2018 Aston Martin AM-RB 001

2018 Aston Martin AM-RB 001 Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing revealed their ground-breaking hypercar; codenamed AM-RB 001.

The fabricated from a unique Innovation Partnership between the British luxury emblem and eminent F1TM team, this formidable, uncompromising and wholly top notch collaboration combines the imaginative and prescient and skills of  world-leading manufacturers to create a avenue automobile the like of which has in no way been visible before.

The 3 guys charged with realising this shared vision are Adrian Newey, Red Bull Racing's Chief Technical Officer and the sector's most successful F1TM fashion designer, Marek Reichman, Aston Martin EVP and Chief Creative Officer and David King, VP and Chief Special Operations Officer. Together they spearhead a formidable alliance. One that combines more than a hundred years of specialism - each with heritage, making a number of the arena's maximum stunning and charismatic GT vehicles, and with technological brilliance and relentless pursuit of velocity and efficiency that has visible Red Bull Racing excel in the ferociously competitive global of Formula One.

Reichman and Newey are working closely on all factors of the task, striving to make sure the AM-RB 001 is an extraordinary fusion of form and feature: a car engineered to be completely useable and fun as a road vehicle, however with the functionality to carry out like no avenue vehicle before it on a race track. For folks that crave a fair extra intensely targeted driving revel in, a tune-only AM-RB 001 is also in development, the projected overall performance of that is in line with that of modern LMP1 Le Mans sports prototypes.

Built round a lightweight carbon fibre shape, the AM-RB 001 boasts truly radical aerodynamics for unprecedented levels of downforce in a street-prison vehicle. Thanks to the genius of Newey's layout much of this downforce is generated thru underfloor aerodynamics, leaving Reichman free to craft a natural yet breathtaking dramatic form that elegantly expresses each the AM-RB 001's contemporary dynamism and the unmistakable essence of Aston Martin.

Uncompromising in all respects, the AM-RB 001 is a bespoke device from the tyres up. It could be constructed via David King and his team at Gaydon, within the cause-constructed facility created for Aston Martin's original hypercar, the One-77. More information of the AM-RB 001's technical specification could be revealed in due direction, however its coronary heart is a new, mid-set up, excessive-revving, certainly aspirated V12 engine with the potency to obtain a 1:1 energy-to-weight ratio; 1 bhp in keeping with kilo of weight.

To deal with the acute aerodynamic loadings at excessive speeds but supply the on-road usability and comfort tiers that sit on the heart of the idea, the AM-RB 001's suspension system will function revolutionary technology and appoint concepts honed through Newey over his thirty 12 months profession. Likewise, the transmission is a smooth-sheet layout conceived with the aid of Newey and evolved via Red Bull Advanced Technologies.

While boundary-pushing performance is definitely of paramount significance, so too is first-rate efficiency and packaging. Newey's unrivalled knowledge has enabled the AM-RB 001 to be extraordinarily light and compact, but provide authentic consolation and space for driving force and passenger and residence a V12 engine.

Adrian Newey, Red Bull Racing's Chief Technical Officer, says of the AM-RB 001 mission: "I've long harboured the choice to layout a road automobile. The formation of Red Bull Advanced Technologies introduced me a step toward realising that ambition, but I believed we have to work with an car producer. Aston Martin became on the pinnacle of my list. The synergy between Red Bull Racing and Aston Martin is clear. I knew Red Bull Racing had the potential to handle the natural overall performance factors, but Aston Martin's experience of making lovely, fast and secure GT automobiles is of tremendous advantage to the undertaking. I've always been adamant that the AM-RB 001 should be a real road car it's additionally capable of excessive performance on the right track, and this indicates it really has to be a car of  characters. That's the secret we're seeking to put into this car - the generation that permits it to be docile and at ease, but with tremendous outright talents."

David King, Aston Martin's VP and Chief Special Operations Officer, provides: "Working at Aston Martin way you get to be a part of a few genuinely unique projects, however the AM-RB 001 is a dream - a true once-in-a-lifetime possibility. Of path it is a large engineering venture, too, however the game-converting targets of this programme have a uniquely energising effect on anybody involved. We have world-elegance humans and centers at Gaydon. We're all influenced to acquire splendid matters and take Aston Martin to the absolute top of road vehicle performance."

Marek Reichman, Aston Martin's Chief Creative Officer, says of the AM-RB 001: "Working so intently alongside Adrian and an agency like Red Bull Racing is a appropriate revel in. By definition the targets we've got set for the auto ensures there has in no way been an Aston Martin - or any automobile, honestly - quite just like the AM-RB 001. The shared task has been finding that magical tipping factor in which we attain the maximum efficient engineering solutions and the maximum beautiful styling answers with none compromises. My personal venture has been expressing the AM-RB 001's super performance and the unique way wherein it delivers that overall performance. Its style reflects its progressive nature, while owning the shape and beauty that makes it unmistakably an Aston Martin."

Dr Andy Palmer, Aston Martin President and CEO, commented: "The AM-RB 001 is a honestly high-quality undertaking and some thing of which I'm extraordinarily proud. To have Aston Martin working along Adrian Newey, Red Bull Racing and the priceless help of undertaking partner AF Racing AG is an exceptional innovative collaboration. One that unites the very first-rate of avenue and race automobile thinking. As the assignment gathers pace its clean the cease result might be a genuinely history-making hypercar that sets exquisite new benchmarks for packaging, performance and performance and an achievement that elevates Aston Martin to the very maximum degree."

Christian Horner, Team Principal, Red Bull Racing said: "Red Bull Racing has continually suggested an modern path in our ongoing development of a competitive Formula One vehicle. The thought and modus operandi of Red Bull Technologies has been to apply our expertise to absolutely progressive tasks and partnerships. Our relationship with Aston Martin and the realisation of the AM-RB 001 is pioneering and borne of our synergies and preference to break new floor. The AM-RB 001 is the inspirational manufactured from this collaborative spirit."

Continuing the on-going Innovation Partnership, the challenge of engineering the AM-RB 001 will be shared among Q by Aston Martin Advanced and Red Bull Advanced Technologies, with production taking region at Aston Martin's Gaydon facility. Total volume can be among ninety nine and 150 avenue cars including all final prototypes and 25 tune-handiest versions, with first deliveries starting off in 2018.
