Fast Cars And The Weight Issue
By Gavin Drake
Weight is one of the most important issues to consider when building a fast car for road or track.
Putting a car on a serious diet is pretty much free horsepower, as any attempt to lighten a car improves
the power to weight ratio, this seriously improves acceleration.
The gains on a lightening a car are huge and not just limited to gains in acceleration either. Once you
have lightened a fast car you will find the car performs better in the corners and under braking, parts
such as brakes and tires will last longer on the car also.
The potential gains are huge but it must be done correctly, you would not want to lighten a rear wheel
drive car too much on the rear or you may find traction a problem particularly with a high power output.
The truth is your fast car could be made a great deal faster cheaply and easily just by shaving a few
pounds off the body.
How do we remove weight from the fast car?
This bit is as easy as you want it to be, but as with most forms of car modification it depends on how
far you want to go. I know a guy who races a BMW and he decided to go all out on weight saving, he
even scraped every bit of under-seal from the floors of the car, extreme perhaps but he managed to
remove nearly 2 stone of under-seal, not a bad effort.
The obvious place to start saving weight on your fast car is by removing the interior, and anything else
that you do not need, the front seats can be replaced with light weight racing items, the unused wiring
removed, carpets and sound deadening, pretty much all of the unnecessary parts, my car has just a
driver seat and a cage with much of the unnecessary wiring removed. This makes for a car with very
impressive performance.
Many other components can be replaced with lighter parts, gear box casings, axle covers etc. It is
worth noting that a stainless steel exhaust is lighter than the same in mild steel, so this constitutes a
worthwhile investment.
It is also important to reduce the unsprung weight on the car also, by this I mean wheels, brakes and

anything else before the suspension mounts, this provides a very good increase in the handling of the

The Power of Lightweight
By Brenda Williams
Speed freaks out there will probably dream of driving a super vehicles such as the Lamborghinis or the
Ferraris. To them, those are the only automobile that can get them from zero to hundreds of miles per
hour as fast as they could change gears; to a top speed of not being able to be captured by the speed
cameras along the highway. Yes, these cars have always been the common yet popular image on
most pin up posters for these cars, with their monstrous V8 or V12 engine that produces the
lightning-like fast image in your mind. But today there are new toys in the market that might just change
your ‘super automobile is king’ mindset that you have always had..
Super automobiles depend on the high powered engine to propel the car. A simple rule: give higher
power to a car and the car will move faster. This leads to super cars with V12 engines with ratings of
over 500bhp. One such super car today is the infamous Bugatti Veyron that incorporates two engines
producing near 1000bhp. This gives the acceleration of the car from 0 to 62mph in just 2.5 seconds
and a top speed of 253mph. Other similar super cars production like the Koenigsegg CCX also hone
an 800+ bhp engine resulting in an astonishingly fast machine.
Another scientific rule came into the car manufacturing scene lately. On contrary to increasing the
power output of an engine, why not reducing the weight of a sports car? This has been a proven theory
on the race tracks as Formula 1 cars are actually very light if compared to their size and footprint. The
lighter the car is, even with a moderate powered engine, the car can be just as fast as any other super
car. Car makers are now playing around with the power-to-weight ratio, creating normal vehicles that
can be pitted against popular cars. Weight reduced race cars have always been popular ever since the
early years of automotive racing. Colin Chapman’s Caterham Seven is a good example of small,
nimble, and yet powerful race car on track. With its lightweight heritage, Lotus cars have spearheaded
the lightweight super autos with their Lotus Elise, which is both lightweight powerful, and well balanced
in handling. Recent models of Lotus Elise such as the supercharged version with a Toyota power plant,
which promises a 0 to 62mph run in just 4.3 seconds. Lighter super vehicles to be noted nowadays are
the Ariel Atom, the Caterham R500, and the KTM X-Bow. These ‘toys’ are relatively small and light
compared to other super cars by nearly half the size and weight. Born from the racing legacy, these
super lightweights uses ultra lightweight materials such as Carbon Fiber, Titanium, and Magnesium.
With their small and nimble body, they also outperform other super cars slightly in terms of handling.
Does this mean that speed freaks can get a fast ride at a relatively cheap price because of the little
amount of materials used? But do consider the idea that you are paying for a car without proper doors
and a windscreen that every other super automobile has. There is also the factor of the super car’s
‘oomph’ status to show off to the public. Worry not; there is the Lamborghini LP560-4, which is light
too.
