Just throwing out an example, I'd rather drive a 300 hp/3000 lb car than a 600 hp/6000 lb uber-SUV, both having the same power:weight ratio. Who knows, maybe the new breed of enthusiast wants excessive power and torque with a cockpit having more buttons than a commercial airplane. Everything else be damned.

With the latest HQ video we have less than 200 lbs weight gain. It’s longer and wider for sure but it’s not been a smallish car since the E46. I doubt it will turn off any significant numbers vs the satisfaction of what sounds like a very big performance upgrade. The only references we’ve gotten is much faster and partly faster than the M4 GTS. That’s no small improvement and 150-200 lbs extra might not be that big of a deal to most in the end.
