After years of anticipation, Red Bull has finally revealed its first-ever customer track automobile, the RB17, on the Goodwood Festival of Speed. This two-seater mid-engine hypercar boasts a formidable 1,200 horsepower, courtesy of an electrically assisted 4.5-liter naturally aspirated V-10 engine that revs as much as an astounding 15,000 rpm. Weighing in at lower than 1,984 kilos, the RB17 guarantees performance levels comparable to a Formula 1 automobile.

The RB17 achieves its remarkable weight through a carbon fiber monocoque, utilizing the engine as a stressed member of the chassis. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a six-speed sequential gearbox and a hydraulically locking lively limited-slip differential. Interestingly, the RB17 lacks a reverse gear, as a substitute using an electrical motor mounted within the drivetrain for backing up. This electric motor contributes 200 horsepower, while the V-10 engine provides the remaining 1,000 hp. Standard traction control and anti-lock brakes be sure that all this power stays manageable, with a top speed exceeding 217 mph.

Designed by Red Bull engineering legend Adrian Newey, the RB17 features exceptional aerodynamics. The automobile generates as much as 3,747 kilos of downforce, nearly double its weight. Innovations like wheel wake management systems smooth airflow across the tires, and lively elements within the front and rear wings adjust downforce in keeping with driving conditions.

The RB17’s motorsport-inspired components extend to its suspension, steering, and braking systems. It boasts adjustable pushrod suspension with lively height and roll control, together with a lift mode for navigating bumps at low speeds. Hydraulically assisted power steering and carbon brakes on all 4 corners further enhance its performance, with only the rear brakes utilizing a brake-by-wire system. The automobile rides on 18-inch carbon fiber wheels with Michelin racing slicks, with an option for 20-inch wheels and high-performance treaded tires.

Designed for ease of use and frequent enjoyment, the RB17 offers custom seat options, an adjustable pedal box, and built-in storage for race suits and helmets. The engine runs on pump gas, and every automobile comes with a 2-year/4,000-kilometer warranty. Red Bull claims the RB17 is durable enough to run a 24-hour race without servicing, with regular maintenance available at Red Bull’s headquarters, local service centers, and even at the client’s location. Major services are required every 8,000 kilometers (about 5,000 miles) and should be performed at Red Bull’s headquarters.

Red Bull plans to host exclusive events for RB17 owners, including private track days, simulator sessions, and social gatherings. These events aim to supply owners a chance to experience their cars as intended and develop into a part of the Red Bull Racing inner circle.

Adrian Newey, reflecting on the RB17 project, stated, “For it to finally be the day we pull the covers off and see the birth of the RB17 is really remarkable. The RB17 hypercar embraces every little thing we stand for: undeniable power, speed, and sweetness. It is vitally adaptable in its abilities, and we made sure to design it as a two-seater in order that the joys of driving at F1 speeds could be enjoyed with a friend or partner.”

Although the worth of the RB17 has not been disclosed, it is anticipated to be within the seven-figure range. All 50 examples of this exclusive hypercar have already been sold, with production set to start next yr.
