Weight of Metro 1 ltr and tranny or other?

Looking for small light motor/tranny for fwd or possibly mid engined configuration. I designed a street legal d series single seater for performance but I seem to be leaning more towards an even more efficient smaller drivetrain and shaped something like a gravity racer. The hardest part might be finding a tire to use. Sort of a bicycle/motorcycle tire size but crossed with a car tire like a formula v.
This has been bouncing around in my head for quite a while. I'm thinking it would be tear drop/Aptera shaped/crossed with a formula car, extremely light and small. Space frame with a plastic/composite/aluminum body and a cockpit type roof. Maybe 40-42" high.
Any feedback is welcome.
