Red Bull is selling the RB20 as an exclusive replica and is only building ten units – buyers must sign a strict contract for the championship car
A show car version of the Red Bull RB20, with which Max Verstappen won the Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship in 2024, is available in an extremely limited edition through ‘F1 Authentics’.
Officially licensed by Oracle Red Bull Racing and manufactured by memorabilia company Memento Exclusives, the RB20 replicas are the first of their kind to hit the market. The cars are made to order, with only ten being built in total. A price has not yet been confirmed.
The RB20 carried Max Verstappen to his fourth title win. The Milton Keynes-based team achieved nine wins, 18 podium finishes, eight pole positions, and a total of 589 points over the course of the year thanks to the performances of the Dutchman and his teammate Sergio Perez.
Copied as closely as possible
The replica was created using CAD (computer-aided design) data obtained directly from the team and is as close as possible to the real chassis. There are three paint schemes to choose from: the standard 2024 design, the special edition for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, or the version for the Las Vegas Grand Prix—the race in which Verstappen sealed his title win despite finishing only fifth.
The buyer of these special replicas must sign a separate license agreement to become an official Red Bull licensee.
The press release states: “To take advantage of this rare opportunity, you agree not to use the show car for any illegal activities, to disparage the Red Bull brand, or to make political, religious, or discriminatory statements.”
Back then, it was a “monster”
According to the reigning world champion, the RB20 turned out to be a “monster.” After a dominant 2023, the 2024 car proved to be cumbersome. While McLaren caught up in the constructors’ championship, Red Bull responded, but balance issues plagued the team throughout the season.
“The car is undriveable,” Verstappen said at the time. “We have a massive balance problem, not just over one lap, but also in the race.”
“Last year we had a great car, the most dominant car ever, and we basically turned it into a monster,” was the Dutchman’s damning verdict. Although he reported at one point that the championship was “unrealistic,” the team ultimately managed to deliver a car that was closer to the driver’s expectations.
