Since its inception in 2005, Red Bull Racing has expanded its capabilities significantly, now operating from a 117-hectare campus in Milton Keynes, England. Red Bull Advanced Technologies, founded in 2014, is responsible for engineering, design, technology, simulation, and production across a range of industries. Now, this division has unveiled its first production car: the RB17, a Formula 1 car for the streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 1,000 Horsepower<\/strong> Under the leadership of Adrian Newey, Red Bull Racing Group\u2019s high-performance engineering arm has developed a hypercar entirely in-house, debuting at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. This two-seater machine is “optimized for the ultimate track driving experience” and is powered by a propulsion system that will use a V10 engine, producing more than 1,200 horsepower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company states that the RB17 <\/a>is inspired “by the cars Red Bull Racing has competed with in the world\u2019s most demanding and technically advanced motorsport series.” Newey\u2019s creation is built around a carbon-fiber chassis and boasts “the most advanced ground-effect package available in a production car.” While full technical details are yet to be released, it\u2019s known that all the power will be sent to the rear wheels via a carbon-fiber transmission. The car will weigh just 900 kilograms and exceed a top speed of 350 km\/h, promising lap times comparable to a Formula 1 car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Collector’s Car<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019ve been contemplating the challenge of designing our own hypercar for many years, and it\u2019s been a wonderful project and journey. To finally unveil the RB17 is extraordinary. This hypercar embodies everything we stand for: undeniable power, speed, and beauty. It\u2019s highly versatile and designed as a two-seater so the thrill of driving at F1 speeds can be shared with a friend or partner,\u201d says Adrian Newey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christian Horner, CEO of Oracle Red Bull Racing and Red Bull Advanced Technologies, adds: “We\u2019re thrilled to present the RB17 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a project that stands as one of the most genuine and exciting ventures Red Bull Advanced Technologies has taken on to date. With 20 years of F1 legacy and a performance-driven organization, designing our own hypercar from scratch made perfect sense. Blending technical innovation, achievements, and emotional appeal, the RB17 is an iconic car. I\u2019m incredibly proud of the team and excited to see it make its world debut. We expect the RB17 to become a future classic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Price and Launch of the Red Bull RB17<\/strong> Lastly, but importantly, the production of the RB17 will not only secure existing jobs within the company but also create over 100 new roles in Milton Keynes, along with economic benefits for project partners and suppliers. Red Bull Advanced Technologies has announced that only 50 units will be built, with production set to begin in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price of each of these 50 machines will be \u00a35 million (plus applicable local taxes), a significant figure that grants owners access to a range of Red Bull Racing services. These include access to simulators, vehicle development programs, training, and track experiences. The RB17 will also have full factory support, with service and maintenance tailored to each owner’s usage profile. We look forward to seeing all the details of this competitor to the Mercedes-AMG Project One and Aston Martin Valkyrie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
