F1: Torque of engines in Formula 1

There is a little of information for torque of F1 engines and a lot of information for their power.
Over the time Formula 1 engines have been changing because of restrictions applied by FIA. Summary of these restrictions could be find in Engine specification progression page in Wikipedia.

Some notes on Formula 1 engines over the years.

Information from formula1-dictionary

"For example, the 2006 2.4 litre Toyota RVX-06 V8 engine produces 552 kW (740 bhp) at 19,000 rpm and outputs 274 Nm of torque".

Information from epi-eng.com

"At the end of the 2006 season, Formula One engines typically used a 20,000 RPM redline (sometimes even throughout the course of a Grand Prix), and produced a peak power of about 755 BHP at above 19,000 RPM, with a peak torque of about 214 lb-ft (290 nm) at 17,000 RPM".

Connection

There is linear connection between power (hp) and torque for specific rpm. You could use online calculator of wentec.com to find the one value from the other one. Please note that the peak of power is different from the peak of torque.

More information

I did not find any information for the peak value of torque of actual F1 engines (1.6L, V6, 2014-present). If you have information for it, you could share it with the readers of the blog by adding a comment below.
Please take into account that measurement could include (or not) the power of Energy Recovery System (ERS), which will change value of torque dramatically.
