Totally, and I think that’s why they thought it was worth a press release. In the article they go right to how they’re setting a new power density record with this design.

Electric motors are just really power dense. The article says they managed a short term peak of 1,000 hp with that little flat 12.7kg motor and the continuous output could still be half that.

Just the cooling must be crazy.

Out of curiosity I looked up something comparable. It looks like high-performance integrated drive units that have other stuff like the single-speed gearbox, differential, and inverter are still only in the dozens of kg.
