Would be cool to see them do
The F-Type is one sexy figure. Some weight loss is not a bad idea.

As for engine choice the 5 liter V8 supercharged would seem natural, however there is the prospect of using a hopped up supercharged V6 in the name of weight saving. Regardless, the preliminary targets seem to be a 3 second something sprint to 60 and a £150k price point...Varney said he would like to take the F-Type Coupe to the point where it was still a proper F-Type but with lower weight – around 200kgs lighter – by taking a holistic approach across the car and lightening it where possible – including carbon fibre panels – which would all be possible with a 500 production run every year.
thats a tough one, basically you have to have it down to a science and look at EVERYTHING. A lot involved but worth it in the endit'll be tricky to keep the weight balance when shedding weight. that is something i've noticed when i tried to shed weight on my track car.
I suppose that one way to lose weight, but, there has been a lot of Jaguars doing this, some high profile ones too, Dick Van **** had to be rescued from his XJ, check out youtube, its on there, as well as a few F-Types that have melted.
what in the world is that
I think it's good that it's priced so high, it makes having one that much more of a reason to appreciate since it's not as easily attainable. To me, it's worth it.Its a bit shocking how much more expensive this super light version of the f-type is going to be. How many people are actually going to buy that? I guess quite a number, but it still is quite expensive even for the people who could afford a top of the line F-Type.
Do you think that it will be widely available if you have the money to spend?

Yup, some big key things that factor into it being so high in price.its all the carbon fiber
and the low production numbers.
all adds to higher $$
I don't think it's a matter of someone finding a way to mass produce it but more so more car makers using it and it becoming more of a standard thing to use, even in really cheap cars.you would think after all these years of carbon fiber being available someone would find a way to mass produce them for cheap
