Recently a company in the middle east introduced a concept car with 5000hp!!! previously the benchmark for crazy power was the Bugatti Veyron with 1000hp and that was held for a long time until Koenigsegg decided to join the party with their 1:0ne hypercard with 1340hp. the horsepower game has moved in this direction with several car companies like Ferrari and Mclaren joining in with their hypercars closing in on 1000hp outputs. With 1000hp the tyres can just about keep the car on the road but with 5000hp?! there are no tyres on this planet that will be able to reign in the power. It is very likely that without traction control the car will be spinning its wheels until the tyre is completely destroyed since it is next to impossible to put the power down.
Dragsters with 5000hp are difference since they are only used for a few minutes but a street car with 5000hp will be a recipe for disaster. Building big engines with multiple turbos is not unheard of but pushing the boundary by 5 times is ridiculous. Sure it will sound good at the local pub telling the blokes you have 5000hp in your car. Naturally you will get laughed at and you won't be able to use 90% of the power.
