Beginning of a New Era
In 2026, Audi enters Formula 1 racing to embark on a new journey of engineering excellence and innovation.
Her project is not just about participating in races, but a strategic step to redefine performance and efficiency in the global automotive world.
A system that includes three main facilities
The Audi plan is based on three pillars that form the backbone of the Formula 1 project:
Hinwil – Switzerland: The sports headquarters building on the legacy of the famous Super team.
Nieborg an der Donau – Germany: The technological heart where the hybrid power system is developed using smart laboratories and 3D simulation models.
Bicester – United Kingdom: A technical office in the British racing valley to attract the best engineering talents.
These sites operate with a single digital integration that ensures the exchange of data and results quickly and with high accuracy.

Smart design and modern identity
Audi has presented its R26 Prototype concept in titanium silver and carbon black with touches of glossy red.
The design expresses the fusion of power, elegance, and sustainable technology in the era of hybrid cars.
⚙️ Performance Without Limits: Power with Purpose
The Audi project is not just about speed; it redefines the concept of responsible and sustainable performance.
Mastering Hybrid Power
The engine generates over 1000 horsepower through a combination of a 1.6-liter turbo engine and an electric system that recovers up to 50% of energy.
Lightweight and Precision
The chassis is made from advanced carbon fiber that ensures high rigidity with low weight, thanks to artificial intelligence in the design processes.
Smart Aerodynamics
Audi uses active air channels and variable shape wings to reduce air resistance and increase stability in corners.
Intelligent Cooling Systems
Audi relies on thermal exchangers that operate with mineral fluids and digital sensors to maintain the engine and battery temperature accurately.

Engineering Towards the Future
At the Neubrug facility, engineers are working on the finest details under electron microscopes and using artificial intelligence to enhance the performance of hybrid engines.
The goal is to comply with the 2026 regulations that require a complete balance between electric power and fuel with lower emissions.


Post-Racing: The Future of Smart Mobility
Audi's entry into Formula 1 is not just a sporting goal, but a laboratory for technologies that will change the automotive industry.
From energy control systems to cooling and artificial intelligence, these innovations will be directly applied in Audi's future vehicles.
