Hi. So i wonder why the C70(1) is just around 20-30 kilos lighter than the 850 wagon? How can that be true? I read it on wikipedia that the C70(1) is "Coupé:[10]1,499–1,547 kg (3,305–3,411 lb)" and the 850 is "estate:1,465–1,570 kg (3,230–3,461 lb)" heavy-
I mean, how can a coupe be not much lighter than a wagon? Was the C70(1) made tougher?

The convertible had some frame stiffeners of substantial metal added underneath, at least

Yeah, but the coupe is without all those mechanisms and the extra metal underneath. How can it still be so little less lighter? I expected it to be like 200-300 kilos less!
