I'd love a 7 Lotus, Caterham, whatever.

I'd think that it would be cheaper and easier to put a regular 'busa bike engine in the thing. There are guys out there with 400hp coming out of a turbo charged 'busa that's not a V-8. The V-8 would probably have better low end grunt, but at 1200#, it might not matter.
