Overview

Aero Without Limits is the definitive, fact-driven account of Red Bull Advanced Technologies' first customer hypercar: the RB17. Conceived as a two-seat, track-only machine and unveiled at Goodwood in 2024, the RB17 fuses an underfloor-led aerodynamic philosophy with a Cosworth-developed 4.5-litre V10 and compact hybrid assist, all built and supported from the Milton Keynes campus. This book documents what has been publicly stated through August 2025 and weaves those verified details into a clear, readable narrative of concept, design, build, and use. Across twenty-six chapters, the story moves from the program's origins inside a championship-winning Formula 1 organization to the practical realities of creating a limited run of fifty cars. Readers step through the aero-first development flow, simulation stack, wind-tunnel correlation, and the control strategies that preserve pedal truth while sharing work with electrons. The text also explains the manufacturing discipline-composites, metrology, change control-and the factory-backed ownership model that includes simulator preparation, on-event engineering, and documented service. Set against the broader arc of modern high-performance engineering, Aero Without Limits shows how a race-bred culture can deliver a coherent product: a car designed for repeatable pace, safety appropriate to circuit use, and an operating philosophy that turns extraordinary performance into a routine. The result is a clean, factual scaffold for anyone tracking the RB17's milestones, intent, and lasting significance.
