vantagesc:

 I never understood why the Vantage / DB9 / Vanquish era cars were so heavy despite using the VH platform (which presumably uses technology developed by Lotus).  Maybe the engines are heavy?

AM were one of the first to embrace an aluminium platform, but it is now about 14 years old - at the time of development they may not have had the advanced materials and design knowledge to optimize for the lightest weight.
