The most powerful naturally-aspirated #F1 engine ever was... Japanese, likely 🇯🇵

Peak power reached in 2005 (end of 3000cc, 'V10' era)!

Renault ~900hp
Cosworth 915hp
Mercedes ~930hp
Ferrari 920-940hp
Honda >965hp (Last power step in Suzuka)
Toyota >1000hp, detuned to ~960hp for reliability

The straight-line acceleration of these cars was insane, much higher than the current ones' (and did so 20 years ago)!

Compared to current cars:
- Similar peak power;
- Higher end-of-straight power (No ERS, always full power);
- 200kg lighter (600kg, including driver!);
- 20cm narrower track, reducing drag.

Crazy!
