The E-T16 has 818 hp and torque vectoring.

That car looks like it was taken from cyberpunk or something

    Looks more Cyberpunk than the Cybertruck.

    Why does a car need 805hp for public roads.

    Does it need it? No. Do I want it? Yes.

    How do you know ramenshaman can't handle that much horsepower? Is it a lot? Yes. Is it ludicrous? Not really.

    Most importantly, it's computer controlled, being completely electric, so unless they really shit the bed on the software, it should be fine. Not like literal explosions and rotating mass controlled by software

    For a second I thought this was a proper super hatchback but the pic with it next to people makes it look huge.

    Those people are in the background though. If you go off the wheel size for scale and estimate it to be around 20", the car is only 2x the height of the wheels, so not that big. Something small like that would be amazing with 800HP.
