Ultra-light V12!
I'm sure one of these would keep the weight of the car down!
Pictures here.
It even turns - with the help of a few batteries.

SO....
has anyone considered making a locost chassis out of Paper? it would be much lighter than a ally one and no welding would be required - just selotape!
Of course some extra chassis bracing might be needed but this would surely be offset by the light weight of the main structure......
I'll get my coat!

He should be introduced to that guy who built the F1 car from match sticks!
Perhaps they're long lost brothers.

No that’s silly, it should be made branches, bound with vines and the bodywork made from large leaves. Very eco friendly
