Bore: 150mm

Displacement: 57L
Weight: around 800kg without reduction gear
Power: 1400hp - 2300hp depending on model and year. 1800hp running reliably in 1931
Engine Speed: 2200rpm
Fuel consumption: around 200g/hp-hr
NB. Historical stats and engine
Frontal area is similar to the Alfa-Romeo 126s it replaces. They do weigh a lot more though.
Its hardly surprising that the speed gets a bump when you have about twice as much power.
