It’s really something special to be that property of Adrian Newey. The eikpunten: thousand hp, 10.000 revolutions per minute, slightly more than a thousand pounds empty weight, no outlandish spoilers.
Last week, it was a fun trip in the planning for owners of the Aston Martin Vulcan, a track day at the American circuit of Road Atlanta. In the context of that day, the representatives of Aston Martin, apparently of their potential customers a preview with images and specs of the up to now AM-RB001 mentioned which hypercar of the brand. One of the attendees now has secretly sent an email to Jalopnik and so now we know more about the hyper-which hypercar.
To start with the name, the industrial aanhorende ‘AM-RB001’ is in the corridors of the Aston Martin and Red Bull traded in for the new project name ‘Nebula’. Whether this is also the final name of the car is still shrouded in mystery.
The informer makes further reference to the Caparo T1 as he describes it, on the basis of which we draw the conclusion that the more a race car for the street is a very fast GT as the Chiron. A variant of the 7.0 litre V12 which is also in the Vulcan service provides the necessary horsepower. The engine is, however, (without turbo!) still further raised to about a thousand horsepower in a ten-thousand revolutions per minute. That must be a bucket of noise music deliver like mad.
Where the Chiron is a heavy boy is with plus minus two-thousand pounds is the weight of the Nebula about the same. But than expressed in ‘pounds’. Approximately 2,300 pound the sportsman weigh, about 1.050 pounds. That means Formula 1-approximate figures of 1 horsepower per kilo. The car will reportedly be no cake-servers on the front and back, because Newey has with the huge aerodynamics lump in his brain apparently found a way to keep the car on the road without that kind of wings. The informer has it on ‘negative space’, a term normally used by arty-farty types. But think in this case, in addition to Ford GT-like windkanalen only then, of course, even more extreme. In the words of the tipper:
“…a body designed with ” a massive amount of negative space’ and no wings or spoilers. The underside of the car was described as featuring F1-inspired ‘venturi channels’ flowing to an ‘upside-down jigsaw wing’ that pulls the car down with air flowing in through a recognizable Aston Martin designed mouth. Again, all without the help of any tails or fins up top, because downforce is good and it’s cooler if you can’t see how it’s happening.”
Understand. Oppernerd Newey let us ordinary nerds out there look bad, that is clear. The interior seems to be a tandem affair to be where the driver and passenger less than well with each other by a door. It is nice in which hypercar:
“…a surprisingly large interior with tandem seating, and the driver and passenger as close as they can get’ and slightly angled in a v-shape with the point at the feet.”
Despite the comparison with the Caparo and this description of the position gets the car like a typical Aston-style characteristics and was the car to the lucky bastards presented in British Racing Green. A little bit of tradition, there is still over at the old British brand.
We are now very curious about this creation. Let know if you share our enthusiasm, in the comments.
