From one of Formula 1's greatest minds, Adrian Newey, comes an all new track car with a 4.5L naturally aspirated V10 engine with a screaming high 15,000 RPM redline. Newey says the track-only hypercar will be capable of lap times as fast as a Formula 1 car, thanks to 1,200 horsepower and extraordinary levels of downforce. The downforce is no surprise, considering Adrian Newey is known for his aerodynamic marvels. In this case? Perhaps the largest diffuser the world has ever seen! The 1,200 horsepower is thanks to a combination of combustion (1,000 horsepower) and electric (200 horsepower). This video dives into the engineering details, including the engine, the hybrid system, the weight, and the aerodynamics. Engineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program.
