Benz could get the weight down to 2000 pounds BUT...
The cost would be doubled or tripled or quad... (however its spelled). $$$$
The aluminum frame, ah la Vette or Ferrari 360 Modena. $$
Totally Carbon Fiber body, interior and exterior, CF seats. CF-Very Expensive. No robotic CB construction-hand built. $$$$
Carbon Fiber Ceramic disk brakes, titanium differential & transmission case, CB drive shaft.$$$
Titanium diesel engine. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
