Yep, modern sports cars could do with going on a diet. All the extra safety gear, electronic driver aids and integrated 'infotainment systems' (complicated internet/facebook/twitter/TV screens designed to help prevent the driver seeing what or who they're about to crash into) add too much weight and suck the fun out of what should be light, agile cars.

Btw, that's a lowered, lightened Boxster Spyder parked next to an original 550 Spyder. Huge, isn't it.
