Edit: heck my SL63 with amg performance pack from 2013 had 557hp. The M8 convertible will eat this for lunch at least in terms of straight line performance.
It's to make space for the hybrid.

I thought it was supposed to be smaller and lighter? It's bigger and about the same weight as R231, a quick glance suggests.
AWD and modern safety equipment may add some weight back in, also not sure if figures are using curb weight plus extra weight for passengers/luggage as some EU figures do.
