Thor specs show GCWR at 13,500 pounds, and GVWR at 10,360 pounds, so in theory even if your motorhome is loaded down close to its maximum weight rating (and I'm not suggesting that's a good idea), you should have up to 3,140 pounds to work with before reaching the Gross Combined Weight Rating.
if you don't pack a lot into your motorhome, then you may have a little more to work with for towing; provided hitch and chassis are rated for it. In this case the 5,000 pound hitch isn't the limit because you'd have to start out with a motorhome weighing only 8,500 pounds, and that's not likely to ever happen.
I'd get the motorhome weighed just to make sure, but you should be OK with a 2,700-pound car. You can also ask Thor to confirm.
Whether you'd be satisfied with available power (or lack thereof) or handling performance, I have no idea.
