exceed those speeds by 50%? 100%? 200%?

         Above about 50 MPH the power required is proportional to the speed 
cubed! 100% increase ,say 50 to 100 MPH ,requires 8 times as much power 200 
% increase 50 to 150 MPH 27 times as much horse power.  A 26% increase in 
speed amounts to a doubling of power.

The engine of a car traveling at a speed of 75 MPH is producing about 2.5 
times than it would at 55 MPH. So that is like running almost 4kW instead 
of 1.5 kW.
