I simply realized my honda S2000 MY00 weights 2809 lbs… I nonetheless remeber a dialogue with an Elise proprietor about tbe truth the S2k was too heavy. �� see the place we at the moment are.
Between the S3 Elise and S2000 it’s 360kg or so kerb weight distinction (900kg vs 1260kg), share clever 40% increased weight. Dynamically that % change can provide a automotive considerably completely different traits that the heavier mannequin can’t simply emulate, however I don’t assume an identical “tossability” is out of the query. 40% is just not the widest vary in sporting highway authorized vehicles, although.
My Caterham is 525kg kerb weight and handbook M2 is 1700kg, for a 224% distinction, so the traits are very completely different and there’s no method to engineer the M2 to really feel just like the Caterham or nothing that Porsche has in it’s vary that comes shut, both.
Weight optimization on the M2 will subtlety tweak the traits, however engineering clever any distinction between F87 and G87 fashions can simply be optimised for equal really feel or efficiency, with solely round 10% weight distinction relying on configuration.
