Munich. It packs more than 900 bhp, weighs less than 90 kilograms and has a maximum engine speed of 19,200 rpm. The BMW P83 engine with which the BMW WilliamsF1 Team is pitching for the 2003 Formula One World Championship title will be put out to pasture after the final race ? the Japanese Grand Prix ? in three weeks? time.

Up to now, no more than broad skeleton data on this power pack from the Munich Formula One factory have been released. Ahead of the last two races of the season in Indianapolis (28 September) and Suzuka (12 October), its profile is now fleshed out.

Who would have guessed, for example, that 1,950 CAD drawings were made for this engine? Printed out and laid end to end, they would cover a distance of 1.3 kilometres.
