Connected to a Ricardo seven-speed gearbox.
Red Bull, Red Bull and Cosworth are all available. It seems like the perfect match in hypercar heaven. These two men have come together to create a hypercar with a remarkable power-to-weight ratio. Cosworth will engineer a custom-made, 6.5-liter V12 naturally-aspirated high-revving engine to harness the company’s F1 knowledge.
Ricardo created a new twelve-cylinder that will be connected to a paddle-shift, seven speed transmission for the . This was specifically designed to use a MonoCell made of carbon fiber representing Multimatic.
Rimac is another name that’s worth mentioning. Rimac, a Croatian-based company that is responsible for the lightweight hybrid hybrid battery system for the hypercar’s hypercar, will be the one to thank.
Bosch will also supply the AMRB 001’s ECU, traction control unit, and ESP. Alcon and Surface Transforms will provide stopping power with super-light brake discs matched with carbon discs. Wipac, based in the UK, will supply full-LED taillights and headlights.
Although an exact weight has not been revealed, the Aston Martin/Red Bull joint-venture hypercar will weigh in at 1,000 kg (2,204 lbs). AM’s chief designer Marek Richman has confirmed that the powertrain will produce 1,000 horsepower. The AM-RB 001 will have enough V12 power to sprint to 200 mph (322 kph), in just 10 seconds, and reach a top speed exceeding 250 mph (402 kph).
Aston Martin is determined to keep the concept’s design unique. This is why 150 units, including prototypes, will be produced along with 25 track-only vehicles. The production version of the concept will keep 95 percent of its design and will be given a proper name. Deliveries to customers are expected to begin in 2019, at a cost of around $3 million per unit. All road-going units have been pre-sold while some race cars may still be available.
Mercedes-AMG will present its F1-engined Project One at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Audi may also unveil a hypercar to take advantage of the strong demand in the future for multi-million-dollar halo vehicles.
