The 1LE has more drag than the standard SS due to wider tires and probably more drag to generate some additional downforce. (or to negate lift)

HP requirement does not go 8x (fold) otherwise the Bugatti would need 3k+ hp to reach 253 miles per hour. It only takes around 600-700 hp to the wheels for most 3500-4000 pound vehicles with the right gearing to go 200mph.
