Challenger. Competitor. Champion.

Audi has won every major racing series it has entered: From early Alpine adventures to the legendary Auto Union Silver Arrows, from groundbreaking victories in rally racing and endurance triumphs at Le Mans, to DTM and the Dakar Rally. From aerodynamics and lightweight construction to quattro, TDI, and e-tron: With more than 100 years of motorsport legacy, Audi now enters Formula 1® as a challenger. With the same ambition that defined its past successes. And the same humbleness to start with.

quattro changed everything.

1981. Audi quattro. Game changer. With permanent all-wheel drive in rally racing, Audi left the competition behind. Michèle Mouton became the first woman to claim an overall victory. In total: two manufacturers’ titles and two drivers’ titles. All-wheel drive became the standard. To this day.

Choose your racing colour.

The entry into Formula 1® is more than a sporting ambition. Motorsport is deeply rooted in the Audi DNA, which is also reflected in this exclusive selection of optionally available racing-inspired exterior colours. Each tells a story – of victories, circuits, legends. Pure performance, expressed in colour.

The American way of racing.

Endurance racing in the US – this is where Audi feels at home. The oval at Daytona International Speedway on Florida’s east coast has witnessed many Audi victories. Daytona Grey carries this legacy – multi-layered, deep, and confident, with a refined pearl effect for the Audi RS e-tron GT performance*.
