Nuvey rarely "spoils" a number of "black technologies" of the Red Bull supercar RB17 in advance

In a recent episode of the Red Bull Podcast, Adrian Nuvey broke the mold and revealed some details about the RB17, the most exciting of which was the "active suspension" technology he used when he was playing for Williams in the 90s of the 20th century.

and the blow-pipe technology he used on the RB7, which meant that Red Bull's first supercar integrated the unique skills of both the FW15 and RB7.

In addition, according to the information revealed by Nevey, the RB17 will be a two-seater supercar, with a bare weight of 900 kg, which is about 100 kg heavier than the F1 car, but the V10 naturally aspirated engine equipped with this car can reach a maximum speed of 15,000 rpm/ minutes, with a maximum power of 1,000 hp and a 200 hp electric motor, which allows it to basically reach the lap times of an F1 car, in addition to the mechanical grip and tail downforce brought by the active suspension and blow-off exhaust technology, the aerodynamic package of the entire supercar can provide about 1.7 tons of downforce at 240 km/h, which is almost twice the weight of the body, the car's aerodynamic efficiency is incredible, and in terms of downforce, the RB17 will set a new benchmark for civilian supercars.

In addition to this, the RB17 also has a chassis adaptation system, that is, the grip balance between the front and rear axles is achieved by adjusting the chassis height, in this way, the car can cater to both understeer and oversteer two different driving styles.

When asked how much the car would be produced, Neuvey revealed that it was 50 units, but only 49 would be booked for some special customers, and the other he hoped would be reserved for himself.
