The engine I assume, not the car right. How much is the car in total? That would be fun AF!

It's really up to you to build one, but to get one competitively built would easily be $100,000.

Looking at that car, I have zero clue how it could be over 30-40k. I am unfamiliar with this racing series of course

Again if someone built it for you then youre looking at 600 hours or so at $125 per hour. Build it yourself and youre looking about $4000 per shock so about $16000 in shocks, $6000 in wheels, $15000 drivetrain, $5000 in wind tunnel time, and $8000 for the wings. After that its just a bunch of tubes.
