A few days ago, Red Bull presented a two-seater as a blend of two decades of innovation in Formula 1, the RB17 Hypercar. Not a single car has been delivered, yet, and Lanzante are offering new owners to convert the track-focused car into a road-legal high-powered car.

“Lanzante will work with the owners to develop a road-legal version of the RB17 with a V10 engine. We want to ensure that the project stays true to the original design to allow for optimized performance on the track, but still be usable on the road,” the company said.

Red Bull unveiled the RB17 Hypercar at the Goodwood Festival of Speed ​​and at that event Lanzante informed potential buyers that it intended to offer the conversion of their cars into road legal ones. The RB17 is powered by a naturally aspirated V10 engine (around 1,000 hp) combined with an electric motor (200 hp / 149 kW) with a total power of over 1,200 hp, paired with a carbon gearbox that sends power to the rear wheels. That is enough to develop a top speed of 350 km/h and achieve lap times like a Formula 1 car.

The British automotive company specializing in service restoration and development of unique vehicles, has experience in turning track-focused cars into road-legal ones. Their latest project is the Porsche 935 produced in only 77 examples, and at the Goodwood Festival of Speed ​​Lanzante presented two road-legal examples. One of them wore a Martini livery while the other was in a Marlboro Chevron livery. They are powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo 6-cylinder engine with 691 hp (515 kW), mated to a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission.
