10 Of The Craziest Boosted Racecars Ever

atmospheric engine powered race cars amazing and usually arrive with stratospheric high the turbo counterparts on the other hand are a lot less predictable and crazy as the turbos are normally bigger than in any other production car this increase is lower and turbo lag and moves usable rpm up in the rev range with a massive boost kick whenever the toolbox pulls up in this video let me introduce you some of the most extreme boosted race cars in the business [Music] porsche 917-30 based on the porsche 908 the 917 was created only with one goal to win 24 hours of le mans with a 4.5 liter flat 12. from this point it would raise various events which was rounded out with the kenm series a 750 horsepower 16 cylinder was first considered but eventually they went with the twin turbocharged 5.4 liter which was capable of 1600 horsepower 2.7 bar of boost during qualifications it adds up to almost 2 000 horsepower [Music] bim v16 the bimx v16 was designed very shortly after the world war ii for their very own formula one car the rolls-royce two-stage centrifugal supercharger was forcing up to 5.7 bar of air inside tiny almost squared cylinder while it produced only 100 horsepower at 5000 rpm at double of that speed the engine was making over 585 horsepower with even better parts installed and race fuel in the tank the v16 was said to be capable of 1000 horsepower and 14 000 rpm pretty crazy for ct cars energy displacement oh ford rs-200 evolution father was willing to compete in the group b but first plan suggested the rear wheel drive 1.7 leads to a turbo concept soon after they turned it down creating a new project with gear design body four-wheel drive and 1.8 liter cost work engine they went so far that later on the engine was enlarged to 2.1 liters even bigger turbo with potential from 588 horsepower at 1.6 bar up to 815 horsepower with over 2 bars supposedly the engine would work for 10 hours at most at the racing pace man ah bmw benetton b186 the year of 1986 was full of two craziest former one cars which had never been seen before or even later after it was the time when bmw was an engine supplier for a couple of teams including benetton the m12 unit was the most powerful in the series with up to 1400 horsepower in the qualification stream with the b186 being the best chassis with this power plant boost pressures up to 5.5 bar were recorded [Music] hmm [Music] [Applause] [Music] 956 theoretically saying the polisher 956 is the fastest sky in the world if notebook ring times were the only one taken under consideration with a time of 6 minutes 11 seconds and 13 hundreds stefan biloff set a record in 1993 which has never been broken ever since possibly a contemporary formula one would be faster but the last ones from 1974 were at least 45 seconds slower [Music] win win win ferrari f40 lm the ferrari f40 is rare and got it from the factory so it is no surprise that it is a one purpose car but the race version called f40 lm was even rarer lighter more brutal and actually a lot more powerful officially it wasn't even planned otherwise it happened on top of all that ferrari squeezed up to 300 more horsepower from the engine some sources mentioned that output up to 900 horsepower was recorded hmm [Music] mclaren mp4 slash 4 as senna's 1988 race car the mp4 slash 4 is said to have the most dominant single season car winning rate of 93.8 ever the car won 15 out of 16 races eight of which were cena's the engine the honda ra 168e had an output reduced from 960 horsepower caused by a lower boost pressure from 4 to 2.5 by in order to meet the new 150 liters of fuel for race distance regulation uh [Music] [Music] reynold 5 turbo you know those little women which make the greatest noise this guy is like that it is tiny but you don't want to mess around with it the 5 turbo is different to other versions mainly in his layout the engine was placed in front of the rear axle powering rear wheels imagine that this small light thing hit from 160 up to 360 horsepower [Music] [Music] now nissan scale and gta group a the group a was held by fiat to raise production derived vehicles in touring and really events since the production number of 500 had to be made the skyline gta nismo was introduced however it was still a soft card ring compared to race pack group a model which featured a 550 horse per engine and less than 1300 kilograms of weight it was extremely dominant in australian and domestic championships it was called a godzilla for a reason [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] audi spot quattro s1 with the whole engine in front of the front axle like a typical audi and long overhangs it was a strangely looking and behaving kind group b they started with at least 350 horsepower but climbed over 500 horse per mark pretty soon as such a power was issued with a huge turbo lag down below an anti-lag system was used people allowed it as much as the extraordinarily sounding 5-cylinder stick blonde quest and walter roll made sure that this is one of the all-time best and beloved race car in the world
