The Red Bull RB17, a track-only hypercar with a naturally aspirated V10 engine, will make its global dynamic debut at this weekend's Goodwood Festival of Speed.
The car is powered by a 4.5-liter Cosworth V10 that revs to 15,000 rpm and produces 1,000 horsepower, without any hybrid technology.

Drivers and Design
Current Red Bull F1 driver Isack Hadjar, test and reserve driver Yuki Tsunoda, and Red Bull Racing Academy driver Alisha Palmowski will drive the RB17 up the Goodwood hill.
Adrian Newey, the car's designer and now Aston Martin F1 team principal, will also take the wheel.
The RB17 was first previewed two years ago and appeared in production form about six months ago.
Unlike the Aston Martin Valkyrie, also penned by Newey, the RB17 was built purely for track use, allowing Red Bull to make it as extreme as possible.
Limited Production and Price
Production of the RB17 is capped at 50 units, with a starting price of $6.7 million.

“At Red Bull, we're at our best when we're taking on challenges that others might consider impossible,” said Rob Gray, technical director of Red Bull Advanced Technologies.
“RB17 is exactly that.
