All F1 car will use a 1.6-liter V6 turbo
engine start F1 2014. Until recently become an engine supplier Renault for 4
teams: Red Bull Racing, Williams, Lotus and Caterham. Since the enactment of
'freezing' the machine at the end of the 2006 season, the French engine
manufacturer's concoction was the most successful with a collection of three
world championship drivers' and constructors through the team Red Bull Racing
and Sebastian Vettel 2010-2012.
During that period the engine rotation
has been restricted from that originally 19,000 to 18,000 rpm in 2009, and only
8 units of machines that are allowed to use each driver per season. Machines
are now also able to run up to 2,500 miles without decreasing power, where in
the past the machine can only reach more than 350 km. And if it is not imposed
restrictions, this machine can produce additional power 75 hp and about 1.5
seconds faster in one round at Monza.
Coded RS27 engine has a piston that only
weighs 250 grams, but when the engine reaches 18,000 rpm rotation acceleration
engines provide power weighing 2 tons on the piston and connecting rod, which
means more than 8,000 times the force of gravity. Exhaust can also produce heat
to a temperature of 1,000 ° C, therefore in the volcanic lava boiling point
(700 ° C and 1200 ° C).
Although the current F1 engine has
outstanding durability, Renault said that their V8 engine capable of spewing
power of 750 hp more consistently. For comparison, the Renault F1 engine can
accelerate from 0-100 km / h in 2.5 seconds and 0-200 km / h in 5.1 seconds, while
Ferrari claimed its latest hypercar LaFerrari accelerates from 0-100 km / h
less than 2 seconds and 0-200 km / h in under 7 seconds.
Starting in 2014, F1 will switch to a
1.6-liter V6 engine with a turbo, which is capable of producing 600 hp, 15,000 rpm
and additional power from two electric motors (160 hp) that can be used for 30
seconds for one lap. Which begs the question is there ever supercar / hypercar
that have performance approaching the performance of an F1 car? It seems no.
So, how much longer whether there will
be hypercar that 'faster than F1 cars'?
