Of course! Carbon fiber in the center console, grill trims, and rear diffuser. Even in the badge there will be carbon fiber, as you can see in my avatar.

Is the engine already fixed?

Sadly, no, all I have right now is the chassis. But I do have 2 engines in mind that would put in around 560 horsepower, and there's another engine that will put in 700, but its more of a muscle car engine, which is not really what I am not going for.

A lightweight engine would probably fit better with carbon fiber body structure.

My goal is to have a classic Italian race car feel, but in a modernized way. I think having carbon fiber throughout the car, and a simple but technologically advanced interior would give the car a lightweight feel.

I also like these vintage racing rims:





And maybe I can put some lights like these on my car if you guys know where I can get some that don't cost $8,000

tz3's may be hard to get. How about that, shape matches the drawing?

Sounds like naturally aspirated engine, aluminium, V8, high revs:

What do you mean by "shape matches the drawing"?

And of course I can't get my hands on actual tz3 headlights, but maybe some other alfa romeo models will have similar headlights. I already have some alfa romeo mito tail lights with me right now, so I may just want to stick with the celica headlights I have planned.

I didn't realized the stretched length to the bonnet. From the front, it looks rather similar, compared to your drawing.

Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione (2007–2010) - just out of production.

It will be extremely difficult to get 8c headlights, because they will be really expensive and rare. I might as well not use alfa romeo headlights since I already have Alfa Romeo tail lights which were already expensive enough coming from a wrecked 4c in Israel.

And did you say my design looks like the Giulietta? I am confused.
