the BIG question nobody has addressed or asked
So... its 680hp.... for a minute or two.
How fast can power be generated with the brakes on the track or extreme back road driving vs how quickly it is deployed.
ie, you use your 280hp boost empty in 2laps and it takes the rest of your 20min session to get it charged back up...?
Im hopeful but being realistic its likely to be a 280hp party trick for city use or "normal level spirited driving". Not something that can sustain itself if your doing 60-130mph on closed country back roads or any racetrack if your really driving the car.
