How Many Cylinders Does an F1 Racing Car Engine Have?

[OIvan]

F1 racing cars generally use engines with no more than 3L and 12 cylinders. FISA requires F1 cars to use naturally aspirated engines with a displacement of 3L, no more than 12 cylinders, and no superchargers. The chassis of an F1 car is made of carbon fiber, which is very light and strong. The chassis is very low, with a minimum ground clearance of only 50-70 millimeters. F1 cars have many unique features: a slender and long body, very low height, and prominent wide wheels that are fully exposed, known as 'open wheels.' F1 car engines are currently required to use 8 cylinders, with V6 engines equipped with turbochargers. V12 engines with turbochargers were later reduced. The FIA plans to revert to the original V6 turbo engines for four-wheel drive, using biofuels, which can also achieve 800 horsepower. An engine can last for 5 races instead of the current 2, but the current regulations still specify the use of V8 engines, meaning 8 cylinders.
