Drew is correct, in qualifying trim the late 80's BMW engines delivered 1,300 HP!! It may seem like a demented number, but consider that those engines ran on toluene, not petrol..
A word of warning before you all want to run out and buy toluene injection.. It's a carcinogen and causes brain damage when inhaled..
I'll laugh my head off if they do this and then everybody stops bagging us Honda enthusiasts and drops their V8 for a turbo'd 4-banger because they realise how awesome it can be.
For me personally I'm not as fussed with the engineering rules of F1. I love the competition and especially enjoyed the recent success of Red Bull Racing's dynamic duo but as long as the cars are fast and the races entertaining then I don't mind
Porsche are saying it will happen in 2013 and if it does happen they are going to move in as an engine provider... so it looks like F1 bosses are actually considering the move to a smaller turbo engine...
