Techart Cayenne Needs Even More Power

I blogged about the Techart Cayenne and pointed out that the relationship between drag and speed was a squared one meaning that a Cayenne would need four times as much power to double its speed.  As my clever son pointed out the relationship above 200 mph or so is actually cubed meaning that it would need eight times as much power to do 400 mph or 5440 HP at which point it would spontaneously explode, scattering the Zuffenhausenian elves to the four winds.  For the love of God Techart don't do it!
