RBAT is said to start production of the RB17 from 2025, with just 50 examples being built.
Red Bull Advanced Technologies (RBAT) – the engineering arm of the Red Bull F1 Racing Team, has announced their first in-house hypercar project, the RB17.
The company announced that the new RB17 hypercar’s development will be under the leadership of their Chief Technical Officer, Adrian Newey – whose designs helped Red Bull win all their four Constructor’s Championship in Formula1.
The new hypercar is said to be powered by a V8 hybrid engine, said to produce over 1100 BHP. The RB17 will be a two-seat hypercar designed around a carbon-composite tub and utilise ground effect, similar to the 2022 F1 cars.
RBAT is said to start production of the RB17 from 2025, with just 50 examples being built – priced at GBP 5 million each. Owners of the RB17 will also get access to the team’s simulators, vehicle programme development & on-track training, while the factory itself will handle the service and maintenance of each car.
Christian Horner, Red Bull Team Principal, stated that the RB17 marks the first time a car wearing the Red Bull brand will be available to collectors. It also marks an important milestone in RBAT, which is now fully capable of manufacturing a series production car.
