Well, to start with you could get an aluminum/carbon-fiber trailer.

Ford needs to do something to stay ahead of companies like Inrekor.

What I dream about is Inrekor's flat-pack aluminum composite drop-in replacement VW Beetle floorpan under my 1958 Beetle body. Maybe full fenders and skirts in Coral Rot. 36hp case, Wolfsburg West reproduction Okrasa heads and Nikkies.

EDIT: Here's an example from their [3D scrolling] webpage.

CHALLENGING LIMITATIONS –
Weighing around 400kg without the battery pack, the QBEAK is about half the weight of comparable cars in the same category, due to the amazing lightweight inrekor™ chassis and its impressive technical properties.
