Between 1995 and 2000, cars using this 3.0 L engine formula, imposed by the FIA, produced a constant power range (depending on engine type and tuning), varying between 600 hp and 815 hp. Most Formula One cars during the 1997 season comfortably produced a consistent power output of between 665–760 hp (495.9–566.7 kW), depending on whether a ...
The cars were raced in 1954 and 1955 while BRM worked on a car for the new Formula One specification of 2.5 litres un-supercharged. By this time the V16-powered cars were running quite reliably, but the demise of the Formula around which they had been based prevented the Mark II cars from making a greater impact.

Ferrari Type 056 was introduced by Ferrari, who used it in Formula 1 between 2006 and 2013. The V8 engine was developed under engine chief Paolo Martinelli and thus marked the return of Ferrari's usage of a V8 engine after a forty-year absence. Its predecessor is the Tipo 055 used in the 2005 season, successor type 059/3 from 2014.
Maserati made two naturally-aspirated, straight-6, racing engines, designed for Formula One; between 1952 and 1960.

Their second and last engine was the 250 F1; in accordance with the engine regulations imposed by the FIA for 1954.
DIN 66036 defines one metric horsepower (Pferdestärke, or PS) as the power to raise a mass of 75 kilograms against the Earth's gravitational force over a distance of one metre in one second: [17] 75 kg × 9.80665 m/s 2 × 1 m / 1 s = 75 kgf⋅m/s = 1 PS. This is equivalent to 735.49875 W, or 98.6% of an imperial horsepower.
At first the RAC rating was usually representative of the car's actual (brake) horsepower, but as engine design and technology progressed in the 1920s and 1930s these two figures began to diverge, with engines making much more power than their RAC ratings suggested: by 1924 the 747 cc (45.6 cu in) engine of the Austin Seven (named for its 7 hp ...
The Mercedes-Benz W196 (sometimes written as the Mercedes-Benz W 196 R [1]) was a Formula One racing car produced by Mercedes-Benz for the 1954 and 1955 F1 seasons.
