Red Bull ready to produce a hypercar at nearly 6 million euros
Red Bull has announced the launch of the development of a hypercar led by Adrian Newey.
After the success of the Aston Martin Valkyrie, Red Bull and Adrian Newey are back at it again with the RB17. This new hypercar, scheduled for 2025, is announced by Red Bull to be almost as powerful as a Formula 1 car. Only 50 examples will be available, and it will be sold for over 5.5 million euros.
For this price, you will have access to a 1,100 hp hypercar, equipped with a hybrid turbo V8. In addition to this power surplus, the RB17 will be equipped with technologies derived from Formula 1, such as a ground-effect floor, as well as a hybrid system derived from racing.
Christian Horner stated: “The RB17 represents a significant step in the evolution of Red Bull Advanced Technologies, now fully capable of designing and manufacturing a production car at our Red Bull Technology Campus. Additionally, the RB17 marks the first time that a car bearing the Red Bull brand will be available for buyers.”
In charge of the project, Adrian Newey added: « The RB17 distills everything we know about creating winning Formula 1 cars into a package that offers extreme levels of performance in a two-seater track car. Driven by our passion for performance at every level, the RB17 pushes the boundaries of design and technology far beyond what was previously available to enthusiasts and collectors.
