Yes, the SLR does use CFRP for its entire body construction. The weight of the SLC should be at around 1,650kg, whereas the current SLR is around 1,800 kg, which is what I was trying to point out :) Good point.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the SLR already has a body constructed 100% of carbon fibre, so I'm not sure why this new car will have any advantage over the SLR based on it having a carbon fibre body. “Even with a V8, the supercar should be on par if not better than the outgoing SLR, due to its weight advantage, mostly because aluminum and carbon fiber will be used in the construction of the frame and body.”
