How much do u think the thing will weigh??
1st off it's a convertable... the steal beams running through/under the car make up for most of that... then u have the huge 6.5L twin turbo V12 up front... and then all of the electronics, the folding METAL roof, all of the other luxuries like leather/wood, etc, etc...
I mean... sure... they could have made a car what weighs somewhere in the mid 3000 lb range.. but it would either twist like it was made out of toothpicks, or the materials strong enough but light enough would make the car cost twice as much as it already does...
Think next time
