Lanzante has confirmed to TopGear.com that it intends on making Adrian Newey’s RB17 hypercar road-legal. Which means your weekly trip to the supermarket will be to the tune of a 1,000bhp 4.5-litre Cosworth V10 that's boosted by a 200bhp electric motor. Probably.

That’s right. Newey’s unhinged hypercar designed and built specifically to blitz lap times and your intestines will soon be set loose into the wild. Speed bumps and width restrictors will prove… an interesting challenge.

“Following on from a bumper Goodwood Festival of Speed, British automotive engineering specialist Lanzante has confirmed it will work on road legalisation of the newly announced Red Bull RB17,” the company said.

“Early customers for the track-only model have engaged with Lanzante regarding the road conversion programme, and work will start immediately to develop the necessary upgrades to allow it to be driven on public roads.

“Lanzante will work closely with owners to develop a road legal version of the V10-powered RB17, ensuring the project stays true to the original design brief, allowing for optimised performance on track, but also useable on road.”

It's got a fair bit of experience making track-optimised performance cars usable on the road. Lanzante's first foray into roadlegalisationings first began in the Nineties when, after winning the Le Mans 24hrs with McLaren, the British automotive firm converted an F1 GTR for use on British tarmac. Later came road-going versions of the P1 GTR and Senna GTR, then stuff like the Pagani Zonda Revolucion, Pagani Huayra R and as of last week, the Porsche 935.

With each RB17 costing £5m, Lanzante’s conversion will sit somewhere between £250,000-£500,000, though this is a very rough figure and the final price will of course hinge on a number of important factors.

But the most important factor is thus: one of the rarest, most exotic and powerful cars built by the world’s greatest F1 designer will soon be hunting for a parking spot at the supermarket. Probably.
