That's good brainstorming right there. You sure have a lot of imagination.

75 kw peak won't get you 5s though, especially with the added weight from the batteries and the electric motor. HP is what makes a car accelerate. Torque makes it pull nicely, but HP does the work.

Edit: I didn't read carefully. ICE in the front + electric in the rear would indeed pull incredibly fast times.
