Has anyone heard how heavy the car will be ?

All I see is how they're adding weight to it
Air/Con
Central Locking
Electric Windows

Has anyone been thinking about making it lighter ?

or are you all happy that it's light enough even with all this lead in it ?

How about Carbon seats and Mag wheels ?

The first Elises had ceramic disks, but the supplier couldn't keep up with production so they were dropped, shame.

I saw a link to 2.4kg cf seats, polycarbonate side and rear windows, lighter exhaust, alternator etc. Nice.

If the car doesn't feel as peppy as my 'gutted' '00 S2000, I might consider weight reduction of the Elise.

HI Mark,
Welcome to the board, think I've seen you on SELOC?

I'm quite happy with the US car as it is, it handles beautifully even if a bit heavier.

A lot of people have discussed ways to make the car lighter, it'd be relatively easy to shed 50-100 pounds for those who really need it. I'll keep mine just the way it is.
