Contest - Guess the Weight of a Bare Yaris Shell

[CTScott]

And the actual retail price (err weight) is 524 lbs.

edmscan was the closest (guessing 520 lbs).



I was pretty amazed as to how light the Yaris shell is. When you look at the curb weight of this car (2290 lbs MT / 2335 lbs AT) it is pretty amazing that the shell is less than 1/4 of that weight.


I will be posting another thread with detailed pictures of the cut sections to show the details of the construction.

Ironically at $0.06 per lb for scrap steel, it cost me more for sawsall blades and angle grinder cutting discs than I will make off the scrap steel. But, it was all worth it to have the opportunity to see how these cars are assembled.
