Red Bull is set to launch the RB17 hypercar at the Goodwood Festival in July. Notably, the Milton Keynes outfit is celebrating 20 years of Red Bull in Formula 1, featuring the main driver, David Coulthard, who made his debut in 2005 following his retirement, which was there in 2008. However, the centrepiece of Red Bull's exhibit will be the all-new RC17 hypercar, which was designed by Chief Technical Officer Adrian Newey.

Red Bull has recently shared the statement that the new RB17 will be designed, developed, and manufactured entirely in-house with carbon fire this time. Meanwhile, Red Bull Technologies was formed in 2014, and it helps bring elements of F1 technology to other applications and disciplines.

"Designed, developed, and manufactured entirely in-house, the RB17 will feature a two-seat carbon fibre monocoque chassis with a semi-stressed mid mounted V10 engine and a carbon fibre gearbox driving the rear wheels. We’ve channelled everything we know about racing into making the ultimate performance car and can’t wait for the public to see the result," Red Bull said of its impending launch.
