How many production cars do you know of having that kind of power from the kind of motor even leaving aside the weight. NONE! And before you say it's a racing engine, no it is not a racing engine. As some else said, what better way to test an engine than running it at 100% for 24hrs straight. They're testing technology that will be put in road cars sooner rather than later. Even F1 cars are used to test technology for road cars. Flappy pedal gearbox, carbon ceramic brakes, carbon fiber chassis, tires, KERS... It's all thanks to racing so stop saying it's not impressive for a racing engine.
Prech!
