Lid definitely appears aluminum, if fact rather frail. Check out this video:

And it's 40% stiffer than the last one, too. (I wonder how much stiffer it is than the 911?) I'm not lying when I tell customers this 981 chassis is the best sports car chassis money can buy for less than 458/McLaren money.

Go pull out your product book: At 981's have aluminum doors, lids, floor panels, front crash structures... etc. I get so frustrated when people keep saying the cayman is "neutered". The new chassis is light-years ahead of the 987.

A lot of this is coming from people who track and have to repair aluminum parts…it's a lot more expensive than the 987 frame.
