WHAT IT ISThe first production car from Red Bull Technologies, the
engineering division of the Red Bull Racing Group—you know, the company
presently dominating Formula 1. The hypercar was conceived by Red Bull
Racing's F1 design genius, Adrian Newey, during a COVID lockdown in the UK.
(Talk about idle time well spent.) It's called RB17 in a nod to Red Bull's
naming convention for its F1 cars and as a gap filler: Because of the
pandemic, F1 decided grand prix cars for the 2021 season would be mostly
carryover designs from 2020, so RBR's 2020 car was dubbed the RB16, and its
not-really-new 2021 machine the RB16B. When the team subsequently named its
2022 contender the RB18, "RB17" could be used here without duplicating the
name of an actual race car.

WHY IT MATTERSIt depends on your definition of "matters." Red Bull will
design, engineer, develop, and build the cars—it will only make 50 of them—
nearly entirely in-house, unlike when it and Newey worked with former F1
partner team Aston Martin to create the Valkyrie (as seen in the gallery).
The RB17 will be notable for this historical reason alone, but it quite
likely will also be significant for delivering the most extreme performance
ever seen in a new car offered to the public straight from a factory. Newey
and Red Bull want to deliver as near to F1 performance as they can achieve
for the starting price of ￡5 million (approximately $6.2 million). It's
quite a shift to the real world from the Vision Gran Turismo car (below) Red
Bull created just over a decade ago for the video game series.

PLATFORM AND POWERTRAINThe two-seat RB17 will not be street legal, at least
not at first, and is intended specifically for track use. That being the
case, the car—built around a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis—will feature
F1-derived engineering solutions. Red Bull says it will have advanced ground
effects and, you can bet, other extreme aerodynamic approaches, some of which
have been long outlawed in actual racing series. So expect to see things like
ground-sealing "skirts" and a "blown" diffuser put to work. As for the
powertrain, it's anchored by a twin-turbo V-8 with a hybrid component,
producing more than 1,100 hp. Red Bull hasn't confirmed where and by whom the
engine or motor will be built, but it has suggested it will involve a third
party. It's unknown if RBR's newly minted partnership with Ford for its F1
powertrain operation will come into play with the RB17


簡單來說，在F1的常勝軍紅牛，他們的F1設計部門，將要推出限量50台，預計價格
五百萬歐的超跑RB17.

不過這台車，應該不能合法上路，只能去賽道，享受這1100匹馬力，V8 雙渦輪混合
動力引擎。
