Red Bull have finally unveiled the RB17 Hypercar - the swansong creation of F1 design genius Adrian Newey before his departure.

The V10-powered, 1184bhp RB17 is the final project led by Newey before he leaves Red Bull in early 2025. According to the legendary designer, the Hy🔯percar will be capable of F1-equivalent lap times and top speeds in exce🐈ss of 350kph.

Red Bul🦂l Advanced Technologies is responsi𓆏ble for the entire design and build process, with only a limited 50 units manufactured for sale.

The RB17 was revealed at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speꦅed on Friday. 

“I had been mulling around the idea🍒 to take on the challenge to design our very own Hypercar, from concept to delivery, for many years and it has been a magnificent project and journey,” said Newey.

“For it to finally be t🧔hꦜe day we pull the covers off and see the birth of the RB17, is truly remarkable. The RB17 Hypercar embraces everything we stand for: undeniable power, speed and beauty.

“It is very adaptable in its abilities, and we made sure to d﷽esign it as a two seater so that the thrill of driving at F1 speeds can be enjoyed with a friend or partner.”

Red Bull Advanced Te⭕chnologies technical director Rob Gray said: “The RB17 is an amazing project that we are privileged to work on, a♓nd has allowed Red Bull Advanced Technologies to showcase our engineering, design, and technical capabilities and solutions.

“We cannot wait to see the finish༺ed cars being enjoyed to the full on a racetrack by racing and automotive 💛enthusaists alike.”

Red Bull team principal and CEO Christian Horner added: “We are excited to reveꦐal the RB17 at Goodwood Festival of Speed, a project that is one of the most authentic and exciting that Red Bu✃ll Advanced Technologies has embarked upon to date.

“With 20 years of legacy in the world of F1 to draw from, and as a performance centred organisation, it o🐭nly made sense for us to design our own Hy🧸percar from the ground up. Combining technical innovation, achievement and emotional appeal, the RB17 is a landmark car.

“I’m very proud of the Team and am delighted to see it make its world debut. We expect the RB17꧙ to be a future classic.”
