Peak power, yes, the cars will have a thousand horsepower. On average, though, because of the conservation of energy and fuel flow limits. They will have an average power output of less than 600 horsepower, closer to 530 if I recall correctly. Enineering Explained made a good video about it. So overall I think saying the 2026 cars will also have 1000 hp is sort of misleading since it will only have that power available for very short amounts of time.
