The ultimate Red Bull car design explained

Adrian Newey's final Red Bull isn't a Formula 1 car - but it might actually be even faster. And could it one day race at the Le Mans 24 Hours with Max Verstappen behind the wheel?

We explain everything you need to know about the RB17 and what makes it so quick.

You CANNOT claim your car can race for a full 24hours without actually doing it, that was literally why Le mans was started. Believe it when it finishes the race.

[Jtheman]

This feels like an Ai written and produced video.

[RANDOMZBOSSMAN]

We need to see this car around James May favourite track of all time lmao

I wonder how close it would get to the 919Evo

An awesome looking car and love the technology used

I've read Samarth's technically-minded comments on The Race before. This is the first time I've heard his voice. It's buttery-smooth; I mean this in the nicest possible way, I could listen to him talk me to sleep!

Could it run at LeMans as a Garage 56 entry?
The Nascar Garage 56 entry a couple of years ago was spectacular and added to the spectator experience of the event. The RB17 would add to event in the same way.

Im just happy we finally getting a Redbull Prototype, this in my eyes is the road version of what adrian started way back on gran turismo

An F1 Triple Test is needed: RB17, Valkyrie, AMG One

[Marc-zivg]

is it me or every racecar engineer who has been doing it since the 80's has a soft spot for 3.5L Group C

Seen some ridiculous comments that this video is AI generated because they haven’t heard Samarth on this channel before

He is a regular on the website and multiple podcasts, he definitely exists 😂 look forward to hearing more from him!

[adriangaber]

Adrian Newey and Gordon Murray should team up to make the ultimate car

[Wafflecombo]

If this car can meet emission standards then I don’t see why v10s can’t make a return to the sport

[serenawatkins]

Unless it’s an oval, very little would be quicker than a F1 car around a circuit, and that includes the RB17 which would be slower too. But I have little doubt that in standard trim, the RB17 would be much quicker than not just a Le Mans Hypercar, but the older LMP1 cars too. I’d love to see a LMH version of the RB17, going up against what would be a kind of in-house rival. Valkyrie and RB17 at Le Mans would be awesome.

Can't wait for RB to do a RB Move and make it race against one of their F1 Cars

[CTBN]

Car is very planted in all angles but also streamlined that air simply passes through flawlessly and still looks incredibly gorgeous.

[iamthedrumandbassfarmer]

Like hell will they make the RB17 into a Hypercar. Because if they do it'll be a wholly unique car that happens to have the same name and vaguely similar appearance like the Valkyrie LMH.

[omarhall]

Newey designed a car similar to this back in 2010, I think, for the Gran Turismo game but it looked even cooler

[y_fam_goeglyd]

No matter what the car manages to achieve in the future, you've got to agree it's bloody beautiful!

[espvp]

I don’t wanna be that guy but…
Guys, we got a literal Red Bull road car before GTA VI

Samarth has become one of my fav writers on the race. His dry sense of humor gets me good😂
