Wes,
A similar sort of technology already exists, and has been used. F1 called it KERS for Kinetic Energy Recovery System. It gave cars an extra 80bhp for a small handful of seconds. Sometimes it was enough to pass a car when used well, other times the weight disadvantage balanced it out. Most teams phased it out, and I think it will be out of all cars when the new season starts in a month or so.
