Audi's Upcoming Electric Sports Car Will Share Porsche's Next-Gen 718 Platform

Porsche has confirmed that Audi will build its forthcoming electric sports car on the dedicated architecture powering the upcoming electric 718 Boxster and Cayman. Both sister brands will offer the two-door performance models strictly as battery-electric vehicles, ruling out gas-powered variants entirely. The specialized sports car platform places battery modules behind the seats to maintain mid-engine weight distribution and low-slung proportions.
