Honda F1 engine generates
over 720 horsepower out of 2.4L V8 NA engine.
Honda F1 engine pumps up
more than 6 times horsepower/weight than Honda S2000.
Honda S2000 engine: 242hp, the 2.2L 4cyl engine weighs approx 200kg(440lbs)
Honda F1 engine: 720+hp, the 2.4L V8 engine weighs approx 95kg(209lbs)
do the math..
Honda F1 engine displaces 2.4L, however the engine inhales
3.2L of air
that translates to
500L of air/second at 19,000rpm
It takes
5.2 seconds for NSX to reach
100km/h
It takes
5.2 seconds for Honda F1 to reach
200km/h
(0-100km/h in 3.7 seconds, 100km/h to 200km/h in 1.5 seconds)
just to give you an idea...
Honda F1
100-200km/h: 1.5 seconds
Honda NSX
100-200km/h: 12.6 seconds
McLaren F1
100-200km/h: 6.2 seconds
Bugatti Veyron
100-200km/h: 4.9 seconds
The F1 machine can generate
2000kg(4400lbs) of downforce at 300km/h
The machine weighs approx 600kg(1320lbs with driver)...therefore it can go upside down no problem
Letting go a gas pedal in F1 machine = Slamming on brake in NSX
When you leg go a gas padal, the Honda F1 machine creates approx 1.0 deceleration G (same as NSX's full braking capability), if you slam on F1 machine's brake, you will generate 4.5 deceleration G.
The cornering G of Honda F1 is
4.5times greater than NSX's approx 1.0G.
The powersteering for F1 machine is
not so that you can steer...the F1 machine is really light, you don't need it
The purpose of F1 powersteering is to
fight the G-force during the corner. Therefore the purpose is totally different than passenger vehicles like NSX and S2000.
