omg, look at the guy standing next to it, doesnt even flinch, hasnt got his ears blocked.... balls of steel. other than that its pretty intesne, should put on ine an excel, and convert it to RWD.... space shouldnt be a problem...

how much does it actually cost to build one of those motors anyway? they say the cars are worth millions, but thats with alot of R&D and carbon fibre pressure cookers lol, but with the basic specs and materials, how much would it cost to build one?

what sort of hp/kw would this thing have

edit: Here's the answer..

Even with the restrictions the V10s in the 2005 season were reputed to develop 960hp (715kW) . The new 2.4L V8 engines (2006) are reported to develop between 720hp and 750hp (535 to 560 kW)

and with 605 kg in race trim.. that's pretty crazy..

BTW for a good read on it all..

E.G here's a fact from it.. With minimal downforce wing settings, BAR Honda managed to run their FIA race-spec F1 car at 421 km/h on 6 Nov, 2005 during a shakedown leading to their 'Bonneville 400' attempt.
