Who would you have build your car?

I had a discussion with a coworker today. We were talking about what the best and worst cars were and best and worst car systems. Then the question became if all the manufacturers could team up and build the best car EVER!!, who would you have build what system? My answers:

Chassis: Porsche
Styling: Aston Martin
Engine: GM
Transmission: Mazda (manual), Porsche (auto/semi-auto)
Suspension: Porsche
Electronics: Toyota
Interior: Audi

What do you think? Any groups I missed?

Entire car:

Tesla.

Entire car:
A team made up of the winner of the last 10 Challenges.

Chassis: Porsche
Styling: Alfa

Engine: GM (Ford is a close second)

Transmission: Honda

Suspension: Rhys Millen
Electronics: Toyota
Interior: Catherham Steering: Lotus

Chassis- mazda/lotus

Styling- Koenigsegg.

Interior- pre- Mahindra jaguar.

Paint- ford or Maserati.

Engine- Chevrolet

I agree with the OP on selecting Porsche for chassis and suspension of a daily driver. But if the 'best car ever' is a weekend car, I'd lean toward Ferrari for both.

If I had the money I would just send a shell of a 73 911s to Singer and have them build me a RS replica with a 996TT drive-line.

Ford.

Engine: Andy Nelson

Me.

In reply to wearymicrobe:

I know, and truth be told I would love one but 200K+ is to much of a reach for me on a resto-mod to cut a check.

Now if a good one popped up around 100K used in a few years once the fad dies down then maybe.

Styling: The Italians
Engineering: The Germans
Technology: The Japanese
Tires: The French
Horsepower: The Americans
Interior: The British

Pinch you just nailed it!

Mercedes:

I was about to type Italian styling, built by the Japanese. Does this mean I want a Fiat 124?

Style of car: Sports sedan, front engine, RWD.

Exterior styling: Alfa.

Interior: Citroen.

Dash layout: analog gauges.

Electronics: Japanese, probably Honda.

Suspension: Porsche, but no electro-gizmos, just well tuned conventional parts, on secondary thought maybe Lotus would be a better call.

Engine: I want Alfa Busso V6 sound and feel but Japanese reliability. Sounds like another job for Honda, but maybe Mazda could do it better?

Drive train: Rear mounted transaxel with mechanical LSD. I'm old-fashioned and would like a regular stick shift manual, but I could be persuaded to try a dual clutch style gearbox. I don't know who's best at that.

Exhaust: Ansa, kind of loud, just short of obnoxious.

Driver aids: ABS with standard/sport/winter/off modes. Traction control with same options.
