Red Bull RB17

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 former Chief Technical Officer, designer, and aerodynamicist Adrian Newey, with additional assistance from team engineers, the RB17 is Red Bull's first production car.

The car was unveiled to the public as a non-working full-scale version on 12 July 2024 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Production is scheduled to begin in 2026, and will be limited to 50 cars, costing £5 million each.
