For 2006, engines are reduced in size from the previous 3-litre V10s to 2.4-litre V8s. The aim is to reduce costs and improve safety. With similar engine speeds, the change is expected to cut peak power by around 200bhp, which in turn is likely to add around three to five seconds to lap times at most circuits. The FIA may allow some teams to use 2005-spec V10s if they do not have access to competitive V8. The FIA will enforce a rev limit on any V10s to ensure performance is comparable with that of a V8.

The rules have changed a couple of times but I think it 3,000cc (3litre) for no turbo cars and 1,500cc for turbocharged units (if they are still allowed?) they get around 650/700bhp

From 2006, the regulations require the use of 2.4 litre V8 engines.
