Audi Revolut F1 Team Unveils Singapore-Inspired R26 Livery Ahead of Grand Prix Debut

Audi Revolut F1 Team has unveiled a special Singapore-inspired livery for its Audi R26 ahead of its debut at the Marina Bay Street Circuit this weekend, marking the team’s arrival in Singapore with a series of race-week experiences and collaborations across the city.

Audi Singapore introduced the car at the Audi House of Progress at 18 Cross Street, where it was showcased to key partners and media ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix. The event was attended by Audi Revolut F1 Team Racing Director Allan McNish and drivers Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto, marking the first physical appearance of the specially designed car in Singapore.

Created under the theme “The Art of Influence”, the livery draws inspiration from Singapore’s mix of cultures, technology and creativity. The concept reflects how different influences shape the world around us, from light influencing colour to culture inspiring design and performance driving progress.

At the centre of the design is a Singapore-specific interpretation of Titanium Silver Grey, developed by Audi especially for the Singapore Grand Prix. Inspired by the city’s transition from daylight to twilight and its illuminated skyline at night, the colour features a blue shimmer that reflects Singapore’s lights and urban surroundings. Under the floodlights of the Marina Bay Street Circuit, the finish is designed to change in appearance as the car moves, giving the Audi R26 a distinctive visual identity.

The livery also connects Audi’s motorsport ambitions with its road car performance. On 1 October, Audi launched the new Audi RS 5 at Funan as part of the brand’s race-season activations in Singapore. The model made its Asian premiere in a corresponding colour treatment, creating a visual link between the car competing on the racetrack and Audi’s high-performance road cars.

As Audi Sport’s first high-performance plug-in hybrid, the new RS 5 combines electrification with performance, delivering a total system output of 470 kW, equivalent to 639 hp. Together, the Audi R26 and RS 5 highlight how design, engineering and innovation can influence one another across motorsport and road car development.

Beyond the car’s unveiling, Audi Revolut F1 Team is bringing its “The Art of Influence” campaign to fans through collaborations spanning fashion, food, community and entertainment. Fans can collect digital team cards by participating in featured experiences through the team’s digital hub at audif1.com. Each unlocked card earns one entry into a prize draw, with one winner and a companion set to receive a trip to the Las Vegas Grand Prix as VIP guests of Audi Revolut F1 Team.

One of the key activations is Off the Grid by adidas and Audi at Funan Mall. Hulkenberg and Bortoleto appeared at the venue on 7 October for a public meet-and-greet with fans. Running until 11 October, the activation gives visitors the opportunity to view the Audi R26 show car and new Audi RS 5 in the special livery, while taking part in interactive challenges and accessing exclusive rewards.

Audi’s Spot the Driver activation will also continue on 10 and 11 October, with appearances planned at New Bahru, Robertson Quay, Chinatown and Lau Pa Sat. The activity offers fans additional opportunities to join the race-week festivities, with exclusive prizes available.

The wider programme includes a community run organised by adidas and World of Hyatt, alongside collaborations with Birds of Paradise and Burnt Ends Bakery at the Audi House of Progress.

The Singapore activities form part of Audi Revolut F1 Team’s broader effort to bring Formula 1 closer to fans beyond the racetrack. The initiative began in Melbourne in March and brings together the team’s partners to create experiences that connect motorsport with everyday life.
