So you think your modified 2'stroker is a hot product?

Compare your kitted 2stroker to one of the world's most sophisticated Formula One engines. Compare it to the BMW Formula 1 V-10 for example.

-The BMW 3-liter V-10 makes 900+ hp at 19,200 revs. That's 300hp per liter.

By comparison, Yamaha's one-liter, 4stroke RX-1 quad makes 140hp at 10,200 revs-turbocharged it runs 220hp at 10,600 revs.

-BMW designers created 1,950 CAD drawings of this engine. Printed out and laid end to end, they would cover a distance of nearly a mile.

-The engine block and cylinder head are made of cast aluminum and are manufactured at the BMW Formula One foundry in Landshut using a special thin-wall casting method.

-BMW Munich handles, among other things the manufacture of the crankshaft (steel), camshaft (case-hardened steel) and camshaft covers, as well as processing of the cylinder head and crankcase. The oil system and engine electronics also stem from BMW Munich.

-Output of the BMW P83 is over 900bhp.

- Maximum engine speed is 19,200 rpm.

-In a race, engine speed is limited to 19,000 rpm.

-Idle speed is 4,000 rpm.

-The engine weighs less than 200 pounds.

-Before being retired, the engine will have received 1,388 upgrade modifications.

- It's made up of about 5,000 individual components-1,000 of them different.

-At the Monaco Grand Prix, the transmission and engine survive an average of 3,100 gear changes.

-The design concept was created in November and December 2001.

- It was race ready beginning in October 2002 and continuing to mid-February 2003.

-Its replacement was track-tested in September 2003. A snowmobile engine design is expected to last years-not months-before being phased out.
