"Superlight is also 25kg lighter, the weight reduction being achieved by forgoing luxuries like a heater, carpets and a windscreen."

"The CSR Superlight 260 costs from £37,995 – £995 more than the standard CSR260."

565kg?
and they call that a superlight?

BTW, does anybody know the weight of the CSR race cars?

Not light at all is it...............getting away from Chapmans original concept, especially when a not unsubstantial 100 Kg driver is on board..........

how can it accelerate quicker than a R500 with inferior P/W ? and is it me or does the aero screen not look quite right on an SV? maybe it's just the colour?

[scalper]

if I am not mistaken the CSR has some ridiculously large (and heavy) tyres at the back which should give it a bit more traction off the line
also the duratec probably has quite a bit more torque than k series

At risk of being flamed - the SV never looks 'right' IMO. But then again being an arty designer type proportions are everything
