You might have a better chance with a very powerful 4 banger that will make over 350 HP if you can, as it will sell in Europe as well benefiting from the low tax system if doesn't exceed the 2000 cc.
Without heavy batteries and electric motors, a small but very powerful NA engine only with a better interior will make it cheaper and more attractive financially.

Or,

Keep that mix and match and call it the next i8 failure.

V6!!!!! Blasphemy!

I6 or die
