What is the lightest car currently in production?

[Random Variable]

The Citroën C1 weighs 1,742 lbs (790kg).

EDIT: I assume that the Toyota Aygo weighs about the same.

 

[godmare]

Those electric cars that look like golf carts.


Someone has two of them about a block from my house.


No doors ... tiny go-kart wheels ...

Somehow they're street legal tho, with tags and everything.

Don't forget cars sold/made in poor, crowded countries like China and India...

It's respectable, but not close to being one of the best.

I have yet to check on the Caterhams and the Westfields though. Also, those poke at the edge of what you'd call a "production" car
