Understood. You said you'd need to spend $$ to "get the weight savings" not "get to 1500 kilos".
For me, 1500 kilos is really not important. People seemed to be pretty jacked off about it, and that's wonderful....except when you realize that what pretty much everyone is arguing about is true. Curb weight, gross weight, EU weight, whatever, it's lies, damned lies and statistics. Hell, we know Ferrari lies, cheats and steals to get "the numbers" where they want, it's all malarky.
What's really important:
Engine is 10 kilos lighter than S65
Overall car, comparably equipped, is 80 kilos lighter than E9X.
Otherwise, there are just too many variables to ponder and, like MPG results, are really a meaningless number.
