Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing hypercar
A new innovation partnership between the British luxury brand Aston Martin and F1TM team Red Bull Racing brings forth a car engineered to be entirely enjoyable as a road car, yet with the capability to outperform any road car on a race track. A track-only AM-RB 001 is also underway, created in line with LMP1 Le Mans sports prototypes.
Codenamed AM-RB 001, it will be built in the purpose-built facility created for Aston Martin’s original hypercar, the One-77. At the heart would be a new, mid-mounted, high-revving, naturally aspirated V12 engine that has the ability to achieve a 1:1 power-to-weight ratio; that is 1 bhp per kilo of weight.
