Lightweight V8 coupes?
Discussion
Lightweight V8 coupes? The 2005 V8 Vantage or the Jaguar F-type are not lightweight. Corvette neither.
What's out there? A lightweight sports car with a powerful V8 is probably the most fun to be had. Specifically if it's a manual.
To be lightweight we are probably talking 2 seats I would guess.

What do you class as light weight? There's a lot of difference between a modern car and a car over 20 years old.
True. And I was indeed talking about more modern cars. This is the reason I brought up the Vantage and F-type. That's about the age range.So yes 20 years and younger we could say. I know older cars will be lighter. They had nothing in them compared to more modern cars.What I would class as lightweight? Something at least under 2800-2900lbs or so.

That’s 1300kg. Find a modern coupe with any engine that weighs that! A BMW M2 (hardly a huge vehicle) is 300Kg too heavy!
A modern coupe with any engine that weighs that? I give you the Alfa Romeo 4C. 2000lbs to 2300lbs depending on the version. And of course the Lotus Exige, Alpine A110 too. You said any engine.
But well yes, hence the thread. I tried thinking of some and couldn't really come up with much. There is the new TVR Griffith, if it ever comes out. It is supposed to be around 2750lbs.
