Chassis weight, Elise vs Esprit ?

[tacoboy]

The chassis on the Elise is 150lbs.
How much does the chassis on the Esprit weight?
I know the total weight of the Esprit is in the 2800lbs (GT3) to 3000lbs (V8) range.
I'm trying to figure out how much weight could be saved by building a new model Esprit based on the engineering used on the Elise.
This would be a Classic Esprit using something
like a transversely mounted 2.2 liter (intercooler, turbocharged) motor.

You mean like a VX220 turbo?

Can't really compare as the Elise chassis provides floor and and bulk heads the Esprit is a backbone chassis with the body providing the above. It will be lighter but I don't know exact figures. About a third of the cost to make too......
