Perhaps a good analogy would be with the Bugatti Veyron, which can generate more than 1,000 horsepower and reach speeds in excess of 400 kilometers per hour, but which when operated at full throttle will empty its fuel tank in about twelve minutes.

Excessively high temperatures on the one hand, limited fuel tank on the other, but either way you go really fast for a very short time. ;–)
