    Engineering explained did a video on something similar with the 3000hp Chinese hypercar, and his conclusion was that you’d need to be going something like 175mph (280kph) to be able to use full power without spinning the tires.

    Thousands of horsepower in a car is a terrifying amount of power.

    Just have the marketing department call them “Full Self Sticking” and then they literally can’t lose grip.
