Or maybe because Aston's AMV8 is going to have 370-380hp?



that isnt confirmed yet,



No it hasn't, but that's why I gave a general range.

Fanch,
The AMV8 will probably be closer to 1500kg, which is still a little heavy. However, I'm not sure you realize how much smaller of a car it is than the DB9. They share the same platform, but the chassis is possibily modular and can be extended or shortened. The DB9 is at least 1700kg, so your savings estimates aren't too far off actually.

About the 996 weight...in the U.S. at least, your basic 996 Carrera weighs at least 1350kg and I wonder how realistic this figure is once it gets on the road (especially considering that Porsche lists the coupes and their equivalent cab versions as the same weight). The popular C4S hits 1500kg easily. What happens if you add a cab and tiptronic? 1600-1700kg sports car?
