    Every time I get a faster car I need better tyres so the wheels never spin… The fuck kind of tyres would I need to stop 1000hp at each wheel spinning?

      Engineering explained did a video on something similar with the 3000hp Chinese hypercar, and his conclusion was that you’d need to be going something like 175mph (280kph) to be able to use full power without spinning the tires.

      Thousands of horsepower in a car is a terrifying amount of power.
