We are seriously curious.

Potential customers already know how the which hypercar from Aston Martin and Red Bull will look like. During the weekend of the GP of Monaco was a secret unveiled. The shown model is a life-size version made of clay or plastic, but must be in appearance as much as 70 to 80 percent appear on the final production model.

There are 99 pieces build the car, now known under the code name AM-RB 001. The appearance is for us ordinary mortals still secret, but a friend of Autoblog reader @cr37 walked among the attendees.

A friend has him 2 weeks ago and seen in Monaco during the GP. What he said about it comes across really match up with what’s in this article. The interior is very small and he think there is only 2 people fit. The interior is very small due to the aerodynamics under the car. Because there is so much space under the car you lie as a formula 1 driver in the car. He found the car more on a lmp1 car will appear on a caparo t1. So a rectangular floor where the caparo an open floor behind the front wheels. I’m very curious. It looks apparently very good but is extremely expensive.

Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer has said no price tag to reveal the AM-RB 001. The which hypercar is probably more than 2.5 million euros in costs. A running prototype should be in the spring of 2017 ready. The car gets a mid-engine and a hybrid powertrain will also likely have a role. About that last one, there is still some uncertainty. Aston Martin and Red Bull want the weight of the sample as low as possible, it is a heavy battery so not welcome. The PM-RB-001 will in the summer of 2018 officially unveiled. (via Autocar)
