I do not require a combustion chamber in my sports car. I do however, prefer a curb weight under 1500 kg, which happens to exclude the vast majority of cars for sale in North America, even sporty ones, and EV sports cars under 1500 kg are very difficult to find indeed.

… I do however, prefer a curb weight under 1500 kg…

Why?

And don’t you mean pounds?

kg

1500lb would be ~680kg; that is serious race car territory. Not road legal these days; but a 1975 Fiat 500 weighed 500kg.

Many years ago, I had a 1992 Honda civic hatch; after looking it up; weighed 925kg.
