Does anyone know if the claimed '532 lbs.' For the weight of the
rallycross car is in error?

It seems awfully light for a car with all wheel drive, 6-speed,
active differentials, and original saab block, and head. I think I'd
have trouble believing 532 Kg. The unibody alone I bet weighs more
then 532lbs. Liter class world superbike machines weigh 300+ pounds,
and make more extensive use of exotic materials.

It also seem that a AWD car with 500hp, weighing only 532 lbs,
shouldn't take 2.5 seconds to get to 60. The 1 wheel drive bikes,
with 1/3rd the horsepower, take half as long.

Maybe '2,532 lbs'?? Would still be very light for all the hardware.
