This monster powered the Brabham BT52 Formula One Racing Car. Some experts have estimated it to produce a maximum of 1400 hp although in race trim they kept it around 800 hp. It is a 1.5L four-cylinder unit with 16 valves. Incredible no?

Absolutely stunning. It’s unbelievable the power f1 cars used to have, this truly is an engineering masterpiece. A 1.5 producing 1400bhp... then you look at the size of that turbo and understand why.... it’s looks like a gas turbine! Haha:) love it! I want to hear it so bad

Yeah dude! It's absolutely nuts! I'm gonna look up some videos of this beast and watch today :D

I’m going to do the same now! :D

Paul Rosche, who is labeled by BMW as the father of the Championship engine, admitted that BMW did not even know how much power the engine could produce. it's a beast man

Good job !
