The Audi TT successor is finally starting to take shape. The Concept C, unveiled a few months ago, may have served as a dress rehearsal for the comeback of Ingolstadt’s much-loved sports coupe.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting any sign of a TT revival, with rumors suggesting the new coupe could arrive as early as 2027. Prototypes have already been spotted on public roads, indicating that the car’s underlying architecture is at least partially production-ready.
Beyond the styling, the TT’s rebirth is expected to embrace the latest technology while remaining true to the dynamic character that has defined the coupe since 1998. Early reports indicate that the new generation will be fully electric, incorporating cutting-edge technology possibly shared with Porsche.
Although details remain limited, anticipation is building as more information emerges. Even at this early stage, the TT successor is already shaping up to be an exciting evolution of an automotive icon. Here’s what we know.
What Will It Be Called?
That may sound like a straightforward question: Audi's TT successor will be called the TT, right? Not exactly. The German automaker has already said that, while the Concept C will almost certainly spawn a TT-sized production sports car, it won’t carry the TT name.
Audi CEO Gernot Döllner told Top Gear, "It will not have the TT name." So, we’ll have to wait and see what Audi’s new sports car will be called when it reaches production.
What Will Audi’s New Sports Car Look Like?
In terms of design, our rendering closely follows the Concept C. The proportions are unmistakably coupe-like, with a sculpted front end, clean profile lines, and a flowing silhouette that reflects Audi’s latest design language.
While the mirrors may become slightly more conventional and a few details could be refined, the overall look already feels close to the final model. This TT successor could even set the tone for Audi’s new visual identity, influencing the brand’s sedans, SUVs, and wagons in the years to come.
What Will Power It?
The Audi TT’s successor will be fully electric and built on an 800-volt architecture. Details on the powertrain remain scarce, but rumors suggest a possible collaboration within the Volkswagen Group.
The new sports car could share its platform with the upcoming electric Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman. This would make sense, as developing separate architectures for two low-volume sports cars is extremely costly. A partnership with Porsche would also allow Audi to retain a mid-engine-style layout, keeping the dynamic character that defined the outgoing TT.
If the Concept C layout carries over to production, the batteries won’t sit under the floor but between the seatbacks and rear axle. This mirrors the setup of mid-engine sports cars, ensuring ideal weight distribution and a lower driving position. More powerful versions could feature dual motors, while entry-level variants might use a single rear motor.
When Will We See It?
Audi’s new sports car could debut in 2027, if we’re lucky. Rumors point to an early-year launch, with an on-sale date later in 2027. For now, we’ll have to wait for more details—but Audi’s rumored TT successor is already shaping up to be an exciting evolution of a classic.
