Red Bull’s new hypercar scheduled to launch this year Rb17The first image has been released. The car is designed based on Red Bull’s history on the race track.
The exterior retains the aesthetics of a Formula 1 car, with a sculptural body, slim LED headlights, and a roof intake that directs air to the mid-engine.
The engine is a 4.5-liter V10 developed by Cosworth that spins up to 15,000 RPM. The engine alone produces approximately 1,000 horsepower, and when combined with the electric motor that adds 200 horsepower, it provides a powerful output of 1,200 horsepower in total.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed sequential gearbox, coupled to a hydraulically locking active limited slip differential (LSD). The hybrid system is responsible for the reverse function at the same time.
In the interior, Red Bull further emphasized the aesthetics of a racing car. The dashboard is full of physical buttons, no touchscreens or unnecessary distractions. The track-oriented design is reflected in the seat and steering wheel positions and even the driver’s field of vision.
Red Bull will produce only 50 units of the RB17. Pricing hasn’t been revealed, but it’s expected to exceed the seven-figure sum. The RB17 is already in the testing phase and production will begin soon.
However, it must be emphasized that this vehicle is not certified for road use and was developed solely for track use or for luxury car collectors.
