Howdy-
You have a very ambitious plan. It is certainly possible to build a car with those parameters but you will need significant budget and serious engineering and building skills.
As for sizing motors (and a lot of other things to consider when planning a conversion) look at the wiki. You are comparing apples and oranges in continuous and peak ratings. You also need to know the relationship of Kilowatts to horsepower (10 horsepower is about 7.5 kilowatts).
Direct drive is certainly doable with the right motor and controller combination.
You didn't state your range goals but by the time you have pulled all the ICE stuff and related support components, then installed the motor, controller, charger, etc you may only be down a couple of hundred pounds from stock. To maintain stock weight or close to it the battery is going to have to be light. With the right type of lithium cells you can still get tons of power out of such a battery, but the tradeoff of a small, light battery is modest range.
Good luck.
