In all honesty its probably going to be a little heavier than previous even though the carbon has saved weight, ive now a full weld in cage.


But yes with the power to weight im hardly going to struggle with a few extra kg although, the front wheels might.

I reckon around 800kg, the maestro comes in at 810kg, (with 1 seat and harness), they were 1020kg new so pulled just over 200kg out by removing interior, all the metal from doors, window mechnisms, sound proofing, metal from boot, nearly all the loom, panels, no sunroof e.tc e.t.c
