The RB17 hypercar from Red Bull, unveiled at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed to celebrate 20 years of Red Bull Racing, was created by renowned engineer Adrian Newey and Red Bull Advanced Technologies.
The vehicle promises lap times on par with Formula 1 models, featuring a 4.5-liter V10 engine and an electric motor that together produce 1183 horsepower, reaching speeds over 349 km/h.
Designed for endurance racing durability, the RB17 boasts advanced aerodynamics and is made entirely of carbon fiber, adhering to Le Mans hypercar safety regulations.
The production of the RB17 is limited to 50 units, utilizing the same suppliers and construction processes as Formula 1. This exclusivity and high-tech materials contribute to the steep price of around $6.5 million per car, with additional customizations costing more than $1.2 million.
Christian Horner, head of the Red Bull Racing team, emphasizes that Red Bull opted for a superior manufacturing process, which justifies the high cost of the hypercar.
RB17 buyers receive VIP treatment from Red Bull, including participation in exclusive events, race visits, and F1 tests, as well as simulator training. Red Bull organizes track driving events and training sessions to ensure owners get the most out of the hypercar.
