You could have the after market v12 merlin option with that lower chassis rails
Merlins were mounted in suprisingly small spaceframes!

At 900kgs it would stop the titanic sink
If it was a Cobra it would be about right but it's in a se7en! I'm still a bit envious as my RX7 with a monocoque chassis is 1180 kgs
currently.

Must agree that some even half way good engineering could pull a lot of weight out of, and add a lot of rigidity to, the chassis - but then the
chassis is under construction so we don't know what the completed one looks like - what they seem to have done is convert it to some type of
semi ladderframe design.
Agree, if they are that concerned, maybe do the whole chassis from 1.25" - 1.5" box 2mm wall. Toy car is made per book and seems fine with
R V8, but with slightly more welded in sheet.
Still, it gives me confidence that my car is well under a ton
