Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing have reportedly teamed up to give us an “ultra-high performance” car.
Details about the project are still thin, but Britain’s Autocar says the car will be a successor to the track-ready Vulcan, drawing from Aston’s partnership with Mercedes-AMG by using a handful of components and tech from the German automaker.
With Red Bull Formula One engineer Adrian Newey in charge of the project, you can most definitely bet on Aston Martin’s mystery model being aimed squarely at the likes of the LaFerrari FXX K and the McLaren P1 GTR.
“It’s something Adrain is keen to do as a legacy project,” Red Bull Racing head Christian Horner told Autocar at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last week. “At the moment, our focus is on being a Formula One constructor, but as we see more technology cross over with the road car market, it’s something that will organically grow.”
Expect to see Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing’s hypercar to debut sometime around 2018.
