The car developed by Adrian Newey is powered by a V8 engine called "Renault RS27 - 2013" with a displacement of 2.4 liters, which develops an output of around 550 kW (≈750 hp). The braking system comes from Brembo , the wheels are provided by OZ Racing and the tires come from the standard supplier Pirelli .

Like all Formula 1 vehicles of the 2013 season, the RB9 is equipped with the Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) and the Drag Reduction System (DRS).

On the vehicle, in addition to sponsor stickers from Infiniti, large stickers from Red Bull are placed on the side pods, the Red Bull logo on the hood and nose, and the Red Bull lettering on the front and rear wings. Other sponsors on the vehicle are Rauch , Renault and Total .
