We Drove the Most Important Audi in 20 Years: Meet the Concept C

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5aDRQGO2m8

This is the most important Audi in two decades—and we drove it.
The Audi Concept C is a folding-hardtop electric roadster that marks the beginning of a new era for the brand. Spearheaded by design chief Massimo Frascella and fast-tracked by CEO Gernot Döllner, this drivable concept introduces Audi’s Radical Simplicity design language and a new “shy” interior that ditches plastic for tactile luxury and brings back the brand’s iconic precision “click.”
With more than 500 horsepower, an 800-volt architecture, and rear-wheel drive, the Concept C feels every bit the spiritual successor to the R8—and a hint at the future Boxster EV from Porsche. It’s quick, beautifully balanced, and built to redefine how an electric sports car should look and drive.

The Electric AE86 with a Stick Shift: Kenji Arai, Chief Engineer, Lexus Electrified

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjiJADlw7dk

In this episode of *The InEVitable* by MotorTrend, hosts Ed Loh and Jonny Lieberman go hands-on with one of the most surprising EV conversions ever attempted — the *Toyota AE86 Levin BEV*, an electric restomod created by **Lexus Electrified Development Division**. Joining them are Kenji Arai, Chief Engineer at Lexus Electrified, and Toshi Hayama, JDM legend and translator, to discuss why Lexus chose to electrify one of Japan’s most iconic lightweight sports cars and what it means for the future of driving fun. This isn’t a gimmick — it’s an EV with a *manual transmission*, real gear shifts, simulated 4A-GE engine sound, and the soul of the 1980s drifting icon. From the technical challenges of reusing Lexus hybrid parts to how feedback from this prototype could inform future BEV sports cars, this is an inside look at Toyota and Lexus’ electrified philosophy for enthusiasts.
