The concept car, inspired by the brand&#8217;s iconic 1930s Auto Union Type C race car, boasts a striking retro-futuristic aesthetic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This design departure marks a &#8220;radical next&#8221; for Audi, moving away from the large touchscreen-dominated interiors seen in recent models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Concept C&#8217;s interior is a minimalist masterpiece, prioritizing physical controls over large touchscreens. While a 10.4-inch touchscreen is integrated, it cleverly retracts behind the dashboard when not in use, maintaining a clean and uncluttered look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The focus is on tactile, high-quality physical buttons and rotary dials, providing a strong sense of weight and feedback. This design philosophy, described by Audi as the &#8220;Audi click,&#8221; prioritizes a driver-centric experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Externally, the Concept C echoes the sleek lines of the classic Auto Union Type C, featuring an upright grille and a tapered silhouette. Interestingly, this design choice results in the omission of a rear window, echoing the Polestar 4&#8217;s unconventional design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the inclusion of digital rear-view mirrors, side mirrors, and windshield wipers suggests a production-ready orientation. The Concept C is also noteworthy for its folding hardtop convertible roof, a first for Audi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While details on the powertrain remain scarce, Audi confirms the Concept C is a rear-wheel-drive electric vehicle. The company hints at future variants incorporating its Quattro all-wheel-drive system and a potential range of powertrains, including hybrid and internal combustion engines, reflecting the brand&#8217;s strategic approach to the transition to electric mobility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speculation suggests potential underpinnings shared with Porsche&#8217;s upcoming electric 718, but Audi remains tight-lipped about production plans and potential launch dates. The Concept C, however, strongly suggests a future production model that could recapture the magic of the beloved TT roadster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key points Audi has unveiled the Concept C in Milan, signaling a radical shift in its design language and a renewed focus on electric and&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-product"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25809"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25809\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
