No. You have two electric cars both going at 80 mph, with twice the weight. Strap them together aaaaaand.... They're still two electric cars going together at 80mph. But if you're counting wheel rotations, well now you have 8 spinning wheels. Top speed will still not match the Lamborghini.

Weight barely matters for top speed. Air drag is the real factor.

What's it called when you make an analogy for convenience and someone stretches it way past its breaking point as if it still applies to the original point?
