Power is cheap compared to weight reduction.
I think you're right on the suspension though, the only business case that makes sense over here is a small cheap high mpg city car, start tallying up all the things this does and the money disappears mighty quick.

We'll have to see how they deliver on cost and weight when it goes to production. We all know the FR-S didn't hit the targets they initially proposed.
