I saw an interesting YouTube video about why no production car can go 300 MPH / 483 KPH.
I rounded up to 500 KPH, because it's an easier number to remember.
He used the Bugatti Veyron for a bunch of calculations, because it had plenty of performance figures for calculations.
His primary conclusion was it was cooling was the major stumbling block.
1,500 HP = 3,000 HP of cooling!
This is enough cooling for a 20,000 M3 office building with over 40 outdoor units.
A lot of car radiators, 10 in this case, means a lot of drag.
I know electric engines and batteries generate a lot of heat also.
So anyone have an opinion?
Again we're talking a production car; not a one-off salt flat run.
