The Red Bull Racing RB3 is a Formula One racing car produced by Red Bull Racing for the 2007 season. It was the team's first Adrian Newey-designed car and used customer Renault RS27 engines, after the team's contract with Ferrari was transferred to the Toro Rosso team.
This was the first non-Enstone based Formula One car to utilize full works Renault engines since the Williams FW19 in 1997.
