The Red Bull F1 Team and Aston Martin are partnering together to launch a mid-engined sports car that would lock horns with the likes of LaFerrari and McLaren on the racing roads. The hypercar, when launched, is touted to set a new benchmark for others to follow. It would come with a price tag of approximately Rs 9 crore. Reportedly, the hypercars development team calls it as ‘brother of the Valkyrie’.
The LaFerrari and the McLaren P1 dawned the roads in 2013. A comparatively large gap is noticed between successive versions upgrades of such decade-defining cars. There was a gap of more than a decade between the launch of Enzo and LaFerrari. The reason for this is that such halo offerings or products consume a lot of production resource as well as require best technical brains. Keeping this in mind, we can say that This will give some initial advantage to the Aston-Red Bull hypercar.
The hypercar from the Aston-Red Bull partnership will surpass performance parameters of all previous production cars. Its potential competitors will include special editions that come out from the Ferrari and McLaren production house. The Senna GTR is a likely potential competitor.
