The cars have a speed limit as well as a torque and power limit.
You are mistaken if you think that is the only purpose of the carbon wrap.
No. If the LR had three, four or six motors it would still go the same speed for a bit, but only if the torque and power limits were set to the current LR limits. But as soon as the back EMF limits the motors, the plaid would pull ahead. And the rate of change of the lead would increase over time until the velocity limit is reached, because the power difference will increase over time.
Not sure why that matters. A car could have a single motor, no carbon wrap and be well over 1200 peak hp. The back EMF limits the power at higher speeds.
You keep bringing up the motor being the limiting factor. The battery is the bigger limiting factor than the motor. I am very certain the Plaid motors can match the Sapphire 1200hp BUT the battery is smaller than the Sapphire.
I don’t think the Plaid has more room for power as it’s battery limited.
That is why I keep bringing up the LR. It has room to be pushed.
I don’t know if you have driven an LR but it accelerates FASTER at 60mph than it does at 10mph. Now how many cars on earth do that. None. It’s being neutered.
