The Red Bull RB17 hypercar is Adrian Newey’s most recent creation, and the decorated designer has claimed it can rival – and even beat – the latest Red Bull F1 cars.
Adrian Newey has shared insights about the capabilities of Red Bull RB17 hypercar, his latest project with the team. He mentioned that even in the hands of an amateur driver in the simulator, the car outpaced the F1 pole position time at Silverstone. At the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July, it was revealed that only 50 RB17 hypercars would be produced, known for being exceptionally fast compared to F1 lap times. Newey hinted that the RB17 might exceed the performance of the cars he designed for the reigning constructors’ champions over the past two decades. With 140 people from the Milton Keynes squad working on the RB17, Newey aimed to create a car that is accessible to drivers with limited experience and can evolve with the driver’s skills and preferences as they grow.
