Red Bull RB17

The Red Bull RB17 is an upcoming limited production track-only hybrid sports car produced by Red Bull Advanced Technologies, the commercial technology and engineering arm of Formula One team Red Bull Racing. Primarily designed by Red Bull Racing's Chief Technical Officer, designer, and aerodynamicist Adrian Newey, with additional assistance from team engineers, the RB17 is Red Bull's first ever production car.

The name RB17 is derived from Red Bull Racing's Formula One car naming scheme sequence, having been skipped in 2021 when the 2020 RB16 was reused as the RB16B and was followed in 2022 by the RB18. The car was unveiled to the public as a non-working full-scale version on 12 July 2024 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Production is scheduled to begin at 2025 and will be limited to 50 cars, costing £5 million each.

Specifications
Initially, Red Bull planned for the car to be powered by an F1-inspired twin-turbocharged V8 engine, but this was later scrapped in favour of a Cosworth-developed 4.5 litre V10 engine capable of revving to 15,000 rpm at redline, with a proposed power output of 1000 hp. An additional 200 hp of hybrid power is derived from an electric motor. The transmission will be a six-speed sequential unit developed in-house, with the gears built by Xtrac. The weight of the RB17 will be under 1000 kg and built entirely with carbon composite materials. It will also make use of active suspension, which has been outlawed from F1 since the conclusion of the 1993 season.
