Ah yes, the 'lightweight' Glanza..
A low spec version that only ran in high boost, featured the questionable grey wipe-clean interior and divides opinion everytime it is asked about.
The spec was low - no electric windows, mirrors, ABS or central locking. These were all still factory options at the time of ordering so we still see a few well specced examples from time to time. Just to clarify - Aircon was STANDARD on the V range and this model was no exception.
It's actual purpose is one of two things, either a cheap-ass entry model for those with lightweight wallets or it was marketed as a performance version.
Haven't tracked down the brochure yet but I'll let you know soon as I find out which.

By my reckoning we'd be looking at 15kg maybe 20kg saving at the most over a regular V, sound about right?

If we look back a generation or two at the EP71 we find an interesting fact.
The Turbo S had a sibling branded the Turbo R:
This was Toyota's lightweight version aimed at the track enthusiast (a serious amount of EP71's saw track action so it was seen as clever marketing). This should give you an idea of how popular the regular 71's were(!) :
I'm of the opinion that the P-Sports Glanza could be a spiritual re-release of the Turbo R model. A pretty big assumption you'd think but guess how much lighter the R was?
20kgs.
