My Testimony about this car:
Today on this day July 9, 2004, I almos had a heart attack listening to the beautiful howl of this titanium beast. As soon as it gased my heart dropped like a 100 pound weight to the ground. I just was amazed! I am so amazed i have nothing else further to say, except im going to watch it again.
-end thought-
i just went to the website they have really nice videos. they even have best motoring

I wonder what they are weighing, surely not the whole motor. Maybe the block. Motortrend says 472lbs other places say 452, that is more believable than 280lbs. Even if everything was made of titanium a fully assembled motor displacing 5.7l would weigh more than 280. The only thing they say is made of titanium is the connecting rods, the rest they say is
"made exclusively of light alloy" I'm guessing aluminum or magnesium seeing as it would be difficult and excessively expensive to make a cast titanium alloy block.
I'm not sure but it sounds like that article is refering to their le mans race car and not the production car.

The crazy part is that Diamond is more abundant on earth than that, too.
