The Coupé-Cabrio lives on
With the Concept C, Audi recently sent a very strong signal. The Audi Concept C introduced new design and served as a precursor to a new sporty model. We now know more about that.
At the IAA exhibition floor in early September, Audi parked a concept car that served multiple functions. The Audi Concept C provided insight into future Audi design, but also served as a preview of a model that will actually go into production. Audi repeats this once more, but that’s not all. Audi says that the production version of the Concept C will be a coupé-cabrio, just like the study model. Indeed: the steel folding or sliding roof is back!
We don’t yet know what the production version of the Audi Concept C will be called. However, this electric coupe-cabrio will look very similar to its conceptual predecessor. Audi had previously stated that the production version and the Concept C are barely distinguishable from a distance of about 50 meters. To emphasize this, Audi is already releasing a set of photos of a Concept C with (German) license plates. Particularly at the front, this looks somewhat unusual. That’s because Audi has placed a short German plate in the Concept C’s front fascia.
In terms of dimensions, the 4.52-meter-long Concept C falls between the last TT and R8. Both models are no longer in production. In a way, this duo finds its successor in one model. Here you can read and see (much) more about the Audi Concept C.
More from the past
The Concept C is filled with design influences from models of the past. That Audi has rediscovered its past is also evident from the fact that the German brand is working on a new electric model that incorporates design elements from the Audi A2. You can read more about that here.
