There’s a difference between “heavy petrol car” and “heavy hybrid”
Would you rather pick a 4700lbs C63E or 3950lbs M3C? 4200lbs M5C or 4800+lbs M5C hybrid?
There’s always a lighter car—my integra type S should be here in the next few weeks. I’m excited for it, E46 weight and power with nearly G80 passenger space. Probably the lightest modern performance car that retains 4-seater practicality and modern tech. We’ll see if I end up getting rid of the G80 for it, as both are plenty quick around town.
But weight is always a trade-off, and the question is whether what you gain offsets the feel and agility you lose. Everyone is going to have a different threshold for this, but for me, hybrids go too far.
