It's 3 am here in indonesia, and i can't sleep. So i'm now imagining my own car company. Which is a bit mental.
Well, the company name will be called Arc. And the first car that i'll introduce to you is that. A Lotus Evora based sportscar called the Destroyer.
Gone the old 3.5L Toyota in the middle, replaced by the 2Litre, inline-4 out from a Lancer Evo. Tuned all the way to 590hp. Because mental. And it's still mid-engine, rear wheel drive.
And because the Destroyer is only 1.300kg light, it could do 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. Plus it came only with 6 speed manual gearbox.
But, despite the craziness, the car still delivers very comfortable ride at the highway, thanks to lotus tuned suspension.
Plus, you get a boot as big as a golf bag, and a nokia satnav to guide you, and makes the car usable as a daily driver.
Price starts at 80,000 USD. Only 100 of Destroyers will be made.
Arc Destroyer, simply destroy their competitors.
What do you think?

Why not a EJ20 out of an STI? Flat 4 configuration= lower center of mass, plus you can't beat the boxer burble. Could make 500 whp reliably, which is more than enough for a sports car of that weight.
Sounds like an awesome car, but the supercharged 345 hp evora S is too similar, with a new pulley and a head/cam job you would be pushing similar power to the boosted evo engine. Plus, no turbo lag!

Well, the whoosh noise is awesome. And lighter. And it's easier to source mitsu's engine in here.
