Its a comfortable heavy GT at heart. Why stiffen and lighten it up? It will never be Porsche 911 or Ferrari 296.

It does seem to have pretty good track potential however, its lap times aren't too far off an R8 V10 for example so it does seem interesting to see what an M8 CS would be like, even if for most it would be kinda useless 😂
