About 330hp but make it light weight and spartan with e85 style suspension with a stick. Instant classic 38 mpg plus the emotor.
This would be huge.

And heavy. The battery pack needed to power an electric motor would ALL but guarantee that this "car" would weigh in excess of 3,500 lbs without significant use of exotic material. At that point, you might was well just stick with the i8 because it'll probably cost the same.
