    Tri-Motor and Premium Trim added to R1 VIN database

    Simplified, torque gets you fast and horsepower keeps you fast. 1000HP takes a Bugatti to 250MPH, but it's shaped slightly differently to create downforces, etc. It'd be an engineering challenge to get rid of that much motor heat too. At least the shark-fin antenna would be good.
