The main difference will be in the extrusions. The lightweight appeared to be just folded sheet, where as that will have very strong bits and will probably weigh in excess of 900kgs anyway. Light is often considered ton+ these days. Ferrari's etc weigh 2 ton+

the ferrari is only 1450kg and the racing one which will no doubt become the basis for the challenge stradale version is only 1250kg.

the lotus has a 4.8l v8 so will probably be more like 1100-1200kg min, with all the safety stuff they now must have id be suprised if they can get it under a ton especially as the elise is now 860kg.
