The Red Bull Racing RB3 is a Formula One racing car produced by Red Bull Racing for the 2007 season. It is the team's first true Adrian Newey designed car and will use Renault RS27 engines.

[edit] Controversy

Controversy surrounded the Red Bull team during the 2007 launch season as a row over customer cars erupted. Both Williams and Spyker claimed that the cars of Red Bull and Scuderia Toro Rosso were identical, having been designed by Red Bull Technology, a subsidiary of the Red Bull parent company, but not either of the race teams. In their view, this was a breach of F1's Concorde Agreement by allowing a customer car. The FIA however declared that the cars were legal for 2007.
