I think you're wrong....
Are you thinking of kinetic energy an object has at speed perhaps?
Or am I!?

Yes, if all your drag was aero. Look at the ecomodder tools
The default is for a small economy car, but the results chart goes up to 200 mph. At 50 mph aero power is 5.79, at 100 mph aero power is 46.36. hp. At 200 mph it would require 370.86.
