Airbags, Bluetoof, Nav Options, Power Seats, Sound Proofing, Steel Cages, Crumple Zones, Fleshlights, ABS, etc. List goes on and on.

Basically, safety and comfort. Something that a C3 doesn't have.

[SubZero]

looks like the leak was plugged

My Jaguar XK isn't know for light weight, but it weighs "only" 3800 pounds compared to this behemoth's 4200. No wonder it needs 700 HP.

I cheated on my '72 comfort, all custom on that score....

I be really generous and add ~300 lbs for all the above, as 90% of it is electronics that collectively weigh maybe 20 lbs, power seats another 40, sound proofing is plastic...10 lbs at most....steel cage?? 100 lbs, crumple zones are just bent up sheetmetal, and should weigh less than the same in a C3.....
