Audi's Model A7L is Reimagined by Feng Chen Wang

— April 25, 2025 — Autos
Audi's model 'A7L' receives a new identity through a debut collaboration between Audi and Chinese fashion designer Feng Chen Wang. Unveiled in Shanghai, the reimagined Audi A7L fuses automotive engineering with couture-level craftsmanship in a design inspired by the deconstructed aesthetics of historical and cultural shirting.

The custom vehicle, presented in minimalist white, showcases embossed exterior detailing that mimics 18th and 19th-century shirt elements -- detachable collars, cuffs, knots, and Chinese-inspired necklines -- layered with Audi’s iconic honeycomb grille pattern. Described by Wang as a 'gender- and time-transcending wardrobe staple,' the concept channels a poetic fusion of Eastern and Western design philosophies.

The collaboration also includes a limited-edition fashion capsule featuring a shirt, 3D-printed bag, bolo tie, and keychain. Following its debut, the model A7L will appear at the Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition and tour key cities across China.
