The Audi TT successor is finally starting to take shape. The Concept C, unveiled late last year, offered an early glimpse of the return of Ingolstadt’s beloved sports coupe.

Enthusiasts have been watching closely for any hint of a TT revival, with reports pointing to a possible debut as soon as 2027. Prototypes have already been spotted testing on public roads, suggesting that at least part of the car’s underlying architecture is well on its way to being production-ready.

Beyond its design, the reborn TT is expected to showcase the latest technology while staying true to the character that has defined the coupe since 1998. We know that this new sports car will be fully electric, sharing advanced components and technology with Porsche.

While many details are still under wraps, there’s still plenty to be excited about. Even at this early stage, the TT successor is shaping up to be a compelling evolution of an automotive icon. Here’s what we know so far.

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.

How Much Will It Cost?

It’s still way too early for official pricing, but don’t expect Audi’s new sports car to be cheap. The TT cost just over $53,000 in its final model year, but this EV successor is expected to be even pricier. Our best guess is somewhere in the $70,000 to $75,000 range, as Audi is positioning the coupe as more of a halo car than the TT.

When Will We See It?

Audi’s new sports car should debut in 2027. There were rumors that the sports car may have been cancelled, given Porsche’s backtracking on its own EV sports car—but it’s not true. CEO Gernot Döllner confirmed that the electric sports car is still happening, saying that "the delivery of the platform by Porsche is not in question," adding that Audi and Porsche are “proceeding in good collaboration.”
