This is the most important Audi in two decades—and we drove it. The Audi Concept C is a folding-hardtop electric roadster that marks the beginning of a new era for the brand. Spearheaded by design chief Massimo Frascella and fast-tracked by CEO Gernot Döllner, this drivable concept introduces Audi’s Radical Simplicity design language and a new “shy” interior that ditches plastic for tactile luxury and brings back the brand’s iconic precision “click.” With more than 500 horsepower, an 800-volt architecture, and rear-wheel drive, the Concept C feels every bit the spiritual successor to the R8—and a hint at the future Boxster EV from Porsche. It’s quick, beautifully balanced, and built to redefine how an electric sports car should look and drive.
