1 Answers
F1 cars have a displacement of 1.6 liters. Here are the relevant details: 1. Displacement: F1 racing cars typically have a displacement of 1.6 liters. The engines in F1 cars differ from those in civilian vehicles. Despite having only 1.6 liters of displacement, these engines can produce over a thousand horsepower and operate at extremely high RPMs. 2. Maximum RPM: An F1 car's engine contains approximately 900 moving parts, with a maximum RPM exceeding 19,000 per minute, whereas ordinary car engines usually don't surpass 8,000 RPM. When an F1 engine operates at peak speed, the spark plugs fire 150 times per second, completing 300 combustion cycles, with acceleration reaching up to 8500G.
