25hp is enough to propel a very non-aerodynamic scooter (it's about what most 250cc models produce), with the rider sitting up in the wind blast, at a continuous 130kph. An car can be more efficient at cutting through the air.

What it's not enough for is much acceleration at those speeds. But a battery buffer would help hugely, as long as you aren't driving very sportily for an extended period of time.
