G-forces

Though the Air Volume Displacement capacity of F1 engine is 3 litres, however it has a intake capacity of 4 litres of air.

In the F1 engine the rotational speed is of almost the same level as its rivals, but it also intakes lots of air (atomization of petrol which becomes vapor by mixing into air) which holds the main key of Power Up by combustion.

The Honda F1 engine inhales the air fuel mixture (up to "Four milk cartons" which is about 4 litres) in one suction though the displacement volume is 3 litres.

As F1 is a 4-stroke engine, its 10 cylinders intake air once in 2 rotations. When engine rotation is 19000 rpm, the required time for 2 rotations is about 0.00631 sec. Inhaling 4 litres in so little time means inhaling about 600 litres of air in 1 second!




Drivers feel heavier in weight

F1 engine inhales 600 litres of air fuel mixture per second.

To achieve such fast inhaling function, the resistance or friction of the route which inhales air has been decreased through lubrication.

Further, the most important is Valve Timing and amount of Lift Control Technology (like at what timing, at what speed, at how much intake valve should open etc.). Honda which is leading the world in petrol technology by "VTEC" - which is valve timing & lift control technology, it is now aiming with F1 mass production car by accumulation of long term and advanced analytical technology.



  1. When compared with 1 kg Hp, the Honda F1 is 8 times more powerful than S2000.
  2. Though the Air Volume Displacement capacity of F1 engine is 3 litres, it has an intake capacity of 4 litres air.
  3. While NSX runs 100 km/hr in 5.2 seconds, the Honda F1 has achieved a run of 200km/hr in approx. 5.2 seconds.
  4. F1 has 4.5 times more G-forces compared to a normal car.
  5. The Power Steering of Honda F1 is not for the purpose of making steering lighter.
