Max Verstappen’s "monster" RB20 replica made available to the public

A full-scale show car version of Red Bull's 2024 drivers' championship-winning RB20 has been made available through F1 Authentics in an extremely limited run.

Officially licensed by Oracle Red Bull Racing and produced by the memorabilia firm Memento Exclusives, these RB20 replicas are the first of their kind to be offered to the market. While they will be built to order, only 10 will be built in total. Price hasn't been confirmed.

The RB20 drove Max Verstappen to his fourth championship win. The Milton Keynes squad scored nine wins across the year, 18 podium finishes, eight pole positions, and 589 points through the driving of both the Dutchman and his team-mate Sergio Perez.

Built using computer-aided design data given to the manufacturer directly from the team, the replica will mirror the real chassis as closely as it's able. There are three liveries available, the standard 2024 livery, the Silverstone Grand Prix special edition, or the Las Vegas Grand Prix edition - made famous by the fact it was that race where Verstappen sealed his championship win, despite finishing fifth.

The buyer of these special remakes will have to sign a special licence agreement to become a Red Bull licensee. The press release reads, "To take advantage of this rare opportunity, you will be under an obligation not to use the show car to commit an unlawful act, disparage the Red Bull brand, or make political, religious or discriminatory statements."

The RB20 proved to be a "monster", according to the reigning champion. After a dominant 2023, the 2024 car proved to be unwieldy. As McLaren pushed its way up the constructors' championship, Red Bull responded, but balance issues plagued its season.

“The car is undriveable," Verstappen said at the time. "It’s a massive balance problem that we have, and that is not only over one lap but also the race.

“Last year we had a great car, which was the most dominant car ever, and we basically turned it into a monster.”

Despite reporting that the championship was "unrealistic", the team eventually was able to deliver a car close to that of the driver's expectations.
