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…

If the subaru has a roof rack, it’ll fit on it.

“3519 torque” uh huh… Sooo… How many Nm’s is that..? or lb/ft if you like?

Does it really matter on numbers this high? XD

He says later on in the video it’s lb/ft

Technically, money doesn’t majorly comes from oil. It mostly comes from other resources like investment, capital and tourism. Yes, they have oil. But it’s only a tiny fraction compared to what Saudi Arabia, United States or Venezuela has. I’m surprised that even with little oil, they’ve developed so much in so little time.

Still it’s a good joke though :P

Hopefully the extreme design will tone down, but hell, those are some crazy specs for a hypercar! Will it even be road legal?

Doubt it in the states at least maybe the uk as well

As long as it has a windshield, full exhaust, and brakes it’s legal in the US! 5,000 hp is irrelevant!

Longevity concerns aside, I’d be worried about the stuck throttle scenario with that kind of raging horsepower… No brakes could possibly overwhelm over 3,000lb/ft of torque in that size of a car.

The concept car had solid disc brakes from a family hatchback. I don’t have high hopes for the car. Tge whole thing looks like it is from someone who don’t know how to build cars.
Also, 4500hp and still use pushrods/SOHC or DOHC with 2 valves per cylinder. It could be for weight saving purposes but I don’t think so.

The biggest challenge I see them having now is building a gearbox that wont turn to spaghetti the second you try to pull away

They’ll need a gearbox from a train if trains have gearboxes.

Maybe its direct drive like the konisegg agrea r sorry if i butchered the name

Who needs a gearbox anyway? Koenigsegg Regera style! Besides, it probably got more torque than a most cars just by idling

And a tire that won’t disintegrate once it comes close to its top speed.

Gaining power is easy. Putting that power to good use is the real challenge….I feel like Uncle Ben now.

The car is made of engine and fuel tank.
