Porsche and Mazda RX7 both used an extremely lightweight but strong aluminum scissors jack.
I found one on EBAY which I carry all the time. It collapses down low enough (3-3.25" as I recall) and weighs about 3#. It uses an aluminum crank handle.

This question regarding a compact jack was discussed on a number of threads and there was a Forum member who had offered to purchase these in a German dealership. Cost was lower than US but that may have changed.
