Audi debuts RS 5 plug-in hybrid at Singapore Grand Prix

Audi is debuting the new RS 5 in Asia during the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix. Following its European launch, the model has seen significant demand, with its entire 2026 production run already sold out.

The RS 5 is Audi Sport’s first high-performance plug-in hybrid, featuring a 2.9-liter biturbo V6 engine producing 639 hp. It is available in both sedan and Avant (station wagon) body styles and offers an electric range of up to 83 km according to the WLTP cycle.

For the Singapore event, the vehicle features a special ‘Titanium Silver Gray’ livery inspired by the city’s night architecture and Marina Bay. This design theme also extends to the Audi R26 Formula 1 cars driven by Nico Hülkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto, incorporating Peranakan-style ornamental patterns.
