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…

Looks like a very basic engine, big power is easy, reliable, usable & tractable power is hard. It looks like two dragster engines slapped together. This thing may go quick in a straight line but it will either explode before it gets to a corner, crash trying to slow down for the corner, loose it through the corner because of the horrible power delivery or crash on the way out of the corner due to not being able to put the power down. I’m not a Veyron fan but at least it is drivable.
Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong but doesnt the veyron have a 16 cylinder quad turbocharged engine?
They must’ve forgetten about it…. Or something… O.o
No , the bug has a W16 Quad turbo engine . This guy has V16 Quad turbo engine
This is like the mother of the Ls engine
Like Enzo Ferrari said: ‘It isn’t hard to built a car with a lot of hp. The challenge is to let it down on the road.’
It’s so awesome that my turbo class got to tour their facility, and that it’s only an hour away from us. :)
Sorry, due to a 25% efficiency, not heat
How can anything handle that much horsepower?
that is freaking amazing though :)
What’s the point though ? Is it just for the drag strip ? There’s just no way one can drive this safely on the road ! You’d need instant reflexes…
‘Murcia f…… you know what? never mind
IT’S A PUSHROD YEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHH
LS for the win.
