The Devel Sixteen

So apparently this thing gets 5000 HP out of a quad turbocharged V16 and can reach a top speed of over 300MPH. The problem is that it is rear wheel drive, and since it has 5000HP, how will it put the power to the ground? Not to mention it is going to have a hard time getting stopped because the brake rotors look like they are off of a family car. What do you think?

Re: The Devel Sixteen

The premise of this thing sounds like bogus to me, look at the Weiron and how much difficulties they had cooling that thing, now exaggerate those problems by a factor 5... not going to happen any time soon.

That thing is a pretty big joke. However slotting something like a Napier Nomad styled engine into something with a gearbox might get you close to a workable 5000hp http://www.autospeed.com/cms/A_112994/a ... larArticle . Supercharged piston engine utilising thrust from the turbine.... YES PLEASE!
