Lets make a few assumptions.

1. The car’s aero is the same, and its the same type of car
2. The top speed was LIMITED by the drag and not the distance. (probably not true)

Since the required power is proportional the the cube of the velocity, to go from 230 to 266.9 mph would require

56.2% more power.
