Red Bull’s bold statement about its new RB17 hypercar is grabbing the attention of F1 fans.
The famous Formula 1 car manufacturer has made a stunning claim. Apparently, its brand-new hypercar “RB17” is capable of outperforming an F1 car on the track. It’s an announcement that’s turning heads, as everyone usually considers an F1 car’s performance to be unbeatable.
The RB17 hypercar, a performance monster born from F1
The aero genius Adrian Newey created this hypercar, and it’s no ordinary road car. We’re talking about a vehicle designed exclusively for the track. Newey built it without the weight or size constraints imposed on Formula 1. It’s a true powerhouse. The brand has indeed stated that the RB17 hypercar is expected to beat the lap times of an F1 car at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit.
They also produced this speed machine in a very limited edition. It’s a fusion of cutting-edge Formula 1 technology and limitless innovation. Newey poured all his expertise into creating a machine that surpasses anything done before. The RB17 is a true playground for the engineer. It’s also a passion project that aims to push the boundaries of automotive engineering.
How can this new speed machine be faster?
The question on everyone’s mind is: how can the RB17 hypercar be faster than an F1 car? The answer is simple, and it’s all about freedom. Unlike a Formula 1 single-seater, this vehicle is not subject to the same strict regulations. The hypercar also comes with a hybrid V10 engine delivering over 1100 HP. What’s more, its aerodynamic design can generate maximum downforce.
Without the limits set by the FIA, Red Bull‘s engineers were able to create a car that’s lighter, more powerful, and has more performance. This RB17 hypercar aims to be the ultimate track car. They designed it to be used without the restrictions of a racing discipline.
