Sources: 7. Developments: 2. Audi has introduced the Concept C, an electric sports car project internally known as ‘C-Sport’, as part of a strategic brand reset. Under Creative Director Massimo Frascella, the project aims to revitalize Audi’s identity by prioritizing premium materials and driver-centric ergonomics over excessive touchscreens. To manage the high costs of electric vehicle architecture, Audi will utilize a platform being developed by Porsche for its next-generation electric 718 Boxster and Cayman models. Porsche Chief Financial Officer Jochen Breckner confirmed that Audi is expected to begin paying for the use of this shared hardware, which includes battery placement and cooling systems, in 2027. While the vehicles will share technical foundations, the brands will maintain distinct identities through unique design and motor power. The Audi C-Sport is expected to feature an electric targa roof, positioning it as a spiritual successor to the TT and R8 models. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-28: Audi announces Concept C to revitalize brand identity Audi's new Concept C electric sports car aims to restore brand quality by using Porsche-developed platforms and returning to physical controls and premium materials. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/audi-announces-concept-c-to-revitalize-brand-identity ### 2026-10-28: Porsche to provide platform for Audi C-Sport electric sports car Porsche will supply its next-generation 718 Boxster and Cayman electric platform to Audi for its upcoming ‘C-Sport’ electric sports car to share development costs. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/porsche-to-provide-platform-for-audi-c-sport-electric-sports-car --- Cite as: Audi and Porsche electric sports car collaboration.
