Audi RS 5 Makes Its Asian Premiere Alongside the R26 in Singapore With Matching Livery

Audi’s Singapore RS 5 and R26 share a Titanium-inspired look, but the event car’s wrap is not for sale. Here’s what the livery means and how the RS 5’s Singapore appearance fits its launch timeline.

Audi paired a Singapore-themed RS 5 Sedan with its R26 Formula 1 car for the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix. The cars share a Titanium-inspired colour palette, but the RS 5’s special event wrap is not available to buy. Singapore was the RS 5’s Asian premiere—not its global debut or first appearance as an F1 Hot Lap car.

What the matching Singapore livery looks like

Audi Revolut F1 Team drew the R26’s special livery from Singapore’s shift from daylight to twilight and illuminated night. The team developed a distinct shade from Titanium Silver Grey, with a blue shimmer inspired by the city’s lights and reflections. Audi says the colour changes in appearance under the circuit floodlights as the car moves through its surroundings.

A Traditional Peranakan Pattern appears on the rear wing and sidepods, referencing Singaporean heritage while retaining the team’s straight-edged geometric design language. Special race suits for Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto carry the same visual theme. Audi Revolut F1 Team announced the livery on 5 October 2026.

How the RS 5 matches the R26

The RS 5 Sedan displayed in Singapore received a Titanium-coloured foil wrap, black rims and lava-red Audi rings on the front, rear and wheel hub caps. Audi Singapore describes the treatment as inspired by the R26’s palette. It is a visual link between road car and race car, not evidence that the RS 5 shares the R26’s racing specification.

#1 Best Overall
Bburago 15621090R 1:24 Audi RS 5 Coupe (2019), Multicoloured
  • Highly detailed model of an Audi RS 5 Coupe
  • 1: 24 scale
  • Faithful recreation of the dashboard
  • The package dimension of the product is: 47.6"L x34.2"W x25"H

The two vehicles also serve different roles. Audi’s global release describes the RS 5 as a production car used for F1 Hot Laps at select races, without additional technical modifications. Audi Sport engineers prepare and maintain the cars; the Singapore-specific treatment described by Audi is an exterior wrap and trim detail.

Is the special RS 5 wrap for sale?

No. Audi Singapore explicitly says, “Special edition wraps are not available for purchase.” The event treatment should not be confused with a customer-orderable RS 5 edition or a purchasable livery kit. Audi’s statement concerns the special wrap; it does not establish the availability or pricing of other RS 5 configurations.

Singapore was the RS 5’s Asian premiere, not its debut

Audi announced on 30 April 2026 that the RS 5 would make its F1 Hot Lap debut at the Miami Grand Prix. Its Singapore appearance was described as an Asian premiere. That distinction matters: Singapore was a regional milestone for the car, but not its first global showing or first F1 Hot Lap role. Audi’s Miami announcement also identifies the RS 5 as its first high-performance plug-in hybrid from Audi Sport.

What Audi says about the RS 5’s performance

Audi’s 2026 global release gives the RS 5 a maximum system output of 470 kW (639 hp) and a top speed of up to 285 km/h. The manufacturer attributes that output to a 2.9-litre V6 biturbo combustion engine rated at 375 kW (510 hp), combined with a 130 kW electric motor. These are manufacturer-published specifications, not independent test results.

For Singapore, Audi separately lists figures for the RS 5 Avant: 470 kW system output, 0–100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, a top speed of up to 285 km/h, and a provisional WLTP all-electric range of up to 83 kilometres. Those figures apply to the Singapore-market Avant page and the range is explicitly provisional; they should not be transferred to the Sedan displayed with the R26.

Where fans could see the cars and find Singapore teamwear

Audi Revolut F1 Team’s 28 September 2026 programme announcement listed an RS 5 and R26 show-car display at Funan Mall from 8–11 October 2026, with public access scheduled for 10 a.m.–10 p.m. Those dates are part of the 2026 event schedule, not a recurring display. The team’s wider “The Art of Influence” programme also included food, fashion, community sport, retail, entertainment and public viewing. Details appeared in the team’s Singapore programme announcement.

The separate limited-edition adidas capsule was physical merchandise, listed by the team as an official driver cap, graphic T-shirt, sweatshirt and special-edition Adilette slides, available through its official store. It is distinct from the RS 5 wrap, which Audi says cannot be purchased.

The team also promoted a digital activation in which fans could reveal the livery and unlock a digital team card. According to the 5 October announcement, each card provided one entry into a prize draw for a winner and companion to attend the Las Vegas Grand Prix as Audi team VIP guests. This was a time-limited sweepstakes mechanic, not a physical collectible or a guaranteed trip.

As Stefano Battiston, Chief Brand and Commercial Officer of Audi Revolut F1 Team, put it: “Bringing Formula 1 to the people means giving fans more ways to feel part of the team, wherever they are.”
