The F1 starts at 1445kg and if you take out the cast iron engine, gearbox and diff, you could get that down to ~1200kg which is only a fraction heavier than a Fiesta (or EcoSport) and lighter than a Focus (where the engine is offered in Europe). Aero is worse, but the frontal area isn't too bad with that narrow cabin. More power and torque than stock, but tunable up to 200hp on stock internals. 200hp for 1200kg would do me nicely, especially if teamed with 40mpg.
