500hp might be somewhat overkill anyway, as the ICE is going to be used only to drive a genset. But still, even though a turbine engine has a higher power-to-weight ratio and fewer moving parts, it still sounds too hard to justify their use in a road-going vehicle even if it's a serial hybrid. Even a Wankel engine could make more sense.
