well,....first of all the present cars use V8 engines which revs up to 18000 rpm. But another factor behind it is the aerodynamic efficiency. Downforce is also a major factor that influences the speed or cornering ability of these cars.

∙ 14y agoThe overall speed, cornering and ultimately lap time of a modern Formula 1 car is achieved many factors. The most significant are:
- Vehicle Weight:
Formula 1 Technical regulations for the upcoming 2010 season mandate vehicle weight to be a minimum of 620 Kg (up from 605 Kg in 2009), including the driver. In comparison, the average 4-door family vehicle weighs between 1200-1800 Kg. The low mass of an F1 car allow it to accelerate, corner and brake beyond the limits of a typical road going vehicle.
- Engine horsepower and torque:
Formula 1 Technical regulations limit all entries to a 2.4L V8 engine, limited to 18000 rpm. Current F1 cars produce between 700-780 hp.
- Aerodynamic efficiency:
As speeds increase beyond around 140km/h or 90mph, increase air flowing over, under, and through an F1 car's body creates aerodynamic downforce. Downforce gives an F1 the ability to corner at much higher speeds than typical road going vehicles.

∙ 12y agoti has a v10 engine that produces 600-900bhp and its aero dynamics help it to stick to the road and corner extremely well. also there is a system when they are on a straight the rear spoiler opens to let air through as they don't need down force there and down force creates drag which slows you down

Fast.. probably 375 kph or so... but it all depends on the gearing and the aero.... NONE of the cars run that fast anymore because of the lack of downforce.
