i think i'd make an M5 wagon (in permanant M-mode), but stick the Mercedes/AMG 6.5 liter bi-turbo V12 in it, for 600+ HP and 700+ lb/ft of torque. to that i'd add toyota's beefiest hybrid system, and add cylinder deactivation to the engine. it would run through a cool SMG/manual hybrid that would allow paddle/auto shifting or fully manual shifting/clutch, depending on what you wanted. the gear shift would have a special slot that would put it into SMG mode. the tranny would be hooked up to Audi's Quattro system (700lb/ft plus the hybrid boost has to get to the pavement somehow). inside, the interior would be designed by lexus, but seats by acura. the rear cargo area would be carpeted with super-tough, stain-resistant carpet to take real-world loading. there would be a trailer hitch. brakes would be the biggest brembos that would fit in the 20" wheels, front and back.
all black, with black wheels, and black tint.
oh yeah, and a couple rally-style driving lights up front.

change my name to michael knight, build a bulletproof talking supercomputer on wheels and fight crime from the back of a tractor trailer
I would contract Ferrari to build me an ENZO that I could fit in.

Frame - Lotus : must be around 1200-1500 lbs curb weight. I'd prefer 1000, but I don't think that's possible. Mebee with some extremely expensive material.. What does NASA have?
Suspension and Steering from Porsche : components borrowed from the Carerra GT or race spec car built with the lighest, strongest materials available.
Engine - Porsche : mid-rear mounted Boxer 6 twinTurbo right behind the cockpit tuned to put out about 500 or so HP. (I'm not greedy) - To keep it light, I will decline the AWD drivetrain and stick to RWD. All exhaust ceramic coated a la McLaren so I don't burn up alive in the thing.
Drivetrain / Gearing : Whoever makes the best 6 speed on the floor.
Nothing else. No front nav, air conditioning, what have you. Just lights will be fine, thanks.
Huge meats: 17x11s in the front, 17x13 in the rear. Three peice forged racing wheels.
Right to the point.. A track tested light, agile machine. Basically a GT3 tuned to the hills and lighter then hell.
