To lower the maximum piston/conrod acceleration, Formula One cars use short-stroke, multi-cylinder engines that result in lower average piston speed for a given displacement. [12] After seeing some 16 cylinder engines, [ b ] the number of cylinders was limited to twelve in 1989, ten in 2000, eight in 2006 and six in 2014.
The BRM 4-cylinder engines are a series of four-stroke, naturally-aspirated, 2.5 L (150 cu in), inline-four Formula One racing engines, designed, developed and built by British Racing Motors, between 1956 and 1960. They were exclusively used by BRM; and powered the BRM team cars.
The following is a list of Formula One engine manufacturers. In Formula One motor racing, engine or power unit manufacturers are people or corporate entities which are credited as the make of Formula One engines that have competed or are intended to compete in the FIA Formula One World Championship.

Nine French Formula One engine manufacturers have produced engines either for their own cars or those of other Formula One constructors. Bugatti, Gordini, Matra, Peugeot, Renault and Talbot have designed and produced engines. Renault engines are associated with 12 World Constructors' Championship titles and 11 World Drivers' Championship titles.
Engine displacement is the measure of the cylinder volume swept by all of the pistons of a piston engine, excluding the combustion chambers. [1] It is commonly used as an expression of an engine's size, and by extension as an indicator of the power (through mean effective pressure and rotational speed ) an engine might be capable of producing ...

1994–1997 Ford-Cosworth EC / ED engine—DOHC 3.0/3.5 L (Formula One racing engine) 1996–2020 Jaguar AJ-V8—small displacement DOHC V8 engine family also used by Lincoln LS and Ford Thunderbird; 1996–1999 SHO V8—3.4 L DOHC 60° V8 designed and produced with Yamaha Motor Corporation.
The engines have been in use since the 2015 Formula One season, initially run by the then newly re-established McLaren Honda works team. [1] Over years of development, power unit output was increased from approximately 760 to over 1,000 horsepower while utilising the same amount of fuel, as mandated by enforced technical regulations (Fuel Mass ...
