Red Bull promised that the premiere of the RB17 hypercar would take place at the traditional Goodwood Festival of Speed, and today that event took place.
Designed by Adrian Newey and built by Red Bull Advanced Technologies, the car embodies the experience gained during Red Bull Racing’s twenty years of involvement in Formula 1, during which the team won the Constructors’ Championship six times.
The RB17 hypercar features a two-seat carbon fiber monocoque chassis and a mid-mounted naturally aspirated V10 engine that can rev to 15,000 rpm.
The torque is transferred to the rear wheels via a transmission, also made of composite materials. With a weight of 900 kg and an engine power of more than 1200 hp, the RB17 can run around the track with results comparable to those of a Formula 1 car. The hypercar can accelerate to speeds of more than 350 km/h, but how The makers assure that with such impressive characteristics it is quite easy to operate and maintain.
The RB17 is an exclusive car in every way: only 50 of these hypercars will be sold. Anyone lucky enough to own this masterpiece of engineering will be able to participate in races on the best race tracks in the world – the organization will be taken over by Red Bull Racing.
Adrian NeweyRed Bull Technical Director: “I have been cherishing the idea of taking on the development of our hypercar for many years, thinking through everything from concept to delivery of the car to the customer, and with this project I have had a great journey.
The beautiful day finally arrived as we unveiled the RB17. Our hypercar has become the embodiment of everything we strive for: unsurpassed power, speed and beauty.
The car is flexible and we deliberately made it a two-seater so you can share the excitement of driving at Formula 1 speeds with someone else.”
