You think it will weigh less than the Crossfire?
The S 550 platform is lighter and supposedly Ford cut 400 to 700 lbs off the 2013 models. The 2013 (with the six) weighed in at 3350 lbs. ( I have one parked right here in the lot.)
I'm no aeronaughtical engineer, but the math should be the same. At worst it is 300 foot lbs of torque on a 2,950 lb chassis and my assumption about it being quick are valid.
The Crossfire was designed and built on a 1996 MB chassis. Compared to other vehicles,MB chassis are not known to be light. Almost 20 years later I think cars have gotten lighter. But perhaps that opinion is unfounded.
