Well, it would be beyond me, but I suspect that some smart kids will have no troubles. Interestingly, the battery has a peak power output of 60kW and the ICE nearly 90kW. The two working in tandem is nearly 150kW, well above the nominal 120kW (60 front + 60 rear) of the electric motors. I suspect that the power limits is both conservative (for long life) and limited by software. Being a Li battery, it could easily pump out more power. With just some work on the software, 200kW and a sub 16 second quarter is not out of the question.
