The power needed to reach faster speeds increases exponentially. This is because the mass of the vehicle actually increases as it accelerates but we don't need to get into that.

How does the mass increase? That is pretty interesting. The kinetic energy obviously increases, thus requiring more motor breaking to slow it down, resulting in decreased run times, but I never heard of anything gaining Mass as it accelerates... unless of course you are running on a very muddy track!
