Evora is a heavier than a BMW 3 series?

...so i got to thinking - wich is allways dangerous! reading the US specs for the Evora. what if you looked at weight per gross square inches of 'real estate foot print' ??

Evora: .2448 lbs per sq"
3,046 lbs
170.9 L x 72.8 W = 12,441.5 sq" footprint

BMW 328 coupe: .2369 lbs per sq"
3,351 lbs
181.1 L x 78.1 W = 14,143.9 sq" footprint


comparatively the BMW 328 is only 300lbs heavier overall... for a bigger car with more "content" stuffed into it, that suprised me.

of course the evora will stomp all over the bmw performace #'s wise. and the 335 which would probably be a fairer 'performance' comparision is heavier...

anyways - thought it was an interesting comparision

i am still a big Evora fan boy though
