R26 Concept previews Audi's new F1 design

The Audi R26 Concept is a clear statement and provides a preview of the colour scheme and design of the brand's first Formula One race car, which will be unveiled in January 2026.

The R26 Concept's visual identity is based on the recently introduced design philosophy and its four design principles: Clear, technical, intelligent, and emotional. Minimalist graphic surfaces, defined by precise geometric cuts, integrate seamlessly with the racing car's geometry.

The colour palette features titanium, carbon black, and the newly introduced Audi red. As part of this identity, Audi will also sport red rings, used selectively to underscore its F1 presence.
