You might want to sit down and pay attention to this one. Today, Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing have announced they are to work together to build a ‘ground-breaking’ new Aston*hypercar.

It’s codenamed ‘AM-RB 001’ – how very Bond – and is said to meld Formula One tech to Aston’s “signature sports car design”. In fact, RB boss Christian Horner reckons it will become the ‘ultimate of all road cars’ when it appears, likely in*2018.

Red Bull Racing’s Adrian Newey and Aston’s Marek Reichman are the brains behind the new car, which isn’t a track-only special (like the Vulcan), but one built specifically for the*road.

At this early stage then, details are naturally thin. Aston reckons it will boast Formula One and LMP1-style performance, with the lofty ambition of posting a lap time around Silverstone quicker than today’s crop of F1 cars.*Yikes.

Of course, no engine or drivetrain specifics have been mentioned as yet, but a hybrid could be under consideration. And surely Aston must be thinking about deploying some iteration of that lovely 7.0-litre V12 from the track-only*Vulcan?

We’ll find out soon enough - apparently we’ll see some fruit of their labours before the year is out. It’ll be grippy, no doubt, with Newey’s F1 expertise pivotal to the AM–RB 001’s likely high levels of downforce, and Reichman’s penmanship put to the*extreme.

Damn tu imagine avec ce design pour vrai lol, tu es dans le centre et tu peux pas voir NULPART à part directement en avant parce que tu es submergée tout le tour par tes propres ailes qui sont plus hautes que les vitres lol
 
Le pire ces que je crois quelle va ressembler plus a ceci.



Car cette voiture a été dessiner par Adrian Newey et ces lui qui est en charge de la faire :)
Car soyons réaliste si il veulent battre une F1 sur le circuit de Silverstone ça va prendre une voiture dans ce genre la.
 
Pretty much, there's a bunch of stupid rich people and everyone else is poor. There's no one left in the middle so why make cars for them?

Makes sense. I've always said if I was to start out something it would be fucking high-end because they will never stop, but with middle class, you,re at the mercy of the economy.
 
The middle class wants to live like the richs, so making a middle-class/semi high end car is much safer than making a super economic car imo.
