Red Bull turned Sebastian Vettel’s RB8 into a METRO TRAIN. 🏎️➡️🚇🤯
What happens when you take a Formula 1 car that was built to attack race tracks and put it on a railway?
Red Bull apparently decided to find out. 😂
The car in question is the RB8, the machine Sebastian Vettel drove during the 2012 Formula 1 season. Powered by a Renault 2.4-liter V8, the RB8 was designed around one goal: extracting maximum performance from every corner, straight and braking zone.

And the contrast is absolutely ridiculous.
A Formula 1 car normally has four tiny contact patches with the track, enormous aerodynamic loads and a suspension system designed specifically for racing. A metro train, meanwhile,...
