Red Bull unveils breathtaking and ’emotional’ hypercar

Must read

Red Bull has finally unveiled its stunning Hypercar that has spent years in development.

Only 50 RB17s, designed by technical genius Adrian Newey, will be manufactured and come with a host of add-ons for each buyer.

The car features a semi-stressed mid-mounted naturally aspirated V10 engine that is red-lined at 15,000 rpm. Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a carbon-fibre gearbox.

Weighing under 900 kg and with more than 1,200hp, the RB17 delivers F1-equivalent lap times and top speeds in excess of 350 kph.

From developing the initial concept through to the delivery of the finished RB17 to customers, Red Bull Advanced Technolgoies is responsible for the entire process of designing and building the Hypercar.

Each RB17 client will be welcomed into the Red Bull family with a full customer journey, including a range of track events giving owners the opportunity to experience some of the world’s greatest circuits.

One-of-a-kind driver development and tailoring of the car to suit individual driver’s needs is part of the unique experience. Each RB17 will be bespoke, with customers able to specify everything from the exterior paint colour to interior materials, and a whole host of smaller details.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner described the car as providing “emotional appeal”.

Take a look at the beauty of the RB17 below, and watch its unveiling.
