Looks like a great car. I'm sold. I'm calling my dealer right now. (Now where is that sarcasm emoji?)

1250kg dry weight is seriously low. That is approx the same weight as the 675LT...

I find it interesting that the promo clip spent about 1/2 of the time discussing the old 911R.

Thanks for sharing. I personally wish they had gone with a duck tail. I know it's not how the 1967 R looked but today we really need the down force. Seems like a duck tail could weigh in less then a wing that is motorized. Over all a great car but not made for the average Porsche guy. I'll stick with a GT car.

Am I the only one laughing at the fact that they put in the door straps to save weight, yet retain the super heavy electric windows? Even cup cars don't use those straps to open the doors anymore. They could have saved a legitimate 20 lbs by going to roll up windows. But hey, they saved maybe 2 grams by using the straps to open your door. Because, you know, racecar :rofl:

Well, if it really saves 0,500g...

Am I correct with these figures?

Rear and rear side windows: -4 kg
Roof: -1 kg
Front wing: -4 kg
Seats: -20 kg
AC+Radio: -23 kg
Insulation: -5 kg
Door straps: -0,5 kg
Insulation: -5kg

Wire harnesses?

Default A Silly Qn

But why would you spend this much time talk aboubt a car that has already sold out? Yes i agree they have to continuously market the brand but just doesnt make sense for a model which is already spoken for....***flame suit on***
