I don't know what the G87 CS will be, but we can always hope they use some weight saving materials.

Unlike the F87, I don't think the G87 CS will need more structural bracing. They pre-emptively did that already in the G87. Ditto larger brakes and tires. So it's possible that the weight actually goes down this time for the CS.

Probably not all the way down to 3500, though.
