Hype: The Red Bull x Aston Martin AM-RB 001 Collab Concept Car Will Debut In Canada

If you told me 15 years ago that an energy drink company and Aston Martin were going to team up to build a hypercar together I would have thought you were nuts.  Yet, here we are.  The world at large has known for quite a while that Aston Martin and Red Bull have been working on a concept car together and while the car has been completed for a while, it hasn’t actually had an “official” debut yet.

That is all going to change in about 4 days though because Aston Martin is bringing the AM-RB 001 concept car to the Canadian International Autoshow.  This will be the first time the AM-RB 001 will be in North America and the first time its been at an auto show period.  As to why Aston Martin and Red Bull chose the great white north to debut the car rather than the states is unknown.  However, if you live anywhere near the Toronto area then congrats!  You get to see this beauty up close in just a few days.  As for the rest of us?  Well I guess we just have to hope that Aston Martin decides to bring the car state-side in the near future after its Canadian debut.
