If de-contented "race edition" cars are any indication some of those extras being stripped amounts to a 100lbs at most. Only cheap way to reel in the mass while keeping the safety is to make them smaller.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoI dunno. If you look at modern supercars, they are loaded with luxury stuff, and their mass is noticeably higher than supercars of old when that shouldn't be the case. I suspect the "race edition" stripped version of many cars are still hauling around the fundamental design features they need to accommodate luxury features.
- sandworm101 3y agoSmaller, or slower. So many cars are out there running engines that are far too big, capacity that they never actually use. North American drivers seem to want cars that glide away from a stop or pass another vehicle without making a fuss, resulting in overcapacity engines. If we allow engines to actually rev to their potential, we can all do with much smaller overall designs.
