2025 Red Bull RB17 Hypercar

In 2022, it was announced that one of the top engineers and designers of Formula 1 cars, Adrian Newey, is developing a hypercar in collaboration with Red Bull, the RB17. Now the car has been officially unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

This two-seater is a blend of two decades of innovation in Formula 1, which helped Oracle Red Bull Racing win six constructors’ titles. Also, it is the most aerodynamic car in history, with a new diffuser and multi-functional active suspension that allows the driver to change the mechanical balance of grip between both axles, making it more comfortable than an F1 car and an LMP1 race car. Equipped with a carbon monocoque chassis, the car weighs less than 900 kg, and only 50 examples will be produced. Each will be introduced to the Red Bull family through a great customer experience, including a series of on-track events where car owners will get the chance to experience some of the world’s most famous tracks.

The event was attended by Oracle Red Bull Racing Team Principal Christian Horner who said: “We are excited to unveil the RB17 hypercar at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. This is one of Red Bull Advanced Technologies’ most authentic and exciting projects. With 20 years of heritage in the world of Formula 1 and As a performance-focused organization, we designed our own hypercar from the ground up. Combining technical innovation, achievement and emotional appeal, the RB17 is a car that sets new boundaries. I’m proud of the team and excited to present it.

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.

Also at the presentation was Group Technical Director Adrian Newey who said: “I’ve been thinking about the idea of ​​taking on the challenge of designing our own hypercar and this has been a fantastic project from concept to delivery. It’s really amazing to pull the covers off and see the birth of the RB17. This hypercar has everything we stand for, undeniable power, speed and beauty. It’s very adaptable in its capabilities, and we’ve gone to great lengths to design it as a two-seater, so the driver can enjoy a thrilling drive at Formula 1 speeds with a friend.”
