Dammit - caught out on the first thread post - not sure at all, and thought it an odd number for a Mercedes model but was captivated by the photo and should have known better.

I didn't think the the dry weight of an Audi RS 5 DTM being less than 1,000kg (2,205 lb) was in the true spirit either, nor the heaviest vehicle pulled by beard weighing 2,205 kg so I offer:

The Rover P6 2205cc engine (and I really hope that's a photo of the right engine...):



ETA: And took too long to find exactly the same topic so was beaten to it!

Will that fit in the back of a Tesla?

Surely one of the most beautiful but flawed racing cars of all time, the Ford F3L (P68/69). The wheelbase of 2210 cms only just exceeded the rear track width - so almost a “square” racing car.

Errant handling and downforce issues meant that the car had a nasty habit of trying to kill its drivers. Elongating the wheelbase in the P69 design did not cure the malevolence.

To add a bit of context here. I always considered the Rondeau M378 to be one of the tiniest and stubbiest of the then Gp C cars.

However, compared to the F3L, a bit of a London bus with a wheelbase of 2480cms…
