See a livery concept of Audi's forthcoming F1 racer from every angle.
Big changes are in store for the 2026 Formula 1 season, and Audi plans to get in on the action with a new F1 car. The German automaker is also developing the race car's hybrid powertrain, which mixes an internal-combustion engine with an electric motor.
The 2026 F1 season will be the first time Audi has entered a car since the Grand Prix Auto Union race cars of the 1930s.
Radical rule changes for the '26 F1 season involve new variations that affect aerodynamics, electronics, and powertrains.
Audi has released a livery concept that combines Lava Red paint with titanium silver and gloss black carbon fiber.
Here's a close-up of the livery, with the silver portion being inspired by the recently revealed Audi Concept C.
The Audi F1 race car is said to be a lot narrower than the outgoing versions, and here's a top-down view of its snout.
The Lava Red accent color also traces the lip of the Audi F1 car's front spoiler.
The Audi F1 car will feature a gas-fed 1.6-liter V-6 and an electric motor-generator.
While this livery concept doesn't feature any branding, the final car will advertise Adidas, BP, and other future sponsors.
The livery's design is intended to represent the duality of the race car's powertrain as well as Audi's motorsports legacy.
Audi's F1 team operates in multiple locations around Europe, with the race cars built in Switzerland and the powertrains built in Germany.
