Yes, but I am willing to bet that your 2.3L Turbo doesn't make 800hp with hybrid technology. It's not about engine size, it's about the technology to develop more power using less fuel. It's not surprising that the auto industry want to get more out of F1 than simply competing, they want to use the F1 technology in their road cars, a lot of people will buy a car for "F1 technology", it's a business first, a F1 team second, which is kinda why I don't like manufacturers in the sport, I'd rather have 11 independents who's passion is racing, not how can we milk this for our profit.
The irony here is that these were and will remain the most expensive engines in F1 history! And billions spent in development. Cost cutting?
But now we can all have 800hp 2.4L Turbo V6's in our roadcars now...
Yes we have the relevance to the auto industry!
However I have been driving 2.3L turbo's since 2000 so they are a little bit behind the times, at least in my case.
