it’ll manage a 0-62mph time of 2.8 seconds and a range of 249 miles. Top speed will be 158mph and it’ll rapid charge at speeds of up to 150kW. E-Legend also reckons it’ll manage two flat-out laps of the Nürburgring without the battery limiting your available power.

Well an F1 car does about 45 Litres per 100Km (about 8 mpg). So it would use about 20 litres for the two laps.
Actually current config of the Nürburgring is only 4.5Km.
I started to work out what the energy consumption for the audi is for the 20Km ring and got very good figures, which did not seem right. At full blast the electric motor and conversion circuits should be not very efficient. When I reduce the circuit to 4.5 Kms by 2 I get a comparative 50% efficiency which seems about right.

But an F1 car isn't going to have a 249 mile fuel tank range (i.e. 31 gallons @ 8 mpg) which the E-legend does have.

Re the battery life, 2 laps of the Nurburgring. This affects mega performance petrol cars too. When Top Gear did a race across Europe, I'm pretty sure Clarkson said that deciding what speed to hum along the autobahn at was quite tactical, because at full speed his McLaren Mercedes SLR would drain its tank in about 12 minutes, and a more efficient speed might reduce his number of fuel stops drastically.
Re: the million euro price for a retro effigy restomod thing: I blame Youtube channels like Petrolicious and Harry Metcalfe. Suddenly there's a whole new generation of millennial "classic performance car enthusiasts" with asymmetric designer haircuts and curated wardrobes, that have been introduced to cars they've never heard of until 6 minutes ago. And they bring the same ADHD fervor to the Audi Sport Quattro as they've brought to everything else they've ever hyperfixated on. Naturally, someone has seen an opportunity to extract mega cash from this.

F1 cars are limited to 105Kg of fuel, which is 140 litres or 31 gallons. However the F1 car can do 249 miles at full tit. The E-Legend can do 10 Km.

You can have an og sport quattro one for around $1.2m nz, way better in every way

Imagine that the look of that front end without the bumper!
Accelerates virtually as quick as the E-Legend but would do more than 2 laps of the 'ring on a tankful.

But Aunty Cindy would say you were not legitimate and tax the crap out of you.
