The aircraft concerned has no engines, and is presumably stripped, so I'd guess at a weight of about 150,000 kgs. The French fatso would be at least twice that...empty.
Lol I was only poking fun at how ridiculous the idea of a 1.4L, quad-turbo set up that produces only 79kw sounds in such a heavy car. The 3.2L was gutless, I imagine the 1.4L to be completely lifeless?
Nevertheless, you're right. The V10 used in that stunt had a crapload of ballast in the back but I can't comment on what condition the plane was in.
