Best Answer

Fastest is a difficult one to answer, as it's not purely about straightline speed, rather about the quickest way around a given circuit.

Back in the mid- to late-1980s, some of the turbocharged cars were chucking out in the region of 1500bhp in qualifying trim. The Brabham-BMW, Williams-Honda and McLaren-Porsche were reputedly the quickest and nothing has got close since. And these were four-cylinder, 1.5 litre engines, albeit with turbos on them the size of the Royal Albert Hall.
