Red Bull has announced its Adrian Newey-design RB17 hypercar, a track-only machine packed full of F1 tech, 1250bhp and a 900kg weight figure -
Red Bull has officially announced it is developing a new £5m hypercar called the RB17. Designed and developed in-house by Red Bull Advanced Technologies the model will be a track-only hypercar powered by a turbocharged hybrid V8 developing in the region of 1250bhp.
Adrian Newey and Red Bull are no strangers to developing a race-inspired hypercar, having completed the initial engineering stages forproject first revealed in 2017, which is only just now completing its production run. The RB17 will as such be a natural progression of the Valkyrie project, only this time with even more F1-derived technology.
Red Bull has set initial packaging targets of a 900kg weight limit, not including the driver. The cockpit will be closed and have room for a driver and passenger, but will feature a longer wheelbase, larger wheels and tyres, and target an even lower centre of gravity than the Valkyrie. Powering the RB17 wil be a twin-turbocharged V8 engine with a hybrid module, which will be produced by an as yet unspecified third party.
Alongside the 1250bhp powertrain, the RB17 will base its entire aerodynamic package on ground effect downforce as was reintroduced in this year’s F1 redesign. To function on bumpier track surfaces, the skirts will be flexible and work in conjunction with an active suspension system. Other banned F1 innovations such as a blown diffuser will also be integrated into the technical package – Red Bull is, after all, calling it ‘Adrian’s greatest hits’ internally.
Red Bull has released an initial estimation of price at £5 million not including local taxes, likely making the one very expensive toy for those who want the closest thing to an F1 car in the garage possible. And without the complications of trying to make it type-approved for road use, it’s likely that it won’t run into the issues and delays that
