The car concept I like it front engine, rear wheel drive, manual transmission and naturally aspirated high revving engines. Of course I like the car to be very light. If to look at these criterias, the FT-86 is the perfect car for me. M3 is too heavy, Cayman and Lotus have the engine at the back, the 911 GT3 is too expensive...
So, back to topic, are there any infos on the wieght of the FT86? The last Alfa Romeo 4C Concept weighs 870 kg, but it seems to be all made of carbon fiber, what I don't think will make it to production, also it has the engine at the back. I would love it to be at least 1200 kg (DIN)! Any confirmation?
Thanks.

Hi Levi, from a recent article by Autocar, FT-86 could have a weight of 1100 kg.

In real terms I believe that the final weight will be at around 1250/1350 kg. A good result for a modern ad safe sport car. But I would like to find also a turbocharged option under the bonet. NA engine (around 200 hp) for tha entry-level. 270 for the turbo version. It would be great.
