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…

I can’t imagine it being able to hit it’s claimed top speed with aero like that. Also, I thought that there’s stupposed to be a huge variance in numbers from dyno to dyno. I just can’t seem to imagine the likes of Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Ferrari, and Pagaini can’t build something on par with some random newcomer.

I had to
Still skeptical about this tbh…
I wonder if this would fit in the bed of an S-10 pickup?
“The First & Only V16 Quad Turbo Engine for a Kit Car.”
get ready for the will it fit my honda memes
Be interesting to see how they plan on getting all that power to the ground.
I’m surprised it didn’t just open a black hole with that amount of turbo.
If the car would looks as cool as the engine is, but I suppose everything there has a purpose so all I’ve got left to say is, functionality over looks
