Too much of "German Engineering" Marketing. Cars cannot be light, if they have to fulfil all the customers "need" so as the regulations, which are for our safety (in most cases). The M3/M4 (F8X) has a weight loss compare to previous generation, but nowhere near as "advertised". The C Class (W205) lost weight, but a lot is tricky, like was the Cayman R (987). The 458 is way heavier than the given dry weight of 1380 kg. The Huracàn has a far better chassis than the outgoing Gallardo, a lot of use of exotic materials, yet is heavier than the Gallardo. Want a light car? Alfa Romeo 4C. But that car has nothing, so not a deal either for most. 100 kg more or less don't change a lot, for most.
Performance is more important than weight, but given the same performance, sure we'd all prefer the lighter car.
