"allowing for a weight savings advantage of 66-88lbs under the original weight of the Lotus Elise."

Did I read corectly of a weight savings of only 66 to 88 lbs under stock??
The interior and exterior has been fully replaced with a custom raw carbon fiber body allowing for a weight savings advantage of 66-88lbs under the original weight of the Lotus Elise.

even though it looks chill it's a waste of money if they only saved that little amount of weight... must be nice to be able to waste money like that because you feel like it
