Lightweight RS and c2 conversions excluded who's shed the most weight from their c4?

I have a friend who's building one right now and his target weight is anywhere near 1100Kg. Anybody gotten that low? If so how does it go?

Geoffrey

Robert Linton, no question.

His car is 2wd, no? I assume this because it has a Tiptronic which was not made for use as a C4 tranny.

Any idea what it weighs and how it goes?

Thanks

Tuscany I can only assume from your reply you are not aware of what Robert Lintons car is. A project in perfect car ****! Do a search for "Humpty Dumpty" and enjoy your reading.

Robert's car is a c2. And it is the definition of car ****, even though he still has never shown the whole car. I can't wait to see that!

Tuscany964

Wow!!!

No I hadn't seen that, and now that I have I don't think I should have looked

Thanks for the tip

Is it a c4 though? As garrett said it looks like a tiptronic g'box. And if it is it would leave me kind of perplexed as to why you would do all that to a tiptronic (gs or not) unless more serious issues don't allow the use of a manual g'box. BTW I had never heard of a GS America before...

Tuscany964

that explains the tiptronic then...

thanks

Geoffrey

Ahh, maybe you are right and I have my facts messed up...sorry about that.

You may have never heard of the America GS before, because there is only 1.

Bob's put a lot of work into his car, and having seen his carbon fibre work first hand, I can honestly say it is art and engineering in a sublime form, truely astonishing.

You should have asked: "who has the most unique and /or expensive 964?"
Same answer; R. Linton

The seller of this very light C4 may be in contention:

(EDIT: I obviously need better reading glasses, but it is still a very cool C4! Also, I think I read somewhere that Walter Rohrl has one...)

Tuscany964

I appreciate the responses but as I said in the first post I was wondering who had the lightest c4 - NO c2 or c2 conversions or rs lightweights... just a stripped down c4.

As great as R.Linton's is it is not a c4 and c4 lightweights are a bit rare and expensive

Anybody?

I am definitely no expert, but in theory could you look at the lightest weight C2 that a lot of people have done on this board. Then add back the weight of the AWD components. Not sure what those would weigh though.

Now that I think about it, probably not a good idea. Just a thought.

i didn't found it but maybay it is in another topic.


thanks,
