Chris Wilson Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=21974 They claim a dry weight of around 1500 Kgs, well, shame on them, that's obese. As a poster in the reply section points out the old 2002 road car, wet weight, was circa 1000 Kgs and not a square inch of carbon fibre to be found, or aluminium, if I recall correctly. Modern cars are just so HEAVY it's pitiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Theyre heavy because of all the crumple zones and safety gubbins I suppose? Nice looking car though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTRickeh Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 It annoys me a bit when people say the Supra's heavy. It weighs about the same as a small hatchback these days! Golf R32, Focus RS etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Its fairly lightweight compared to cars nowadays. Most BMWs/Mercs and audi's are the best part of 2 tonnes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanc Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 that is one sexy car! Look at those faaaaaaaaat rear tyres! That must've added some to the overall weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I think I'm old. New cars just don't do it for me. I'll probably be all over this in 10 years time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 The latest 911 turbo weighs as much as a Supra. Have you seen the size difference? Shocking. I think this picture is a good one showing just how lardy things have got: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
