Red Bull's chief designer Adrian Newey will work with Aston
Martin's design boss Marek Reichman on the car, dubbed Project
AM-RB-001, Red Bull said on Thursday.
"This is a very exciting project for everyone at Red Bull
Racing," team principal Christian Horner said in a statement.
"Through this innovation partnership the iconic Aston Martin
logo will return to grand prix racing for the first time since
1960, and Red Bull Advanced Technologies, led by Adrian, will be
using Formula One DNA to produce the ultimate of all road cars."
As part of the tie-up, Red Bull's RB12 cars will carry the Aston
Martin wings logo throughout the 2016 Formula One season
starting at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne this weekend.
