At the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Oracle Red Bull Racing Team Principal and CEO Christian Horner, Group Chief Technical Officer Adrian Newey, and Red Bull Advanced Technologies Technical Director Rob Gray unveiled the RB17.
Designed by Adrian Newey and Red Bull Advanced Technologies, the RB17 leverages two decades of Formula One innovation, contributing to Oracle Red Bull Racing’s six Constructors’ titles. This hypercar features a two-seater carbon fibre monocoque chassis and a semi-stressed mid-mounted naturally aspirated V10 engine, capable of reaching 15,000 rpm.
With power channeled to the rear wheels through a carbon fibre gearbox, the RB17 weighs under 900 kg and boasts over 1,200 HP. It delivers F1-equivalent lap times and top speeds exceeding 350 kph while remaining user-friendly.
Red Bull Advanced Technologies manages the entire design and production process, with only 50 units available.
Each RB17 owner is welcomed into the Red Bull family with a comprehensive journey, including exclusive track events at world-renowned circuits. Owners can personalize their cars extensively, from exterior paint to interior materials and more.
