Racing’s favorite energy drink brand is becoming a hypercar manufacturer.
Known for a formidable F1 team along with a host of other incredible racing efforts, Red Bull has become so much more than just an energy drink brand, and now, Red Bull is taking its racing brand to the next level with the announcement of the new RB17 hypercar, a car that makes the thrilling performance of Red Bull’s F1 cars, and makes it available to the customer. Like the Mercedes-AMG ONE, and the Aston Martin Valkyrie, a car that Red Bull had a big hand in developing, and was designed by the RB17’s designer from Red Bull, Adrian Newey, the RB17 is heavily derived from the brand’s F1 car.
