The Deltawing was 300 HP. The ZEOD engine is 400 HP. The ZEOD may have more drag, but 33% more? And if it does have that much more, it would be because it has a lot more downforce, which would help with lap times. With all the batteries, it's heavier, which would impact lap time a little, but not to offset all that extra power. Either way, it should be capable of going a good deal faster than the DW, and it will be more a matter of choice about fuel consumption that will determine what speed it actually runs at. Or maybe racing politics.
