"That's two and half tons of car I'm moving with less than 1 horsepower," Lamb said proudly.</i.

Blah, blah, words words.

Power is power. To move that mass at any speed will introduce some serious drag (primarily aero) that will require more horsies. Probably in the range of 60-100 at 70 mph for a truck, only nominally less than now.
