Meet the RB17 hypercar!

It’s been designed by Adrian Newey, chief technology officer at Red Bull Racing. He’s previously designed 12 Championship-winning F1 cars, and he’s now turned his attention to a hypercar that offers F1-style performance! And the stats are absolutely insane…

It’s powered by an incredible 4.5-litre naturally-aspirated V10 that offers 1,000hp. This is connected to a sequential automatic single-clutch gearbox with an electric motor. Combined, the RB17 creates an incredible 1,200hp, and all this power is sent to the rear wheels!

What’s more, the V10 red lines at a glorious 15,000 RPM! It can also reach a top speed of 230mph (which is restricted), but don’t expect to see one out on the road anytime soon – unfortunately, the RB17 isn’t road-legal.

Almost the entire car is built from carbon fibre, from the bodywork through to the chassis and even the gearbox! As a result, the RB17 tips the scales at only 900kg, and the aero helps it produce 1.7 tonnes of downforce at 100mph.

It’s limited to just 50 units, and they don’t come cheap – the RB17 comes with a price tag of £6,000,000! So is it worth it? Let’s take a closer look…
