$1,000,000,000. To build a single car. This is *WAY* more than the auto industry spends to develop a production supercar. The money can only be spent on paying your design and construction teams, on the vehicle itself, and if you don't spend it all during construction, the balance is still usable only for car-related expenses. Fuel, security, garage, repairs, etc.

Some ground rules:
[*]It can't fly
[*]A maximum of one vehicle. It can be articulated like a truck, but it cannot exceed 90ft in total overall length. If over 30ft overall, the vehicle MUST be articulated.
[*]It may not exceed 13ft tall
[*]Some form of internal combustion engine must be utilized. Propane, diesel, LNG, gasoline, methane, it doesn't matter what the fuel is, it just needs to be an ICE.
[*]You can hire any designers or engineers from company currently extant. You can also contract individual parts out to individual companies.
[*]You *CAN* start with a production vehicle and modify it, if that's your thing.
[*]It must be capable of highway travel in the United States. 2 rearward facing mirrors (or cameras), headlights, tail lights, license plate mount (rear only), 45mph minimum top speed.
[*]Your car may not be fueled by dead cats.
[*]There must be AT A MINIMUM, two seating positions.
[*]No teleportation devices.
[*]Please stick to the laws of physics.
[*]Women not included.

easy.

Big motor, big tires, light in weight, serious downforce, and keep it street legal.

-edit- bascially a supercharged flat 12 with serious rubber. A go-cart for two if you will.

hmm..either a diesel supermonster 90foot long, 13ft. high humer h1 like road warrior with high spped rubber tracks,capable of running over anyone that cuts me off or b,

think elise but lightere. complete carbon fiber body, 2 seater with lowest cd possible. make ti large enouh to shoehorn a 10 rotar turbo wankel mated to a CVT capable of handling the power. 4 wheel turning, some completely new tire tech to handle 300mph speeds, a chasis/frame that can stretch to create a long wheelbase at higher speeds and to compress to create a short wheelbase for those mountain roads(the car will be mid engined, AWD, 50/50 weigt dist.)

or c,
a Modified M1A1 tank.

My vehicle will follow the size and specs. It will have a nuclear reactor creating insane amount of watts of electricity. It's body will have all lead all over it, and some metal alloys in it also. Not forgetting it is able to shock any person around 6 ft of distance without the proper ID tag (for defense) In any case, it will hold a 5 kiloton war head and will self detonate if it was stolen. Lastly It has an ipod station unit :)
