lightweight cars Logos and Brands
Cars with minimal curb weight and designed for maximum power-to-weight ratio are featured in the “Lightweight Cars” section. Lotus, which adheres to Colin Chapman’s “add lightness” philosophy; Caterham, with its open-top roadsters on a tubular frame; BAC Mono; and Ariel Atom produce cars where weight reduction is a priority. The logos of lightweight sports car manufacturers reflect the British engineering school that dominates this segment. Brands in this category are united by a common approach to automotive engineering, where weight reduction is valued over increases in engine power.
