Agreed... if the weight is that low. I thought they were saying a couple of hundred pounds less and the outgoing car is around 4,000lbs. I was thinking the new car would be 3,800ish.

Regardless, if they can get the power to the ground, this car will be as fast as almost anything out there in a straight line. The MCT is the only let down in my view. I didn't like it on my C63 and it will be the achilles heel of this car too unless they do something to fix that.
The W204 LCI was actually 38xx so ditching the steel will easily get to at least 36xx .
