I guess, - if they charge GT3 money that is.

I think the most important question to Porsche is desirability though...

Don't bet on it. Porsche has huge margins and anything that substantially increases the cost or time to build would have to be multiplied on the MSRP side.

Seriously, Polestar claim to shave 500lb using carbon fibre on Polestar 1 and it is based on the 90 SPA platform. And no, it will not cost more than a GT3...

Yes, there is a serious amount of CF used in that car. As you may or may not have noticed on Rudskogen, I have a personal interest in Polestar doing well, so thanks for the plug!

Don´t know what you mean but if you work with Polestar, - good for you! I´d love for my daily job to have a connection with cars

Forget any carbon tub on 992
maybe 995 or whatever they call it
