And two heads vs one, four cams vs two (plus all associated hardware), timing chain vs timing belt. Boxers are very heavy for aluminum 4 cylinders...

I'm just using published weights found online.


My original point was that it's definitely more than a 70lb weight difference, wasn't arguing it's a light engine.


Digging further, it seems that maybe the 594 is without gearbox. I'm finding sites claiming 594 with gearbox and others claiming 750ish with gearbox.
