Red Bull and Aston Martin’s ridiculously expensive new supercar

Earlier this year, Aston Martin and Red Bull announced that they would be working on the world’s fastest hypercar, dubbed Project Nebula.

It has now emerged that not only will the number of units be limited to 99 worldwide, but will set buyers back a cool R85,000,000 ($5.8 million).

“The car will reportedly be a petrol-electric hybrid and the design will be focused on speed and as a result is expected to weigh little more than top-tier Le Mans prototype cars that just competed in the 24-hour endurance race known as ‘the Grand Prix of Endurance and Efficiency,” reports Yahoo.

“Sale of the car will likely be localised to a handful of markets, given that regulations could prohibit its sale in some countries. Thus the 99 future editions of the car are expected to predominantly end up in Europe and the Middle East.”

The vehicle is not expected to launch until 2018, but Aston Martin is expected to showcase the super car to prospective buyers at the Monaco Grand Prix.
