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…

Getting the power to the ground is gonna be the problem…

Yeah it’s cool having thousands of hp…really, great engineering achievement but WHEN ON EARTH DO YOU NEED 4000+hp?!

I can imagine, this would be the face of your passengers every time you went near the throttle.

Can someone give me a refresher on what qualifies as a production car? I can’t see that many of these actually being produced.

The engine is an absolute marvel of engineering, but this means nothing in the long term. They still need to come up with a transmission and driveline capable of handling that power, as well as road-legal tyres that can get it to the ground without disintegrating.

In all honesty the engine was probably the easiest part of the equation.

There are funny cars making 10,000hp. They’ll be fine.

What’s the fuel consumption? Will I be able to do a school run on 1 tank of fuel?
