It has lost much of its versatility, not yet being a true sports car
Losing the back seats means they should have also deleted other things (like Remote Engine Start, Heads up Display, Comfort Access, Wireless Charging Pad, Active Driving Assistant). If they did that, and lost the back seats, i could totally subscribe to it being a true CSL. Having comfort features like that seems to totally miss the point in my opinion, and means they just tried to hit 100kg weight reduction and not actually take out all of the essentials.

The weight of an F-series HUD display is a 139 pounds. Comfort Access aerials weigh 1.2 pounds. Wireless charging pads weigh about 1 pound.

But the HUD being in the car is a big one and very very strange to me.
