The big difference of the 918 is it is so very fast yet gets over 70 MPG in normal driving and has AC, leather and a full sound system. You car is great for California short trips but only a masochist would drive it from your house through Needles, CA and over to Death Valley and on to Phoenix, AZ in July then down to Miami, Florida.
I'm pretty sure a Lotus Elise (when they were able to be sold here) could have AC speced and a radio and it was about the same weight as my car (US version).

The Alfa 4C is pretty light as well, though the US one is way heavier than the Euro version.

Or a Boxster Spyder is under 3000 pounds which is in the right direction.

Miata is in the 2400 range I believe and can be had with AC and stereo and all the safety stuff.
