Actually… now that it occurs to me, there is no possible way that this can make 10,000HP at only 2500 RPM with "just" 147.1 liters.
Look at the constants:
147.1 liters (8976CI)
2,500 Redline
Let's suppose that it actually makes peak output at 2500RPM.
(10,000 * 5252)/2500 = 21,008TQ
Solve for BMEP and you have (150.8*21008)/8976 = 352.94
Seriously, a BMEP of 353psi from an N/A vehicle? Shens!
Even if this engine was capable of F1 levels of efficiency around 220psi, that would amount to only 6250 HP at 2500 RPM. I think they really have no idea what it makes for power and pulled that nice round number from their collective asses...
