Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing have revealed their hypercar; codenamed AM-RB 001.
The product of a partnership between the British luxury brand and eminent F1 team, this collaboration combines the vision and skills of two world-leading brands to create a road car the like of which has never been seen before.
Built around a lightweight carbonfibre structure, the AM-RB 001 aims to offer radical aerodynamics for unprecedented levels of downforce in a road-legal car.
The AM-RB 001 is a bespoke machine from the tyres up. More details of the AM-RB 001’s technical specification will be revealed in due course, but we already know it will feature a new, mid-mounted, high-revving, naturally aspirated V12 engine with the potency to achieve a 1:1 power-to-weight ratio; 1bhp per kilo of weight.
Total volume is expected to be between 99 and 150 road cars inclusive of all remaining prototypes and 25 track-only versions, with first deliveries commencing in 2018.
