It'd be great to design and build your own car, but it's a horrible exercise in efficiency. Your best move is to start with something small and efficient and turn it into something even better. Weight reduction, aero and powertrain work can do amazing things without forcing you to design and build your own suspension- or make do with heavy vintage suspension.
What modern cars weigh less than 2400 and 1750 pounds like the examples I gave do?
