Well, that just looks adorable.

It definitely needs the biggest/most powerful engine that can be shoehorned in.

Turbocharged Hayabusa engine would be perfect.

But if you need some light 13" wheels.  (5 1/2 wide)

Not a perfect edit, but I think it gets the point across.

I think it's a good look.

Nothing like building a project car before anyone has actually bought the car (or even have plans to buy the car).

Y'know, I think I might lean EV town runabout for that one. I don't think trying to make that fast is going to lead to great fruition.

I just checked on it, "Pending".  In case it falls through, do we have any WV GRMers?

A couple motocycle powered carts did pretty well...

Oh, I know. This particular thing just looks -to me- like it wants to do a silly little parody of stateliness.

You *can* make just about anything fast, but this looks like it's got a bunch of metal up high on a tiny wheelbase/track.

Dr. Ian Malcolm also said "Must go faster!" 

So there's that.

Also just looking through marketplace, what about a Suzuki SV650 or SV1000 engine for that V-Twin torque over an inline 4?

I've seen one with the front sheet metal extended about a foot and it was powered by a SBC, or maybe it was a Hemi. The owner offered five dollars to whoever could identify the make and model. Quickest five bucks I've ever made.
