The BRM 4-cylinder engines are a series of four-stroke, naturally-aspirated, 2.5 L (150 cu in), inline-four Formula One racing engines, designed, developed and built by British Racing Motors, between 1956 and 1960. They were exclusively used by BRM; and powered the BRM team cars. It was constructed to conform the FIA engine requirements; necessitating a 2.5 L naturally-aspirated engine displacement formula. The power output for these motors were between 260–285 hp (194–213 kW), and 205 lb⋅ft (278 N⋅m).[1][2]
