The Appel Room of the Lincoln Center served as host for the event that unveiled AlphaTauri’s new F1 car livery, together with the team 2023 fashion collection at New York Fashion Week on Saturday evening.
A singular event brought to life a new Formula 1 livery design, which will feature on Scuderia AlphaTauri AT04.
A sneak peek of the new contender came through the renders as the physical car showcased in New York was its predecessor, the AT03.
The new design introduces the trademark red color of the outfit’s new Principal Partner, PKN ORLEN.
Scuderia AlphaTauri Team Principal, Franz Tost, commented: “As we know, Formula 1 has seen a huge increase in popularity due to the likes of Netflix and social media over the last few years.”
“It’s extremely important that we continue to grow in this market, which is why I’m pleased, we were able to launch our 2023 livery here today in New York City to show our appreciation to the US audience.

Yuki Tsunoda and Nyck de Vries will be at the wheel of the AT04 for the Faenza-based squad in 2023.
The 2020-21 FIA Formula E World Champion will debut as a full-time driver in the FIA Formula One world championship when the lights go out on March 5th at the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix.

Adding: “The livery looks great, and you can see how the sleek A/W collection has inspired it, so I can’t wait to see it on track.”
The Dutch driver replaces Frenchman Pierre Gasly, who has joined BWT Alpine F1 Team pairing Esteban Ocon.
In 2023, De Vries’s new teammate Tsunoda will compete in his third consecutive season with the outfit at the pinnacle of motorsport following an agreement to retain the Japanese driver for another year.
The 22-year-old graduated from Formula One in 2021 and joined AlphaTauri Honda to contest his rookie season, ending with 32 points under his name.
