Actually, supercar doesn’t even begin to
describe the vehicle which Red Bull tech genius Adrian Newey, and Aston Martin
designer Marek Reichman, have created.
It’s way beyond ‘super’ – in fact the
concept stretches every automotive design and engineering boundary you can
imagine.
Essentially it is a drop-dead gorgeous
‘body’, sitting on an aerodynamically-perfect ‘platform’.
It would appear that
both men designed their own specialty, then married them together to form one
of the most spectacular road/racing car combinations we’ve ever seen.
Mind you, it’s just a concept at the
moment. The car you see in these photos is not yet road-going – but neither is
it too far from reality.
It will be powered by a ‘brand-new’ (?) 5.3L
naturally aspirated V12, with a whole new take on gearboxes, conceived by Newey.
The V12 will rev to 11,000 rpm according to Newey!
According to Team 001 (Newey &
Reichman) it will have an ‘active’ suspension, because the downloads generated
by Newey’s ‘platform’ are so great that if you used regular springs to counter
the downforce, the low speed ride would be far too stiff, not just for comfort,
but also handling.
If you think that’s daylight you can see
when looking at the photos from various angles, you’re right.
The body/tub will
accommodate two people, and according to my good friend Marek, it will even fit
two guys the same size as him!
This is an ambitious project, but an
exciting one. It’s the first time I can remember being breathless with anticipation
at the final outcome. I was thrilled to get behind the wheel of a Bugatti
Veyron, but the AM RB 001 is something else again.
I can’t wait to see how the concept is
refined and ‘smoothed’ into a road car. Deliveries may begin in 2018, and
according to Marek, the order book for the 99 versions is filling fast. Even
that’s gobsmacking, because the price is suggested around £2m-£3 million!
Well done guys! This is one of the most
exciting vehicle concepts I’ve seen in years.
You could save your advertising dollars and spend your time going to dozens of dealers to try and trade-in your car, truck, motorcycle or boat. Most people simply go the route of a trade-in because it saves them time and effort. It's all most people know too. But most likely they aren't getting as much as they could for their car, truck, motorcycle or boat. vin decoder ford
