Not really. The electric drive on the 918 is split between the front and rear axles with 129hp and 156hp respectively. Further, the peak power of the electric motor is not necessarily at the exact same RPM as the 608hp from the combustion engine, so the two power number cannot really be added. But even if we do, the 918 has at most 264hp more than the RS at the rear wheels, not 400
