Specifications BRM P48 F1 OW 1960 blueprint

The BRM P48 F1 OW 1960 is an iconic Formula One racing car that dominated the racing circuit during the 1960s. This unique car was built by British Racing Motors (BRM), the most successful British Formula One racing team of its era. The P48 was driven by some of the greatest drivers in the sport, including Jim Clark and Graham Hill. The car was designed as a combination of an open-wheel design and a full-bodied design, and was powered by a 1.5-liter V8 engine. The P48 was far more aerodynamically efficient than its competitors at the time, which allowed it to be incredibly fast on the track. The car boasted a low and expansive front air intake which allowed for efficient cooling, while also reducing drag on the track. The most distinctive feature of the P48 was its striking silver exterior design, which featured large, black painted BRM logos on both sides. It also had black panels around the wheel arches and near the exhaust pipe. The car had a medium-sized and relatively low profile cock-pit with a slim nose and deep wheel wells. It had an overall length of 4.15 meters and a width of 1.80 meters. At the heart of the P48 lay an impressive engine, a 1957 BRM P25 3-litre V12 engine which was highly advanced for the time. This engine produced 230hp at 8,000rpm, which was enough to propel the car to reach top speeds of around 200mph (321km/h). The P48 was an uncompromisingly fast car on the race track, and it won numerous races during its active period. Today, the P48 is an important part of F1 history, and is an iconic symbol of the glorious past of the sport.
