Wow, these are lighter and cheaper than anything out now. They only hold around five people, and weight less than ten thousand pounds! That is super light, which means it would probably be super fast too. Being so much lighter than before, I wonder what the purpose was for keeping such powerful engines on it, unless it was only a speed issue. Very cool if you ask me.
