Heading into the iconic night atmosphere of the street circuit, Audi has officially unveiled a striking special livery for the upcoming Singapore Grand Prix. The German manufacturer has swapped its traditional color scheme for a unique design inspired directly by the local Singaporean culture against the illuminated backdrop of Marina Bay.
This bold move is part of a joint initiative alongside title partner Revolut and official kit supplier adidas. The Audi R26 now features vibrant blue and purple hues paired with intricate graphics referencing vintage Singaporean architectural motifs, marking the team's latest bespoke race livery designed to captivate motorsport fans worldwide.
Beyond the car itself, the visual overhaul extends to the team's drivers. Throughout the Grand Prix weekend, Nico Hulkenberg and teammate Gabriel Bortoleto will wear special-edition race suits and customized footwear matching the host nation's artistic heritage. Special liveries have famously become a staple of the Singapore night race as teams embrace the unique aesthetic opportunity.
For Audi, the refreshed look arrives as the squad aims to build crucial momentum following a demanding sequence of flyaway races. Engineers hope that technical upgrades brought alongside the fresh visual package will help unlock vital mid-pack pace on the high-downforce street layout, which heavily punishes errors and tests mechanical reliability to the absolute limit.
Both drivers will debut the new livery on track during Friday's opening practice session at Marina Bay, before tackling the grueling 62-lap night race on Sunday. The team will be eager to bounce back following the previous round in Bahrain, where Hulkenberg narrowly missed out on points in 11th place while Bortoleto crossed the line further down the order in 18th position.
