The F1 probably made around 670 HP due to the ram air effect at this speed, but it's still remarkable how fast it went (still the fastest NA car) or how ridiculous the acceleration from 270 to 385 was. Actually it does take a lot more power to go faster, it's proportional to the cube of the speed. But, a car as small and sleek as the F1 could have reached it with 1400 HP.

+eddie scythe Top speed is no longer the performance metric as track times and super sticky tires are what electronically limit supercars. Also the aero. The F1 is actually a surprisingly tiny car, with a very low drag coefficient and almost nothing in the way of drag inducing aerodynamic devices -- it is as sleek and smooth and slippery as you can get. It weights 350 kg less than any modern supercar with no driving aids, no front boot but still can store much more in the side compartments than other supercars, and no electronic speed limiter past 180 mph, all it has for downforce are the diffuser, ground effect and two fans to produce fan assisted downforce -- and the roar of that engine. That's why it could get so fast, but XP5 is still a road car, not a track car. But as you can see, overreving beyond what the rev limiter restrains the engine to can overheat the gearbox. Still the acceleration clearly shows it can pull one more gear.

I did a small calculation with the Cd and HP and found that 627 HP is exactly enough to reach 391 kmph. Now if the LM engine producing 680 HP was fitted to this car, it would have equalled the Veyron's top speed! Can you believe that?

It also helps when you have Paul Rosche of BMW designing it. Another one of his claims to fame was the BMW F1 4 cyl turbo in the 1980s (Brabham-BMW) that put out about 1400 bhp. The dyno only went up to about 1100 to 1200. Paul guessed it was around 1400 bhp.

Its true to an extent and if you were to debate it the Mclaren F1 would still be the fastest N/A car in the world BUT all of the cars that have come since, with the exception of the Koenigsegg that set the record a few years ago have all been over 7 liters but required forced induction despite that.

@@MrInfernalStorm It woulnt. Several options exist with 8-9 gear boxes which allow for quick acceleration around the track and have the two final gears all there for top speed. Example in F1 and the hybrids series, where the DRS boost kicks the car suddenly to the max of its engine's output, its neccecary to have these final two gears designed for maximum speed.

+justcarcrazy Actually they had identical gear ratios - from wiki "gear ratios are identical to the standard F1, i.e. 3.23:1, 2.19:1, 1.71:1, 1.39:1, 1.16:1, 0.93:1, with a final drive of 2.37:1" GTR version had shorter gearing. LM version has lower top speed due to high-downforce kit which produces lot of drag...All LM-s have that aero kit, but it would be interesting to see car with LM engine with no downforce kit, like car chassis nr:073 which is upgraded to "lm-spec" engine(680hp) but also LM aero kit is added...now imagine that car with no downforce kit...400km/h + possible?? :) cheers

@kzruns Yer right, forgot to mention that it also needed more horsepower. The air is thick at those kinda speeds, benefit for the F1 is its weight. Much more lighter than a Veyron, for example. So this raises my question; What does the Bugatti make so fast, it's sheer power or/and the total mass to cut through the air at that speed?

@SuperSedans11 жыл бұрын
The racing drivers say if it has a 750-780 bhp, and manual 7 speed gearbox it will be faster both in accelerations and top speed from Bugatti 1001 bhp as well. It doesn't need to have 2/4/8 turbos. I don't know about SS version cause this has nearly a twice amount of power that F1 stock have. F1 was built with every detail in mind, and has very complicated fans and downforce underneath.
@bmancodgta413 жыл бұрын
@ebradahusla The reason it needs so much more power is because it is not nearly as focused as the F1. It's much much heavier, has a lot more luxury, and could be daily driven in supreme comfort. They're both legendary vehicles and always will be, but I do agree the F1 was ahead of its time. It's epic
