Most of the car model looks identical to the FIA model. The nosecone is unique and looks better, and needed to be, as it carries the four rings logo.

omg a decent, clean, modern livery, it'll never catch on (obviously aided by the lack of sponsor branding, but still a step ahead factoring this in, I think).
I agree, it's already one of the best Formula 1 liveries I've ever seen. Dynamic while being restrained, with a splash of red like an RS logo an a silver RS3/4/5/6/7. The color break right at the engine-monocoque interface is clever and makes me wonder why we haven't seen that more often. Overall, a good continuation of the Audi endurance racing color schemes, which were always good.
Livery without logos, it's nice to see that as a brand introduction into F1. "This is what an Audi F1 car looks like." Full stop. Pretty smart, imo. The car as scuplture and painting, and placed up on what? A simple white background. Intentionally. "This is our car, it is art, we are proud of it." Other teams should try this. What does an actual [insert team] F1 car look like? Stripped down to the base coat. Silver and no logos specifically seems like a callback to Auto Union racers. A reminder of more tasteful eras that predated ubiquitous advertising pollution.
