Formula One Engines?

A guy here in Sydney has a BMW F1 Turbo engine in his 2002 Sports Sedan....crazy shite.

It's putting out somewhere in the region of 700hp for "reliability" purposes....but it's an insane little motor to have a look at. 1.5 litres with a monstrous turbo hanging off it...

the highest power teams were achieving throughout 04/05 were 940bhp to 980bhp. The teams that have already started testing their v8s are claiming well above the 750bhp estimates and 2 are claiming to have made in excess of 880bhp

Honda, Benz(Ilmor-they work with Honda in the states before), Toyota and Cosworth all have experience with racing V8 engines in IRL and CART. Only Ferrari and Renault don't have current V8 experience.

Should be interesting to see who will have the best engine.
Go Honda!!!

Ferarri has V8 experience. Their 355, 360 and 430s are all V8s! Hehe. But yeah, I don't think they have racing V8 engine experience.

I don't think Ferrari will have too many dramas in the engine department, what they may lack in V8 racing engine experience they more than make up for in $$$$$$.

Plus, their engines are basically de-tuned race engines anyway, chuck some higher quality componentry in there and you're away.
