Surely not :? . The weight of the GT4 seems high as well. I weighed my BB4 when I first got it at 1250KG and my 5th lapped quicker than my 4th.

I got a figure of 1440kg from gt4.com
This seems much more plausible as I suspected with 4WD it could be 100kg heavier.
Usual weight for 5g is about 1300kg depending on 4WS, sunroof etc.
