sounds logic but's not correct bevoz the 'leicht' would not fit in, gramatic etc.

Coupe-Leichtbau-Sport. I think. But "leichtbau"(you say leightweight) is the cls by far not. But this is the only combination which makes sense even if it's not leicht. The SL also stand for "Super Leicht", but the SL65 is about 2.000kg.
