In an exciting new development Aston Martin has announced a link up with legendary F1 designer Adrian Newey create its next generation hypercar.
Red Bull Racing Chief Technical Officer Newey will collaborate on the project, codenamed AM-RB 001, with Marek Reichman, Chief Creative Officer of Aston Martin. Newey has produced ten F1 World Championship winning cars over the past three decades, while Reichman has designed the DB11, Vulcan, and One-77 amongst others since taking up his post with Aston Martin in 2005.
Aston Martin CEO Dr Andy Palmer said: “Formula One offers the ultimate global stage to build wider awareness of the Aston Martin brand. However, 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. Between Q by Aston Martin Advanced, Red Bull Advanced Technologies and project partner AF Racing AG, we are going to create a car that will excite and stir the imaginations of the car designers of the future and a global audience of sports car enthusiasts. These 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 again.”
“From the age of six I have had two goals in life – to be involved in the design of racing cars, and to be involved in the design of a super car,” said Newey. “Whilst 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. The opportunity to now develop and realise those ideas whilst working with Marek and his colleagues from Aston Martin is tremendously exciting. It allows us to translate the technology we have developed in F1 into a new arena.”
