Power/Torque on a F1 car?
What is the maximum power output on a F1 car?
I know that nowadays, most of them have about 800bhp. I heard that in the time the F1 cars had turbo's, the cars had more than 1000bhp, is this true? Also, what's the torque on a F1 car?

power is rumoured that has reached +900 BHP but the torque figures are low . maybe 400-500 Nm ..
Turbo .. it would depend on boost ... and restrictors .. but in the Turbo era the power reached those fugures in qulifying trim ...

i think i heard the commentator during the Indy F1 say that the Williams BMW has something around 920-960 hp. I cant remember exactly what he said, but it was something in that range.

given Power = Torque*angular velocity
Say an F1 engine is giving 950bhp at 19,000 rpm then 19,000*2*pi / 60 * T = 950*745 rearranging : T~356Nm of torque Depending on what publications you read, the 1.5 Turbo engines of the Mid-80s had between 1200-1400bhp in qualifying trim. I hope my maths is right... Last edited by ReeK; 11-19-2003 at 04:00 PM.

i dont think its as simple as that to figure out the torque, the most accurate way would just be to stick the bloody engine on a dyno. all thats just guesswork

The 3.5 litre Renault V10 engine, (as used in the Espace F1, see elsewhere on this site) produced 800 BHP and 705 NM. (8 years ago). The much more developed 3 litre engines appear to have 900 BHP and based on the above could have about the same amount of torque. Corresponding revs is a guess but could be in the order of 18000 and 13-14000 respectively.
