The Red Bull RB17 is an upcoming limited production track-only hybrid sports car produced by Red Bull Advanced Technologies, the commercial technology and engineering arm of Formula One team Red Bull Racing. Primarily designed by Red Bull Racing's Chief Technical Officer, designer, and aerodynamicist Adrian Newey, with additional assistance from team engineers,[1][2] the RB17 is Red Bull's first production car.[3][4]
The name RB17 is derived from Red Bull Racing's Formula One car naming scheme sequence, having been skipped in 2021 when the 2020 RB16 was reused as the RB16B and was followed in 2022 by the RB18. The car was unveiled to the public as a non-working full-scale version on 12 July 2024 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.[5] Production is scheduled to begin in 2025, and will be limited to 50 cars, costing £5 million each.[6][7]
