Light cars

What are some of the lightest non race cars

 

[Ross]

The Caterham and the Ginetta G4 both weighing in at less than 500 kilos

 

[mjm_98]

I forgot about caterham what's the gienetta like to drive

It spins out a lot if you don't have traction control on but overall, not that fast but very agile.

Those 2 are probably the best light cars. All models of the Toyota MR2 are good as well. Alpine A110 is another good one.

What are some of the lightest non race cars

depends if you mean 1000kg or under.

 

[GoSpeedRacer]

The Fire Blade is the lightest @ 369kg, with the Subaru 360 '58 2nd @ 385kg. Well, unless you count the 85kg PDI RACING KART.

The G4 is 3rd @ 454kg and the Honda N360 '67 is 4th @ 475kg.

 

[88FoxBodyFan]

The Suzuki GSX/4 is pretty light as well.

 

[mjm_98]

Cars that can be under 1000kg at. Least

I ask this as I feel light cars are normally fun and am looking to broaden what I actually drive

I forgot about that one. What a fun car.

in that case a weight reduction cobra is 918kg

 

[mjm_98]

I have the cobra full upgraded and the only way to describe it is BEAST

 

[Delta795]

Arta Gariaya '03 / MotorSport Elise '98

 

[Baron Blitz Red]

The Hommell Berlinette is under 1000kg if I recall correctly. Same as the ZZII by Tommy K and the Spyker C8 after weight reduction #1

 

[iCyCo]

The Speed 12 is like under 800kg
My mistake

 

[tlsuth41]

Mazda Furai

 

[Epic B]

The Caterham 7 weighs like, nothing. It weighs about 800 pounds while stock, and can be reduced to about 700. This makes the 165 stock horsepower seem much more... more.

 

[watermelon punch]

My max weight reduced Minica Dangan is something under 600kg....

It's a kei car.

We're having an online race series in the VCRC with the Ginetta G4, unmodified.
It's a fun car!! Very light, yes. On the right tracks though, it's fairly well behaved. It turns nicely, though a tad finicky about that as it can get skittery if handled with heavy inputs at the wrong moments.
I would not call it rear-happy or spin-prone necessarily.
It will spin out... but I know a lot of cars that it's a lot easier to get the back end loose & causing a problem.

If you're looking for a tuned version of the car try the one from my garage (link is in my signature )

 

[p78]

the 15million alfa is rather light too

 

[krenkme]

the 15million alfa is rather light too

And very good, and fun to drive stock.

 

[racer39658]

Missing two of my favorite ultra-light cars... the Marcos and the Garaya. Too bad the Marcos, even with very nice HP/Wt when tuned, doesn't have the straight line speed.

 

[abaxas]

Lotus europa and elan.

Europa is best left stock.

 

[tazmanuk]

Does the Furai count as non race.If so have a blast.

The Alfa is great fun.

it spins out a lot when you drive it. It doesn't have any aids in real life and everyone else manages ok. Keep practicing 👍

Yes it's a great car and I'm always very aware at how lightweight it is.

you mean "can't control the traction" right?

 

[crcn11]

hahaha 👍

The G4 is 3rd @ 454kg and the Honda N360 '67 is 4th @ 475kg.

I wouldn't count the PDI as a car, if you know what I mean.

 

[Outeke]

Daihatsu Midget!!!!!

Race monster!
