That doesn’t add up — 1,400 HP is over 1,000 kW of power, so if you ran close to max power for an hour, it would take well over 1,000 kWh of batteries, right? It’s not even in right ballpark.
Your previous post below states it has 56.8 kWh of battery capacity, so if averaged over one hour, it could support about 60 HP (assuming around 80% efficiency). Granted, on a track there would be regeneration involved, but 1,400 HP wouldn’t be possible for very long. Not on 56.8 kWh of battery.
I was joking before about a 1/4 mile run as all-out range, but numbers suggests a few minutes at 1,400 HP at most. And that assumes batteries and other components don’t overheat first.

Besides, it only has 56.8kWh of battery the one I ordered has 98kWh of battery...
On the other hand it has 7 electric motors: 3 on the front axle and 4 on the rear.
