Devel Sixteen Dyno Run Shuts Every Sceptic Up By Proving It's Really Got Over 4500hp
When we first learned about a new superhypercar called the Devel Sixteen two years ago, we, and much of the world's media called BS on the car's 5000hp figure. Now, it's Devel that's got the last laugh...
Here are the specs of the engine that prove that this result really does check out:
Devel Sixteen, 12.3 Liter V16 engine, 81mm Quad Turbo, 32 Titanium Valves, Sixteen Cylinder One Billet Block, Devel Sixteen Cylinder Heads, One Billet Cam Shaft, One Crank Shaft, rated over 5000 Horsepower.
- 4515 Horsepower @6900 rpm, 36 psi c16 (dyno could not hold any more power over 4515 hp)
- 3519 Torque @6600 rpm, 36 psi
- 3002 Horsepower @6900 rpm, 20 psi (on pump gas – daily use)
2407 Torque @6400 rpm, 20 psi
The Most Powerful Engine Ever Built for a Production Car.
- The Most Powerful Engine Ever Built on Pump Gas.
- The First & Only V16 Quad Turbo Engine for a Production Car.
While these figures check out on the dyno, it’ll be interesting to see how that power is transferred to the huge rear wheels, and indeed, how reliable this engine will really be. Also, will the Devel Sixteen be able to hit its claimed 348mph top speed? Watch this space…

This is bullcrap. The engine makes that at 6400rpm to 6900rpm ,everything under is 1100-2000hp. At 6200rpm it goes over 3000. That is just top end stuff, means nothing. Also Torque isn’t a valid unit of measurement of torque.
Top end stuff means nothing? Interesting opinion.
I think what people was laughing about is the fact that having a street legal car that can handle over 5000 HP in a reliable way is very very hard to pull off. There has been cars making that amount of power on the race tracks for a long time now, but taking it to the streets and making it reliable, well that’s a very different story.
When will Roadkill get one on their hands?
What’s it’s mpg?
Something around 1 micro-mile per gallon i guess
Doesn’t the veyrons engine make like 4000hp but it loses most of it due to heat
No that’s the chemical power it uses. Not the output.
Efficiency is usually around 25% on modern engines. 4000x0,25=1000hp ;)
all ICE engines lose 2/3 of their energy in heat
‘’3519 Torque @6600 rpm, 36 psi’’ is torque a unit of measure?
Engine looks like it’s just two LSsomethings bolted together.
One cam shaft?
Tries to hit Topspeed->runs out of Gas
Tires explode
to be continued…
