Sound deadening materials, side airbags, soft touch dash, aluminum trim, steering wheel mounted controls, sun roofs, etc all add up quickly, especially when you start removing pieces from the concept that are made of carbon fiber and replace them with production materials. For example, a hyundai genesis comes in at 3300 pounds and it isn't exactly over flowing with outlandish or unnecessary features.

The Celica only weighed 2500lb and has a decent interior.It also had side airbags and sun roof as for the rest of the things you included it really doesn't add that much weight except for the sound deadening materials which Celica probably doesn't have at all haha.
