Here's one
source at least that quotes (3,031 lb/1,375 kg) for the C2 which is the closes to the Carrera S today.
Variations will always make it tricky to get an exact number but I think this number is believable for such a high performance vehicle.
You can make small cars light but once you add performance it's very hard to make them light. Just bigger beefier components all over.
That's the argument against modern day econo boxes (say Fiesta ST). Yeah they're light but they can't compete against say a Porsche in terms of performance and once they do they will gain weight.
I'm very biased here obviously but I think the Mazda MX-5/FT86 are the sweet spots of performance and weight.
