Codenamed Project \u2018AM-RB 001\u2019, the new hypercar will represent the ultimate blend of cutting-edge F1 technology with Aston Martin\u2019s signature sports car design.<\/p>\n
The combined talents of Adrian Newey Red Bull Racing\u2019s chief technical officer, who is widely noted as the most successful Formula One designer of all time, and Marek Reichman, Aston Martin\u2019s design chief since 2005, are set to produce the ultimate hypercar.<\/p>\n
\u201cFormula One offers the ultimate global stage to build wider awareness of the Aston Martin brand,\u201d said Aston Martin CEO Dr Andy Palmer. \u201cHowever, this partnership will deliver even more than that when the hypercar that Aston Martin and Adrian Newey are in the process of developing hits the road.\u201d<\/p>\n
Combining the strongest elements of Red Bull Racing, Red Bull Advanced Technologies and Aston Martin, this new Innovation Partnership unites the world\u2019s best aerodynamicists, composite experts and manufacturing masters. All the parties offer different elite capabilities and the combination of all of those skills, ensuring that Project \u2018AM-RB 001\u2019promises to be an exciting prospect for customers and enthusiasts around the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are exciting times for Aston Martin and arriving hot on the heels of our DB11 launch earlier this month, this new partnership underlines that our brand really is racing<\/em> again,\u201d said Palmer.<\/p>\n Having an illustrious Formula One career spanning nearly 30 years and as the designer of 10 World Championship winning Formula One cars, the partnership represents a new challenge for Red Bull Racing\u2019s Adrian Newey.<\/p>\n \u201cFrom the age of six I have had two goals in life \u2013 to be involved in the design of racing cars, and to be involved in the design of a super car,\u201d said Newey. \u201cWhilst the former ambition went on to form my career to date, the latter has always bubbled away, resulting in countless sketches and doodles over the years.<\/p>\n \u201cThe opportunity to now develop and realise those ideas whilst working with Marek and his colleagues from Aston Martin is tremendously exciting.\u00a0 It allows us to translate the technology we have developed in F1 into a new arena.\u201d<\/p>\n The Aston Martin brand was borne out of the racing exploits of Lionel Martin – one of the founding partners of the British marque over 103 years ago – and the company made its international motor racing debut at the 1922 French Grand Prix.<\/p>\n While motorsport has always remained integral to the brand\u2019s DNA, the most famous moment in Aston Martin\u2019s significant motorsport history is the 1959 outright win at the Le Mans 24 Hours for Roy Salvadori and Carroll Shelby in the Aston Martin DBR1.<\/p>\n The modern Aston Martin Racing team, formed in 2005 has taken three class wins at Le Mans and will return to Circuit de la Sarthe again this June.<\/p>\n Aston Martin and Formula One team Red Bull Racing are partnerning to produce a ground-breaking Aston Martin hypercar.
