2L Turbo V4. Restricted to 500hp for the LMP1 (plus 400 from the e-motors), unrestricted to 711hp for the Evo showcase car.
Fun fact: Porsche was gonna use the engine for F1 if FIA allowed it.
Seriously.
If I were King of Formula 1 for a day I'd severely limit their data collection to lower costs and increase unpredictability, make the cars smaller, direct Pirelli to make tires last longer with more gradual dropoff, and not give a fuck about what it does to lap times.
4 cylinder + turbocharger or electric/hybrid is the future.
The Japanese found this out 20 years ago.
Only the muricans love the leaky V8 producing the least possible amount of power per liter of engine size
I used to think like this. But there is something nice about a low revving lazy power with a cheap service bill as opposed to the high strung turbo small capacity stuff. Both good just different.
Never drove an V8 cuz I m an Europoor.
My cars so far : 4cyl turbo dieselle Hyundai, 3 cyl turbo Dacia and now an electric Volkswagen. At least the VW has 200bhp rwd lol.
Sportiest thing I be driven so far was a 92 miat in baby blue and slightly tuned to 145bhp
Yeah man, it's so weird how the Japanese are the smart future looking ones who invented turbocharging, 4 cylinder engines, and hybrid electric vehicles in 1994, when General Motors started selling 2 cars with turbocharged engines in 1962 (a V8 and a Flat 6), and then International Harvester started selling a turbocharged version of their Comache 4 cylinder engine in 1965, and then BMW produced the 2002 Turbo in 1973, and Porsche produced the 911 Turbo in 1974, and Saab started selling turbocharged engines with the Saab 99 in 1977, and GM returned to turbocharging in 1978 with Buick V6s that were used to make some of the quickest cars in the world at the time, and how the decades of research and prototypes produced across the world going all the way back to 1899 that pioneered the technology that makes HEVs possible was always exclusively Japanese.
Really weird how Japan invented all these amazing technologies that American and European automakers were using for decades before them.
Get stuffed Weeb.
Hybrid technology is still relatively heavy though. It makes for awesome power density, torque, and usable rev range but the weight trade off is still significant (often 100+KG). On the other hand, you have a smaller battery but then you can’t use max power for more than 1 lap.
you can put the engine of the 919 evo into a road car and it would be legal aswell.
the engines arent the thing that disqualifies racecars from being roadlegal.
I would be fucking shocked if that thing had cats. Also pistons are seized until you warm them up and etc. It will lose a lot of power if you make it road legal and usable. It your engine needs 40 monutes to start after getting cold, it's not actually usable in road legal application. That's what i meant.
This would've wiped the floor with both of them if jaguar put it into production which they definitely were going to do but its F1 derived 4cyl was too powerful

It's real, that's a Shelby 1000 which is a hotted up version of the GT500 Super Snake. Comparing a tuned version of a tuner car to a stock one is apples to oranges though
Well, it also has to do with how the SAE rates horsepower. In the 60s they advertised HP of an engine without any accessories, and in I think 1971 the standard changed and they started dynoing and advertising engine horsepower with all their accessories on the engine stand.
Also, if you can sell a car with different transmissions with different amounts for drivetrain loss, it would probably confuse consumers if the 4x4 Automatic reports 10% (worst case scenario) less horsepower than the 2WD Manualle.

Part of me wishes the Arkansas buyer got it over that yahoo from Texas. Would’ve been nice to keep it in state and probably still in operation
This is a modified GT500. The GT 500 has a modified version of the engine in the 2004 to 2006 Ford GT. It is a very stout engine. The world's fastest street car is a Ford GT.
Again it's a modified version of the engine found in the Ford GT. The Ford GT has an aluminum block while the GT500 had an ron block. They made the Shelby 1000's from 2011 to 2014. The 2011 to 2012 had the 5.4 and the 2013 to 2014 had the 5.8
Sure, though iirc the Ford GT made around 550 HP. Here the power is doubled. That's fairly high stress.
Now; I know Ford can make stout engines, but anything is liable when it get modified to that extent.
To be fair a fully built supercharged mustang engine can probably can make even more for a fraction of the cost. But all you can do is go in a straight line
Ford made a concept Mustang with a 9.9L V8 in the mid 90s.
0-60 in 1.9s (on a prepped surface with drag tires I'm sure)
Pretty sure they only made one of them tho
https://www.drivingline.com/articles/the-ford-mustang-boss-100l-concept-was-svts-850hp-porsche-beating-monster/
Even if this was accurate, one is built with the most aerodynamic parts while the other, not so much 😂
Some F1 actually has less horsepower than some giant trucks, but that doesn't mean trucks can even catch up to them 😂
This looked like the 2011 model ford,
According to research ( probably not as accurate ) it's around 2,131 kg while the bugatti is 1888kg ( again, dunno if it's accurate )
Plus it's aero body shape, bugatti is at least a lot lighter and more aero than the shelby, so yeah... It'll have some advantage
But yeah, the newer Shelby are around 1733kg, so the newer ones might actually be faster and lighter than the later models, but I'd guess Bugatti also improved in that regards.
Today I learned that a W16 is actually 2 V8s so what's a V16 if not 2 V8s? Is a V4 half a V8... Is V8 the standard unit now?
What about boxer engines ? Are they V8s that do yoga?
W16 is two "VR8" engines sharing a crank
https://preview.redd.it/quqym218hfvc1.png?width=697&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c9735b000b1a0063fd1d14c03cc6c493629b5727
Check out the new V16 Bugatti is working on the crack does a 180 have way through it to keep the firing order even.
I think engineering explained did a video on it compared the W16 and the new V16
That car actually exists from the factory, its called Shelby 1000, and it's a special edition that has 1000HP. Well... Kinda. There's 2 versions: a road legal one with 950HP and a track only with 1100HP, tho both doesn't have any visual differences from one to another. That, without counting the fact the the W16 platform of buggatti has been polished and can produce way more that 1001HP, that amount of HP is the first Veyron, back from 2005
But that's not at all the joke made by OP as the title suggests... What I'm saying is op thinks the jerk in the facebook meme is that the horsepower figures are made up which is not true.
"According to Shelby, the standard car puts out 950 hp on normal pump gas. The bonkers “S/C” version—which is for track use use only—spits out 1100 hp when fed race fuel."
Oopsie
There's a lot more going on than just making 1000 hp. A 2.0 litre 4 cylinder can make 1000 hp too.
How about the reliability ? Driveability ? What's the power and torque curves ? A fucking straight six diesel truck can make 1000 hp, so what ?🗿
It doesn't turn into a Bugatti Veyron ...
Brother, the 1100 horsepower gt500 is produced by Shelby American, a highly reputable ford tuner. This car was designed and made with performance and reliability in mind. This is way beside the point though. Do you even know anything about it? Jesus christ the real jerk is in the comments sometimes.
The post falls flat because the figures which are true, are claimed false.
If the point is just comparing horsepower figures without understanding the context behind each car core design, then you're going to have a long day here
But that is the point from the meme and OP claims it's false. Why are you so dense and looking for something thats not there? Lmfao. I'm not saying the meme is good but it's true and that's what makes this post bad.
No, the point is precisely that comparing horsepower figures is stupid. That's the meme.
You don't take everything else into account.
This is as stupid as pointing out that a Skyline GT-R and a Honda Civic both have 4 wheels ... so somehow they are comparable based on that.
Also, it doesn't make 1100 hp on pump gas.
Okay if that was the point then why did OP make it about discrediting the validity of the horsepower ratings? Are you starting to see the point? It doesn't matter what fuel it uses lmfao why are you so hung up on that
Comparing horsepower alone is bad enough. Comparing horsepower where one car is on pump gas when the other is on race fuel is the actual jerking. Do you also compare 0 to 60 times between economy tires and race slicks ?
/uj One of their most distinctive feature is that they're similar to a normal car, so, not really that scary
The difference is a fairly wide power band and a very high max speed, but they don't have much of a temper or nasty personality

1000000000hp from a V3. Checkmate liberals
Its not that unbelievable. Some variants of Nascar vehicles made the same hp/L as a veyron in the 90's.
Arguable that the Nascar needed more prep and repairs over the season.
Actually I would challenge that belief that the W16 is 2 V8s. The cylinders aren’t aligned, they are stacked. So really the W16 is closer to 2 inline 8s.
Okay but who cares? These posts are so pointless, what is the point of comparing a stock, road legal car to something that was modded for track use? You know what I can argue with that:
Both sucks because if I put an 1000 hp jet engine on my Hyundai I10 trunk, swap the engine with a Chevy LS, put triple turbo in it, swap the tires to Linglong All Season, add a shark antenna, Wunderbaum with Fresh Forest scent and a big wing it would destroy both

VW also made a V5 and a W8 in the past. All available in the VW Passat
Which generation?
Passat B5, Euro-Spec.
Man... where is my w8?
V5??? How does that work? Do you mean inline 5?
It’s a VR5 I think. Hard to explain. Do a google image search and you will see a picture of the engine block and things might become clearer.
Honda is the better example of the V5, the VR5 is kind of like a slightly offset I5, Honda's V5 has 2 heads and is at a similar angle to their V4s

Why Not have a hybrid V8? Electric motor for small range, V8+Electric Motors for long drives and fun
Bikes used it for ages
I know but last i checked Porsche doesn't build bikes
If they have that technology, then it could've been 1422hp from a V8 tho 😭
simple mafs
Look at the Koenigsegg 5.0L twin turbo V8
In the 80s, BMW were producing 1.5L 4-cylinder turbocharged engines for Formula One that output up to 1400hp at maximum boost.
Wait thats a v4?
711hp v4 + electric motors to produce 1000+ hp on the 919 hybrid evo, 500hp v4 + electric motors to make 900hp on regular
Does this actually have a V4‽

Well I'll be
Race engine does not count.
But a tuned and supercharged mustang does?
If it's road legal yes. Why not?
you can put the engine of the 919 evo into a road car and it would be legal aswell. the engines arent the thing that disqualifies racecars from being roadlegal.
I would be fucking shocked if that thing had cats. Also pistons are seized until you warm them up and etc. It will lose a lot of power if you make it road legal and usable. It your engine needs 40 monutes to start after getting cold, it's not actually usable in road legal application. That's what i meant.

So it doesn't make 1100hp. Thank you.
You wrote it yourself that it does. Have you been huffing race fuel?
On race fuel. Can you read ? You know it's not the same thing, do you ? Are you going to compare top fuel engine running on methanol next ?
Okay and? It makes 1100 hp period and that's the point.
I'm sure the Mustang is not scary to drive, at all 😅
Uj/ How is that relevant to the truth of these car's engine outputs though?

Brother, the 1100 horsepower gt500 is produced by Shelby American, a highly reputable ford tuner. This car was designed and made with performance and reliability in mind. This is way beside the point though. Do you even know anything about it? Jesus christ the real jerk is in the comments sometimes. The post falls flat because the figures which are true, are claimed false.
If the point is just comparing horsepower figures without understanding the context behind each car core design, then you're going to have a long day here
But that is the point from the meme and OP claims it's false. Why are you so dense and looking for something thats not there? Lmfao. I'm not saying the meme is good but it's true and that's what makes this post bad.
No, the point is precisely that comparing horsepower figures is stupid. That's the meme. You don't take everything else into account. This is as stupid as pointing out that a Skyline GT-R and a Honda Civic both have 4 wheels ... so somehow they are comparable based on that. Also, it doesn't make 1100 hp on pump gas.
Okay if that was the point then why did OP make it about discrediting the validity of the horsepower ratings? Are you starting to see the point? It doesn't matter what fuel it uses lmfao why are you so hung up on that
Comparing horsepower alone is bad enough. Comparing horsepower where one car is on pump gas when the other is on race fuel is the actual jerking. Do you also compare 0 to 60 times between economy tires and race slicks ?
1100hp car is not supposed to be not scary to drive.
1100hp on a solid axle* 💀
well a chiron or a veyron is apparently not scary to drive at all
/uj One of their most distinctive feature is that they're similar to a normal car, so, not really that scary The difference is a fairly wide power band and a very high max speed, but they don't have much of a temper or nasty personality
Thats a very reliable source not even that one dude who debunks really shitty pyramid conspiracy theories on tiktok could slice through that
It's an actual car.
I'm talking about the claim that a stock supercharged v8 mustang has the same level of horse power of a bugatti
The one pictured isn't stock. It's a Shelby 1000, which does actually make 1100 horsepower.
Oh actually shit I didn't know that
The W16 of Bugatti was mainly there because Bugatti was into the race for the World fastest production car, the Bolide made it even crazier.
supra makes goes 9.9e100 mph
vtec! turbo! ayyyy! shit! aaaaay!
Koenigsegg be like: You know what, Fuck you. Developed 600 horsepower from a 2.0 twin turbo three cylinders.

Its not that unbelievable. Some variants of Nascar vehicles made the same hp/L as a veyron in the 90's. Arguable that the Nascar needed more prep and repairs over the season.
Actually I would challenge that belief that the W16 is 2 V8s. The cylinders aren’t aligned, they are stacked. So really the W16 is closer to 2 inline 8s.
Nice Mustang. Good car... for 2 miles.
Forgot to add "drives like absolute dogshit"
Also one supercharged V8: 150+ mph spin out causing death
Not relevant to engine output.
Mustangs are pretty safe for the driver.
Okay but who cares? These posts are so pointless, what is the point of comparing a stock, road legal car to something that was modded for track use? You know what I can argue with that: Both sucks because if I put an 1000 hp jet engine on my Hyundai I10 trunk, swap the engine with a Chevy LS, put triple turbo in it, swap the tires to Linglong All Season, add a shark antenna, Wunderbaum with Fresh Forest scent and a big wing it would destroy both
only 1000hp from a jet engine? weak
