What year?

Can you define "very fast car"?

10.5 seconds or less quarter mile

10.5 seconds or less quarter mile

that's Tesla P100D territory (see here)

Have a look at these threads and then let us know your budget

Tesla Powered BMW E31 8 Series

2014 Lotus Evora - Tesla DU, Time Attack Road Car

Tesla Powered Cobra Race Car

Just to scope the challenge... The Tesla Powered Evora has achieved 11.44 @ 124 (here) using the standard motor controller... with Damien's controller (here) you can push the motor until it melts so 10.5 from a single motor and 70 miles range may be possible
