With such a low mass and small frontal area, you could put a 1.9L WV TDI engine in it and get 120+ mpg @ 70 mph, and with stock horsepower and proper gearing, easily top 200 mph... and it would probably do 0-60 mph ~5 seconds in that configuration.

When Dr. Michael Seal was running the automotive research at Western Washington University, their 'Viking' series of hand built cars were exploring this territory.
The numbers are for the taking!

In 1991, NISSAN had an FEV, BEV concept, Cd 0.19, with 45.4% aft-body, not quite as 'long' as Mercedes-Benz new EQXX, with 47.2% aft-body and Cd 0.1716.
