Question

Is there anybody know whats 0-100 km in formula 1 cars? and whats the top speed?

Answer 1

Well in 2006 it was roughly,

0- 100kmh, 2 seconds

0- 200kmh, 3.9 seconds

0- 300kmh, 8.6 seconds

At a race track an F1 car will rarely go above 330kmh but possibly could go quicker if the downforce was taken right back and put on Bonneville flats, maybe 370kmh?

Answer 2

the BAR Honda team used a modified BAR 007 car, which they claim complied with FIA Formula One regulations, to set an unofficial speed record of 413 km/h (257 mph) on a one way straight line run on 6 November 2005 during a shakedown ahead of their Bonneville 400 record attempt. The car was optimised for top speed with only enough downforce to prevent it from leaving the ground. The car, badged as a Honda following their takeover of BAR at the end of 2005, set an FIA ratified record of 400 km/h (249 mph) on a one way run on 21 July 2006 at Bonneville Salt Flats.

Answer 3

0- 100kmh is achieved in approximately 2 seconds. This is impressive, as the engine's torque and general power is mapped to peak over 100km/h. Acceleration from standstill is only really required from the Start line.

The top speed of an F1 car is approximately 360km/h(225mph) in low downforce setting. This is also impressive as an F1 car even on low downforce setting generates substantial downforce.

In 2006 a V10 Honda 07 was specially designed with a low downforce aero kit for maximum top speed. It was used to set the speed record of an F1 car, so the car was fully within the 2006 regulations. It acheived a top speed of 397.4 km/h (246.9 mph) on the Bonneville salt flats.

A much more impressive statistic however is this (- and I doubt there is more than a tenth of a second difference in the modern V8 era)....

A 2006 V10 F1 car can accelerate from 0-200kmh(120mph) and then brake to 0 again in 7 seconds !!! Incredible.

Answer 4

The F1 cars are very light but with they have grooved tires, no traction control and the aerodynamics don't help much with a getaway.

Back in 1990 an Italian magazine tested the F1 Ferrari.

It produced in the region of 650+ HP from it's 3,5 liter V12 and had tires that apart from being slicks they were also wider than those on todays' cars.

I recall 0-100 being 2,4

0-160 3,4

0-200 4,5 seconds.

I seriously doubt that modern cars can beat the 0-100 sprint of that Ferrari with those fat slicks, they don't have the grip for that.

I think it was DRIVE magazine that did their annual 0-160-0 shoot out and they had called a Funny car dragster and Jack Villeneve's BAR Honda.

The dragster won that, it did 0-160 is a second or less and took nearly six seconds to stop from that speed.

The F1 car took 3 seconds to come to a full stop , bet it would brake from 300 to 200 in a mere second, that's where the downforce is at.

I'm not sure who drove the car, either the test driver or Jack himself  but his reflexes were out of this world, 0,1 sec reaction time, others took around 0,4.

Reaction time also has to do with how quick the car reacts to pedal pressure.

Anyway, it took 3,1 secs to get to 100km/h, very very difficult to put the power down.

I think it was 4,3 sec for 0-160.

Schumi's Benetton with 750hp+ back in 93 would reach 280Km/h from a standstill in 8.5 seconds.

As far as top speed is concerned I can recall Coulthard being clocked at almost 224 mph(360 km/h) in practice for the Italian GP at Monza, when he was driving for McLaren(In 2006 to be exact).

Some slipstreaming may have been involved though.

An F1 Honda I think it was that reached nearly 400km/hour on a US lake last year, using a small rear wing you'll never see on a car in an F1 race.

EDIT: Ok, so you got me looking.
