For all the comments about how the "F1 can't possibly only have 627PS" based on its acceleration figures and top speed: Yes and no. The engine is rated at 627PS, but it has a ram air roof scoop that can increase its power at speed. Possibly the car could have over 640hp.
Acceleration. you are comparing the F1's acceleration with cars like the 720s/765lt in terms of acceleration without factoring the F1 power to weight. The F1 weighed 1138kg WITH fuel, while a 720s will weigh well over 300kg than it. As Sir Issac Newton would put it. Acceleration = Force/Mass. So it only made sense that the F1 accelerated as fast as these 2 cars above 100mph.
Top speed: The F1 is MUCH more aero dynamically efficient, and it's a much smaller car. Just by that calculation, The 720s/765 may need 25-35% more power to match the same top speed.
Then it also depends on the gearing, as in does peak power arrive at top speed? Turbo charged engines get max power lower in the rev range and taper off towards the red line. The 720s when shifting to 7th gear, the car slows down due to revs being too low. But In 6th gear it hits 216mph around 8000rpm. Peak power is between 6500-7000rpm, and the car has 50hp less above 7500rpm. Meanwhile the F1's peak power arrives at the red line, precisely at peak power because it's a N/A engine.
The F1 had so little drag and downforce that the car would start moving around above 200mph. Today's cars are much bigger, heavier, stable, safer and care more about cornering grip, hence need a lot more power to move.
