What happens when one of the most successful Formula One racing teams and iconic car designers come together? ‘Hypercar’, a class above your regular supercars.
And that is exactly what Red Bull Racing and Aston Martin are going to build, at least that is what they say.
The companies have announced a collaboration between Red Bull Racing’s Chief Technical Officer, Adrian Newey and Aston Martin’s Chief Creative Officer, Marek Reichman, to produce a ground-breaking Aston Martin Hypercar, codenamed ‘AM-RB 001.’
What this partnership means is that the new hypercar will be a blend of Red Bull Racing’s Formula One technology expertise and Aston Martin’s design philosophy.
The collaboration between the two giants kicks off with Red Bull Racing’s Formula One car sporting the Aston Martin logo throughout the 2016 season.
When will the AM-RB 001 come out? No one knows. Will it actually be a hypercar? Given what these companies are capable of, it just might be.
