Remember, the total drag increases with the cube of velocity (linear rolling resistance plus squared air resistance). Therefore, you'd need:
300^3 / 229^3 = 2.25 times the power. 2.25 times 1500 hp is a 3,375 hp supra. Not likely.
Even to take the Veyron from 252 to 300 mph would require an upgrade to 1688 hp.
