Wheelbase.........96.5in
Lenght..............153in
Width................66.7in
Height...............48.8in
Weight..............2150lbs(980Kg)

It should be noted that the ZZW30 was an EXCELLENT cornering beast. When I worked at a Toyota dealership, I was interested to see how it felt. To my surprise it felt very similar to my AE86, if only a little bit more refined. Damn thing would hug corners like you couldn't believe. Good thing my bosses never found out.

The main consensus now is 1200kg, since there was an article where Tada said the concept (read: CONCEPT) came in at 1200kg. Honestly ,however, I don't see how they couldn't shave it down to at least 1100. (~2400) in a final production bare-bones model.
