Not content with beating Ferrari and McLaren on the track, Red Bull designer Adrian Newey has gone into competition with them on the road. The result is the stunning Aston Martin AM-RB 001 -- a hypercar of jaw-dropping beauty that is designed to lap the Silverstone grand prix circuit faster than an F1 car.Those in the supercar market have been spoilt for choice in recent years, with La Ferrari, the McLaren P1 and the Porsche 918 all raising the bar to a new level. But where most people saw automotive perfection in those three models, Newey saw room for improvement.The ideas behind the car are almost in the opposite direction to some of the cars youve just mentioned, in that its much smaller and lighter, he explained at the launch on Tuesday. Its about trying to keep it pure and simple and light, with a tightly packaged, aerodynamic body.Although the exact details of the car and its engine have not been released, the defining rules of the AM-RB 001s design have been mapped out. The car will weigh less than 1,000kg (La Ferrari weighs 1255kg, the P1 weighs 1,345kg and the 918 weighs 1,704kg) and have a 1:1 power-to-weight ratio -- meaning close to 1,000bhp.It will benefit from underfloor aerodynamics, producing unprecedented levels of downforce for a road car and the potential to pull serious G-force in corners. Some of the ideas are based on Neweys F1 experience, but other concepts were developed in virtual reality when designing a race car for PlayStation game Grand Turismo.Its been an evolution of ideas that Ive thrown in the box over the years. In some ways it is an evolution of an F1 car, morphing into the PlayStation X1 car and then this. There is a similarity and in some ways it is a covered X1 PlayStation car and its trying to get those principals together to get the aerodynamics form underneath, and get a canopy to fit two people inside.In that way its a bit of a Tardis, because weve tried to keep this small, many cars have become big and clumsy, but weve tried to keep this small and compact. Initially when a lot of people look at it from the outside they think its a single seater, but its not, its a two-seater. Its using the packaging experience that we have developed in Formula One to get a lot of the components -- the driver, the engine, the radiators and everything else into the form that you see here. And that has been a challenge.The engine will not be turbocharged but instead a bespoke, normally-aspirated, high-revving V12. Aston Martin have promised the compact V12 will break ground with new technology and a hybrid element has not been ruled out.We studied V6 twin turbos, V8s, single turbos and all the rest of it, Newey explained. Weight and packaging are large factors, the car is tightly packaged, and while turbochargers initially look attractive because the engine is so small, you have to put the turbos and intercoolers somewhere, so there are lots of extra bits and pieces that come associated with turbos.So in the end the engine that offered the most performance in terms of the overall package, was a normally-aspirated engine and to get a normally aspirated engine with the sort of power we wanted, it had to be a V12.Although 25 track-focused cars will be added to the end of the production run, both Aston Martin and Newey have stressed that the road-going model is not simply a race car for the road. The cockpit has been designed to accommodate Marek Reichman, Aston Martins six-foot-four-inch Chief Creative Officer, in comfort and it will have all the mod cons expected of a supercar, including air conditioning.First of all its a road car and that means it really has to be a car of two characters, one that is capable of extreme performance when you want it -- probably by taking it to the track -- but equally it has to comfortable driving down the Kings Road, Newey said. So if it comes across as an LMP1 car on the road with all its discomforts and compromises then we would have failed.But take it to the race track in its road going guise as you see here, then its performance would be very high. Going to the next level, there will be a small production run of track-only cars that we will put on the end and they will be in the LMP1-type areas of performance.The bad news? We will have to wait until late 2017 to see the first working prototypes before the car finally reaches customers in early 2019.Over to you Ferrari and McLaren ... Nike Sf Air Force 1 Saldi .
