayman EV in Porsche. Developing two separate platforms for niche sports cars will be expensive, while a joint program will help the Volkswagen Group achieve the scale economies. As far as combustion engines are concerned, they all have rules by eliminating harsh European extraction but reject them. These days, developing powerful gas engines is a trouble that compliance with the EU’s Draconian legislation.
Nevertheless, both Audi and Porsche have recently relocated their expensive EV goals, acknowledging that it will take longer than the transfer plan. This means that Angolastadt and Zofin House will continue to build the ice model well in the next decade.
