Having been involved in the AM-RB 001 project that became the Aston Martin Valkyrie, this time around Adrian Newey has been working on creating a new hypercar under the Red Bull name. Adrian’s work goes without introduction as one of the most successful engineers of the Formula 1 world, notably in the recent years with Max Verstappen. However, this time around, it’s a road car coming from Red Bull Advanced Technologies.
In 2021, the F1 regulations were on hold, so the RB17 never ‘existed’, a jump from the RB16 and RB16B to RB18. The space is now filled by a new track hypercar, limited to 50 units, powered by a 4.5l NA V10 that revs to 15,000rpm, in a vehicle that weights sub-900kg and boasts downforce figures almost 2x its weight.

We’re exploring the new car in detail with Rob Gray, Technical Direction behind the project to understand more of what it’s all about and the plans ahead. It has been an honour to visit Red Bull and explore the new RB17 ahead of the global debut, and to preview it with Rob to share with you.
