Have you ever thought why the Formula-1 (F1) engine is not used in ordinary road-legal vehicles? Because the car would be very expensive, unreliable, and unqualified for a road-legal car. Meanwhile, ordinary road vehicles are intended to transport people\/goods to their destination. It means that, the mass-produced road vehicles you find on city roads, are not only built with effectiveness and efficiency in mind, but also the affordability of the vehicle itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Let’s assume you’re “capable” to fit an original F1 engine into any ordinary road vehicle (e.g sedan or SUV), supported by the largest car manufacturer in the world. With the details in the following, it is extremely challenging to sell your F1-engined road cars to “ordinary” people. The car would be very expensive, unreliable, and unqualified for a road-legal car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The F1 engine is built to obtain the highest power efficiency. That said, all of the engine parts, are built with such a high level of precision and high-quality materials. For example, the cylinder-piston gap clearance of the F1 engine is much tighter than the average cylinder-piston gap clearance in road cars. In addition, the 1.6-Litre V6 F1 engine (2022) must be able to operate normally at very high rotational speeds up to more than 15,000 RPM and withstand the 200 g-forces. And because of that, the price of an F1 engine is approximately $10 million \u200b[1]\u200b<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
