First-Ever Collaboration Brings Taiwanese Streetwear Into Professional Motorsport
Premium Racing Suit Manufactured by Italy's HRX Motorsport
Taiwan's motorsport scene and streetwear culture have officially converged. Professional racing team TEAM SX83 today announced its first-ever collaboration with Taiwanese apparel brand prototyp, unveiling a co-branded merchandise collection alongside a bespoke premium racing suit created exclusively for the team's drivers.
The partnership marks the first time prototyp has designed for a professional racing team since the brand's founding, making it one of the most significant fashion collaborations in Taiwan's motorsport industry. Known for drawing inspiration from racing culture and its bold, competition-driven aesthetic, prototyp has long brought motorsport influences into streetwear. This time, however, the brand has gone beyond reinterpretation—stepping directly into the paddock and returning its design philosophy to the very environment that inspired it.
For TEAM SX83, the collaboration is equally significant. Racing team apparel in Taiwan has traditionally been dictated by sponsor requirements, leaving little room for distinctive visual identity. By partnering with a contemporary fashion label, TEAM SX83 is extending its brand beyond the racetrack and into the world of fashion, allowing the spirit and speed of motorsport to be experienced through a new creative lens.
On the Track: A Premium Designer Racing Suit
The centerpiece of the collaboration is a bespoke racing suit designed exclusively by prototyp for TEAM SX83's drivers and manufactured by HRX Motorsport in Italy. Built using HRX's top-tier premium fabric specification, the suit represents the highest level of craftsmanship and performance. It is not available for retail sale and will only be seen in competition.
Futuristic Mecha-Inspired Design
Breaking away from the oversized, brightly colored panels traditionally associated with racing suits, the design adopts a deep matte carbon-black base accented by sculpted seam lines reminiscent of a mechanical exoskeleton. Sharp geometric paneling creates a clean, aggressive silhouette, giving the driver the presence of a near-future technological warrior.
Race-Proven Performance
Certified to the FIA 8856-2018 safety standard, the suit delivers the protection required for professional motorsport while maintaining a lightweight, ergonomic fit designed for peak performance.
Beyond the Track: The Collaboration T-Shirt
While the racing suit belongs exclusively to the drivers, the collaboration T-shirt is designed for everyone standing beyond the pit wall. prototyp translates the mecha-inspired visual language of the racing suit into an everyday garment, allowing supporters to wear the same design language and stand alongside the team.
Materials & Fit
Crafted from 95% cotton and 5% elastane, the T-shirt features a breathable, high-stretch fabric for everyday comfort. It is finished with screen-printed graphics on both the front and back, a ribbed crew neck, and a regular unisex fit, making it suitable for both men and women.
Availability
The collaboration T-shirt will be released as a limited-edition item.
