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.
Here are some specs
Wheelbase 84 in (2,134 mm)
Length 156 in (3,962 mm)
Width 62 in (1,575 mm)
Height 60 in (1,524 mm)
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?

"Completed IRS measures appx 56" hub face to hub face" hmmm....

A couple motocycle powered carts did pretty well...

Ahh Glasshoppah, there is much to learn.
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.
