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...

Devel Sixteen Dyno Run Shuts Every Sceptic Up By Proving It's Really Got Over 4500hp

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.
