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…

Now everyone can see that VW is playing safe with their W16 Veyron engine …
They are just milking the cow and adding small amounts of power with “new, faster versions” because idiots with wallets will buy always THE BEST.
Veyron could safely do 2000hp for daily use but VW would shoot themselves in leg by doing this. No more milking, more money in R&D for new engines…
No it couldn’t. The engine makes >3000bhp before heat loss. Even with 10 radiators and an exposed top, the cooling still limits it to <1500bhp. This car won’t be able to run for more than 10 minutes without overheating, as the engine will be trapped inside a metal body. Even if it has 500kg of cooling systems, it wouldn’t be enough to run 5000bhp reliably.
Since the dyno couldnt hold over 4515hp, it really has not been proven, that the engine makes more than 5000hp, it colf be 4800hp in that matter
Cvt transmission perhaps?
This looks like it’s straight out of Robotech and I love it.
I thought the Veyron had a quad turbo V16?
ETA: Derp. It had a W16
this car looks CHEAP
This is certified BS. Cool they made an experimental engine. That happens all the time. The car will never be produced.
Cool, but pointless.
Hennessey better make a 6000hp Venom now! #HennesseyFanboy
4500hp is amazing but no one is thinking about if it will be able to put the power to the ground. and they say its a every day hypercar but i cant see someone being able to drive that 4500hp car in a 50km/h zone
