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…

If this car REALLY went on the road, what will beat it’s speed and when will it be beaten?
Probably another Koenigsegg or a new megacar by 2030. I don’t even think it’s megacar power, its ULTRACAR power
face @7000 rpm be like
You know what, good for them. I always gave them credit for having a car that actually drove back when they first debuted it, but now they have an engine that can back up their claims. Is it practical? Hell no. I feel like this car is more of a novelty car to show what is possible. Ugly as sin, but but fact that they have a motor that can hit at least 4,500hp, major props.
First one to call it superhypercar, and now it’s a thing :)
good job now you have 5000hp but your car still looks like cardboard and good luck making it turn let alone work at all
meh. it`s an LS
It looks like the engine was based on the GM LS…
yep it is
Waiting for them mpg figures, wonder if it’ll manage anything over 1.
4500bhp
This is something that I would fit on a speedboat…
