ferrari horse power?

[rumpelstulskin]

does anybody know what bhp the ferrari 053 engine runs at?
and how it compares to williams?

[Beostar]

don't think anyone really knows..
But i'm guessing around 900-950 BHP ?
just a guess

I just read in an article on F1-Live.com that Paolo Martinelli has stateted

Finally and as usual, we will not disclose a horsepower figure, but, at the risk of repeating myself, rest assured that once again this year all the Ferrari engine specialists have worked with diligence and determination in order to produce 'enough' power, delivered in a useable and reliable fashion in order to reach our objectives in the 2004 F1 championship.

Hope that helps.

This new engine I think that is not as powerfil as Ferrari has been expecteing

This is just a feel... The words of Mr. Martinelli does not inspire me any confidence... It just seems to me thar he´s not cofident no even in a position to say that the engine is lighter, or lower, or that it saves more fuel etc.

This is just a guess

Cheers

yeah thanks guys. but being a ferrari fan all this is kinda disaapointing speculation
anyway i guess last year williams had 920 bhp+ while mclarena dn ferrari lagged at 900s. but it did not translate totally into speed on track right?

'enough' power, delivered in a useable and reliable fashion in order to reach our objectives in the F1 championship.

Exactly the same comment as last year!! As it turned out Ferrari had one of the BEST if not the BEST engines on the grid in 2003.

It's a difficult topic, because while we all hear of these dramatic (but always vague) comments from the teams, it's very unlikely anyone is near 950bhp yet. I would actually be surprised if Williams and Ferrari had cracked 900bhp in 2003. Perhaps they have, but not by much.

I think that F1 fans would love to hear that these screaming engines are producing nigh-on 1000bhp. But it isn't quite possible or feasible yet. So the rumours go on.....

I suggest put the turbo back on

Would be killer machines then

I was browsing to the F1 Racing from this month (februari btw )
And there is an interview with Mario Theissen about all sort of stuff.
And on the last page is a comparison between all BMW engines starting with the E41 (2000) till the new P84

Cause some idiot at MSI decided not to make motherboards with SCSI attachments and i'm a cheapscate i don't have my scanner hooked up i'll try to type a bit of the data on here

2000
Type E41 , 72 degrees V10
800 BHP , 17000 RPM

2001
Type P80 , 90 degrees V10
860 BHP , 17800 RPM

2002
Type P82 , 90 degrees V10
900 BHP , 18800 RPM

2003
Type P83 , 90 degrees V10
920 BHP , 19100 RPM

2004
Type P84 , 90 degrees V10
875 BHP , 18600 RPM

Don't know if this will be accurate but its a start

[Guest]

I doubt its accurate...P83 was already revving @19200rpms during the race @Indy.
Plus on the Williams-BMW website they say P84 produces around 900bhp @19000rpm.
I don't trust F1racing...

[rumpelstulskin]

and such a large fall in horse power would seem rather improbable too. the 2003 data might be right though, considering that indy is the fastest track on the circuit and they don't necessarily collect the data in those conditions

[Irvingthien]

I suggest put the turbo back on

the FIA has always look for a way to slow f1 cars down. I certainly agree with their policy. If F1 gets more faster sooner than later, watching it in tv will be watching the real thing.

[Beostar]

Didn't understand you reply there..
Prolly my lack of english..

But I was just kidding btw. Would be nice to see one of todays F1 fly around the track with a turb...

[Grego]

i read that, last year,the 052 engine ran at 930 hp at 19000 rpm
so this year i think the power of the 053 will be higher

[honda fan]

the new regulations for 2004 require same engine to be used over the weekend, so power may go down to achieve durability
