The weight was from the addition of luxury items, which a sports car does not need. The 2+2 took it to a new level - the addition of a back seat in a sports car - not needed, and adding additional weight. The 2+2 was arguably the worst sports car that Nissan ever made - weak, heavy, and wasted space.
