It's an out of the box engine, not a pimped one a la 1000 hp+ Toyota Supra.

Besides it's not exactly ultra tuned, that would have implied over 900 HP or a 3.0 litre V10 producing 1100 hp+ at 22000 rpm+.
200 HP per litre is miserable by F1 standards even for a V8.

Tough the ultra rare part could be an issue.
BTW how many Ferrari 599 GTB are there sold ?!

Sort of a street legal F1 engine.

Tough displacement is 3.5 1989 to 1994 spec V8, not 2006+ 2.4 spec V8.

It's very possible they're using banned materials and technologies to 700 hp at just ~10200 RPMs and 100 Kg.

Re: International Engine of the Year Awards 2007

Do you have an idea about its reliability ? Is it a "racing" reliabilty ??

Re: International Engine of the Year Awards 2007

That's why it's just a mere 200 hp per litre.

Besides there are banned F1 or non-F1 exotic materials witch could simultaniously reduce weight and improve durability, reliability and lifespan. Maybe they're using such.

Even with "just" 200hp/L, i am curious to see if they succeded to make it reasonnably reliable, otherwise i don't see where is the big acheivement in putting an old f1 engine in a,street car.

Re: International Engine of the Year Awards 2007

That's true. Lifespan/durability/reliability will be critical.

[ Giving its extreme capabilities for a production car it can (probably) kill you, literally, before the engine fails. ]


However what bugs me, is how they got 700 HP at just 10200 rpms from a 3.5 spec.
Usually at 10k to 11k, the 3.5 spec V8s delivered 600 to 650 hp. The 700 to 750 hp barrier meant rpms of over 14k.

I suspect they used some V10 era technologies, now banned on the 2.4 V8 spec., and previously not available on the 3.5 spec.
