As the 2025 Formula season approaches its end, teams are already starting to look ahead to the 2026 season, including the unveiling of what next year’s cars may look like.

Four months ahead of its scheduled race debut in Australia, Audi has debuted a preview of what it will bring to the track in 2026.

“By entering the pinnacle of motorsport, Audi is making a clear, ambitious statement,” says Audi CEO Gernot Döllner. “It is the next chapter in the company’s renewal. Formula 1 will be a catalyst for the change towards a leaner, faster and more innovative Audi.” 

Döllner says Audi is entering the racing series with an ambitious yet realistic roadmap: “We are not entering Formula 1 just to be there. We want to win. At the same time, we know that you don’t become a top team in Formula 1 overnight. It takes time, perseverance and tireless questioning of the status quo. By 2030, we want to fight for the World Championship title.”
