Pretty impressive. The F1 LM has a bhp/l of 112.

444hp out of a 4l motor implies that BMW V8 made 111 bhp/l--better than all the McLaren variants except the LM, and it is very, very close to that.

And it has 10 lb/ft per liter more torque than the S70/2 motor. Wonder what the conrods were made of to withstand such brutal torque.

Equal or better to the F1 in terms of how much power the engine produced for its size.

Now if we had the weight of the cars, then we could figure out the power to weight ratios and see if it was comparable to the F1's as well.

Thanks for the info.
