RED BULL ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES THE RB17 AT GOODWOOD FOS
The first ever production car to come from the Red Bull Racing Group.
Pricing starts at £5M (pre-tax); 50 vehicle production run, starting in 2025.
V8 hybrid engine to deliver more than 1,100bhp. Track-only specification
for the purest execution of an F1-inspired hypercar.
Red Bull Advanced Technologies, the high-performance engineering arm of
Red Bull Racing Group, today announced details of its first hypercar project
designed, developed, and manufactured entirely in-house. Created by
Adrian Newey, Chief Technical Officer of Oracle Red Bull Racing and Red
Bull Advanced Technologies, the RB17 is a two-seat hypercar optimized for
the ultimate on-track driving experience. Just 50 RB17s will be made at the
Red Bull Technology Campus in Milton Keynes, with production scheduled to
commence in 2025.
Christian Horner, CEO of Oracle Red Bull Racing and Red Bull
Advanced Technologies, said: “The RB17 marks an important milestone
in the evolution of Red Bull Advanced Technologies, now fully capable of
creating and manufacturing a series production car at our Red Bull
Technology Campus. Further, the RB17 marks the first time that a car
wearing the Red Bull brand has been available to collectors.”
Adrian Newey, Chief Technical Officer of Oracle Red Bull Racing and
Red Bull Advanced Technologies commented: “The RB17 distills
everything we know about creating championship-winning Formula One
cars into a package that delivers extreme levels of performance in a two-
seat track car. Driven by our passion for performance at every level, the
RB17 pushes design and technical boundaries far beyond what has been
previously available to enthusiasts and collectors.”
Powered by a V8 hybrid engine developing over 1,100bhp, the RB17 takes
its inspiration – and name – from the cars that Red Bull Racing has
campaigned in the world’s most demanding and technically advanced
motorsport series. Designed around a carbon-composite tub, the RB17
features the most advanced ground effect package available in a series
production car. Full technical details for the RB17 will be released in due
course. Expressions of interest in the RB17 can be made from today at

Pricing starts at £5M (plus applicable local taxes) with just 50 collectors set
to become owners of the RB17. That ownership includes more than the car,
bringing a close association with the Red Bull Racing team through access
to simulators, vehicle program development and on-track training and
experiences. The RB17 will be supported directly by the factory, with
servicing and maintenance support tailored to each owner and their usage
profile for the car.
Since its foundation in 2005, Red Bull Racing has progressively expanded
its operations and capabilities, now located on a 290-acre campus in Milton
Keynes. Red Bull Advanced Technologies was created in 2014 and brings its
exceptional engineering, design, technology, simulation, and production
capabilities to a hugely diverse set of industries. The creation of the RB17
will both secure existing jobs and create over 100 new positions in Milton
Keynes, in addition to the economic benefits across project partners and
suppliers.
