Interesting. The specifications cited in the article say the car weighed 550 lbs. Can that possibly be correct? I know Lotus is all about lightness but in racing trim they managed to take another 1000 lbs off the car, essentially shedding 2/3rds of its original weight?

Mecky:
No working Europa can weigh 550 lbs. That's just impossible. The engine alone weighs about 220 lbs. They meant 550 kg, which is about 1213 lbs.
