Red Bull intends to build its own hypercar, taking a page from on-track rival Mercedes. The business revealed the RB17 on Twitter on Tuesday. It will have two seats, a hybrid V8 engine, and 1,100 horsepower. Red Bull anticipates producing 50 cars at a cost of £5 million ($6.1 million) each when production begins in 2025.
Purchasing the F1-inspired RB17 will grant you access to Red Bull’s team simulators and on-track training if you just so happen to be a millionaire.
At the Milton Keynes factory in England, where it intends to build the RB17, the company will also service and maintain the vehicle for you.

Red Bull Racing CEO Christian Horner stated that “The RB17 represents the first time that a car with the Red Bull brand has been made available to collectors.”
The RB17 achieves high levels of performance in a two-seat track car by distilling all we know about building championship-winning Formula 1 cars.
The vehicle is being created by Red Bull Chief Technical Officer Adrian Newey. The Aston Martin Valkyrie and all four of Red Bull’s F1 championship-winning vehicles are on his portfolio.
The RB17, according to Red Bull, will be based on a carbon composite tub and have a ground effect-focused body like contemporary F1 cars.
