A 208v 3 phase motor (208v because it is the lowest voltage common industrial electric motor) can be run from higher frequencies and voltages for a short time for more power or from lower frequencies and voltages for lower speed. Combine that with the fact that motors are rated by continuous horsepower and it actually isn't that difficult to find one that will outperform the original engine.
All modern production electric cars use 3 phase AC motors.
