It has been built as "an engineering challenge to get the weight as low as possible using Mazda's gram strategy as the inspiration." When asked why Mazda was choosing Britcar, Mazda spokespeople replied, "because we'd like to show up that Chris Harris bloke." We swear that's what they said. Scout's honor. If we were scouts. Which we weren't
Damn... Enough said.

Don't think they could get the 8 quite as light... they'd have to go through some pretty extreme measures considering the 8 is a bigger car and has roof.
Would love to drive one of those... Wonder how something along those lines would sell. Not necessarily quite that bare bones, but remove as much unnecessary stuff for weight savings (at the expense of features, of course) and increased power. Something kind of in between this car and the sport model.
