Audi Revolut F1 Team has revealed its special Singapore Grand Prix livery, pairing a blue-shimmer interpretation of Titanium Silver Grey with a traditional Peranakan pattern. The design extends to Nico Hülkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto’s race suits, a limited-edition adidas collection and a corresponding color treatment for the new Audi RS 5, which will make its Asian premiere in Singapore.
The reveal is part of a broader Singapore program called “The Art of Influence.” Alongside the cars and clothing, Audi has organized food collaborations, public displays, a driver appearance and a community run. An online hub connects those activities with digital collectibles and a prize draw for a VIP trip to the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
A SINGAPORE-SPECIFIC TAKE ON THE R26
The special R26 finish takes its inspiration from Singapore’s transition from daylight through twilight to an illuminated night skyline. Audi developed a variation of its Titanium Silver Grey with a blue shimmer intended to change in appearance under the circuit’s floodlights as the car moves.
A traditional Peranakan pattern appears on the sidepods and rear wing, adding a reference to Singapore’s cultural heritage while preserving the geometric divisions of the team’s established livery. The result gives the R26 a distinct identity for Singapore without abandoning the underlying Audi design.
Audi had teased this pattern earlier under a shell-like covering that at first mad it appear to be all Peranakan. That’s how we based our renderings posted Friday. We now see a more artful and multi-shade approach that appears much more consistent with the R26 base livery design. The net effect is perhaps Audi’s most striking special livery to date.
Hülkenberg and Bortoleto will wear specially designed race suits carrying the same visual theme. Audi is also applying a corresponding color treatment to the new RS 5 for its Asian premiere, connecting the Formula 1 appearance with the brand’s road-car presence during race week.
The adidas capsule collection carries that theme into fanwear. It includes the drivers’ official Singapore caps, a graphic T-shirt, sweatshirt and special-edition Adilette slides. The collection is available through the team’s online store.
THE RS 5 AND R26 GO ON DISPLAY
Singapore’s public program gives Audi a presence beyond the Marina Bay circuit, with several activities accessible to people attending the city’s race-week festivities without a Grand Prix ticket.
At Funan Mall, an R26 show car will be positioned at the entrance, while an RS 5 and the Singapore clothing collection will be displayed inside. Merchandise will be available through the mall’s adidas store, and the team has announced a public appearance by its drivers. The supplied schedule does not give a time for that appearance.
The Funan displays run October 8–11, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. An RS 5 will also be displayed at the Audi House of Progress, where a collaboration with Burnt Ends Bakery adds a food component to the brand’s race-week activities.
GELATO, BAKERY COLLABORATIONS AND A COMMUNITY RUN
Hülkenberg and Bortoleto have collaborated with Singapore botanical gelato brand Birds of Paradise on an exclusive flavor called GABICO, combining Gabriel and Nico’s names. Audi has not specified the flavor’s ingredients in the announcement, but it is available at the company’s Craig Road and Beach Road locations from October 3–11.
At the Audi House of Progress, Burnt Ends Bakery and Michelin-starred chef Dave Pynt are providing an exclusive weekly special, coffee and baked products in co-branded packaging. That collaboration also runs October 3–11, with public access daily from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visitors will have an opportunity to win items from the Singapore collection.
The program also includes a four-kilometer community run organized with adidas, World of Hyatt and local running clubs. It starts at Andaz Singapore at 7 a.m. on Sunday, October 11, visits Funan Mall for a photo opportunity with the R26 show car and returns to the hotel for refreshments. Registration is through the adidas Running app.
Audi’s Head of Race Strategy, Rithvik Dhananjay, contributes another local connection through a food-focused content series. Drawing on his family ties to Singapore, his selections will form a guide to the city’s hawker centers and street-food destinations.
A DIGITAL ROUTE TO LAS VEGAS
Fans outside Singapore can participate through Audi’s online livery reveal. Revealing the car unlocks a digital Team Card, with additional cards available through selected activities and campaign content.
Each unlocked card provides one entry into a prize draw for one winner and a companion to attend the Las Vegas Grand Prix as VIP guests of Audi Revolut F1 Team. Participation details and terms are available through the campaign hub.
Taken together, the livery, matching clothing, RS 5 debut and public activities make Singapore a substantial showcase for Audi’s first Formula 1 season. The team’s on-track prospects will be the subject of our separate Grand Prix preview later this week.
