fyi, electric motor power translates directly to hp. 10kw = 13.4 hp, the only difference is you have instant torque.

do the math, you need OVER 1200 hp of "juice" (= 895kw+) to do 276, more power than the bugatti veyron. the fastest electric car on record went 208 and is about as aerodynamic as they come.

B&B's car probably tops out at 136, that 10k redline is probably the motor rating under "no load".
